More About the Game
Once Bingo is officially released in a week or so users will be able to create a Bingo Room for any notecard set available on Easy Notecards! Also, we are working on a Single Player Mode that will be available sometime in July.

There are 2 Game Types:
  • Cover All - A valid BINGO is when all items are selected. Uses a 3 x 3 card for notecard sets with less than 30 notecards.
  • 5 In A Row - A valid BINGO is when 5 items in a row are correctly selected to form a horizontal, vertical or diaganol line. Uses a 5 x 5 card for notecard sets with 30 or more notecards.
Features:
  • Chat - Talk with other players in the room. You can send a private message to a player by using the @ sign. For example: "@player_name Good Luck!" will only be seen by player_name.
  • Multiple Cards - Play up to 3 cards at once.
  • Select Bingo Card Data to Use - When creating a Bingo Room you can select to use either the front or back of notecards to be used for the Bingo Card Data.
  • Password Protect - You can enter a password to restrict access to the Bingo Room you create.
  • Player Stats - When the game is over view selections you got correct, incorrect and missed.
  • Speed Up Intermission - By default there is a 1 minute intermission between games. If more than half of the room is ready the intermission will be set to 5 seconds.
  • Cumulative Bingo Points - Your overall Bingo Points will be tracked and displayed in Your Locker.
We hope you enjoy the new game that is both educational and fun!
