Bingo patterns and how they play

The pattern decides how long a game lasts. Pick it before the first call, and LiveBingo checks every claim against it.

How it works

Ready in about a minute

  1. 01

    Open LiveBingo on a TV, a laptop or a projector. The screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code.

  2. 02

    Everyone scans the QR or types the code at FreeLiveBingo.com and gets their own card on their phone.

  3. 03

    The TV calls, called squares light up on every card, and the game checks each bingo.

One line

Five in a row across, down or corner to corner, using the free space. The quickest game, good for a first round.

Two lines

Any two complete lines. Roughly twice as long as a single line.

Four corners

Just the four corner squares. Short, and it rewards luck more than speed.

The X

Both diagonals, crossing at the free space. A good middle game.

Picture frame

The whole outside edge: 16 squares. A long game for a big room.

Blackout

Every square on the card. The longest game, best saved for the end of the night.

Questions

Good to know

Can I change the pattern mid-game?

Only before anyone has a bingo, so nobody loses a win to a rule change.

Which pattern is best for kids?

One line or four corners, so the game ends before attention does.

Does the free space count?

Yes, for every pattern that crosses the middle.
