Open LiveBingo on a TV, a laptop or a projector. The screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code.
Everyone scans the QR or types the code at FreeLiveBingo.com and gets their own card on their phone.
The TV calls, called squares light up on every card, and the game checks each bingo.
Callers say the letter, the number, then the nickname: "B, 11, legs eleven." Some calls have answers the room shouts back, like "quack quack" for 22. Put the caller on the TV so everyone can see the number even when the room is loud.
Kelly's eye (1), legs eleven (11), two little ducks (22), clickety click (66), two fat ladies (88) and top of the shop (90).
Because the two 2s look like a pair of ducks. Players often answer with "quack quack".
The caller shows the letter and number big on the TV. Add your own nickname out loud, and the room will answer back.
