Human Bingo

Find someone whoNeeds a room

A grid of traits. Get up, find the person, tap the square.

Everyone gets a grid of statements and has to find a person each one is true of. It is the only activity in the bank that physically moves the room, which is exactly why it belongs at an offsite and not on a video call.

Run this when…

The situations it was built for. If none of these is the room you have, it is probably the wrong activity.

  • The first hour of an offsite
  • A conference or large in-person event
  • A merger's first joint gathering

How it runs

A grid of traits, filled by getting up and finding the person it describes.

  1. 1You start a session and put the code on the big screen.
  2. 2Everyone joins on their phone — no app, no sign-up, just the code.
  3. 3You drive the pace from the host screen; the room answers as they go.
  4. 4Ending the session builds the report, with every answer in it.

Running it well

Only the host sees these. Participants never do.

  • One name per square, and nobody may fill more than two squares on the same sheet. Without that rule people stand with their own team and finish in ninety seconds.
  • Rewrite four or five squares to fit your organisation. The specific ones are always the ones that get talked about.

Run it yourself

Free for thirty days, no card. Add it, share the code, and your room is playing in about fifteen seconds.
