How to play Bingo Caller

  1. 1Give each player a bingo card. To make one, draw a 5×5 grid with B-I-N-G-O across the top and a free space in the middle.
  2. 2Fill each column with different numbers: B 1–15, I 16–30, N 31–45, G 46–60, O 61–75.
  3. 3Tap Call next number, or switch on auto-call. Players mark any number they have.
  4. 4The first player to complete a line across, down or diagonally shouts BINGO!
  5. 5Check their numbers against the board on screen. If they all match, they win.
