How to play virtual bingo

Playing virtual bingo is simple and easy, and doesn’t take long to set up! For full details on how to set up the game check out our complete guide to hosting a virtual bingo night! 

You can get your game together in 4 quick steps.

Step 1. Get your ghouls together

Bring your guys, gals, and ghouls together for a night of spooks and terror!

Step 2. Dig up your tickets online

Remember, this is a Halloween bingo night, so to add an extra layer of toil and trouble you might want your bingo cards to be themed. Think cobwebs and witches, pumpkins and ghosts scattered around the card. These symbols could even take the place of some of your blank squares! 

Step 3. Time to haunt

You’ve got your guys, gals, and ghouls together so now it’s time to play Halloween virtual bingo!

Step 4. Winner!

The first person to mark off all their numbers and call BINGO is the winner!

Make your bingo game spooky

As this is a special Halloween game of bingo, you want to make sure your game is full of scary excitement! Here are some of the simplest ways that we think you can make your bingo night extra chilling.

Add a devilish twist

Why not make things Halloween-themed and have people call out ‘Boo’ for a line and ‘Haunted House’ when they have a full house? This is a fun way to make things a little more festive, and you could even penalise people if they don’t make the appropriate Halloween call! How's that for a trick...

Zoom Backgrounds - download our spooky backgrounds!

We've created a series of fun and spooky downloadable zoom backgrounds you can use to boost the spook-factor of your virtual bingo night, so check them out and get ghostly! Whether you’re hosting your Haunted party for kids or want something a little more macabre for the grown ups, we have a whole host of backgrounds for you to choose from. 

Feast your eyes on our ghastly and gruesome Halloween Zoom backgrounds.

We think you’ll like these spine-chilling backgrounds, they’ll really set the mood! But if none of these are spooky enough for you, a quick google search will bring up plenty of other options.

Free printable Halloween bingo cards & bingo calls

You may choose to generate bingo cards online using a number generator easily found with a quick search, but to keep in the Halloween spirit, think about using themed bingo tickets that you can print off. This way, there’s no preparation in generating your tickets and you can have tickets that match your Halloween theme.

When it comes to bingo calls, there are the traditional ones that you’ll be familiar with from regular bingo games, but this is a haunted Halloween event so you should try and make them ghastly too!
