Movie Night Bingo
Party bingo for watching films with friends. Every film does the same things. The hero walks away from an explosion without looking back. Somebody says the title out loud. The villain monologues instead of shooting. Movie Night Bingo turns all of it into a game you play while you watch.
Pick a pack, deal a card, and dab each cliché as it happens on screen. A full row, column, or diagonal is a bingo. Say it out loud.
Free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Play together in about ten seconds
One person deals a card and reads out four characters. Everyone else types them in. That is the whole multiplayer system.
No accounts. No sign-in. No internet connection. Nothing sent anywhere, ever. The code itself carries the pack, the card size, and the deal, so two phones that type the same code land on the same game without either of them talking to a server. It works in a basement with no signal.
Pick whether everyone gets a different arrangement of the same pack, which is the classic race, or the identical card, so nobody can win on an easier draw.
Six packs, 315 clichés
| Pack | Tiles |
|---|---|
| Action | 57 |
| Reality TV | 52 |
| Rom-Com | 52 |
| Sci-Fi | 52 |
| Horror | 51 |
| Christmas | 51 |
More than fifty tiles in every pack, so the same card does not come back next week. Long-press any tile to see what counts and settle the argument.
Three card sizes: a quick 3 x 3, a 4 x 4 that lasts a whole film, or a 5 x 5 with a free centre square. Hate your card? Shuffle it as often as you like, right up until you dab the first tile.
Make it yours
Copy any included pack and edit the copy: cut the tiles you never see and add your group’s own running jokes. The included packs never change, on purpose, because a room code has to deal the same content on everyone’s phone. Write a pack from scratch too, and send either one to the table as a single pasteable message.
Six colour themes including a light one, ten dab marks, and ten dab colours. With four phones showing the same card, “mine is the purple skulls” is how a table tells them apart.
When somebody wins
A flashbulb, falling confetti, a fanfare through the speaker, and the winning line lighting up one tile at a time. Loud enough that the rest of the room looks up, which is the point. All of it can be switched off.
Finished nights are saved. Pull an old card back up to admire it, and add the film’s title afterwards, because nobody decides what they are watching until the card is already dealt.
Free, with no catch
Every pack, every card size, and every theme, with no ads, no accounts, no tracking, and no paywall. There is an optional tip jar that unlocks nothing, because there is nothing left to unlock.
