Drinking bingo: free cards to play or print
Bingo, but every square is something that happens at the party: someone arrives late, someone spills a drink, the neighbour complains. Everyone gets a different card, marks squares as they happen and hands out sips when they complete a line. Play on your phones or print a card for every guest.
- 👥 2–30 players
- ⏱ The whole night
- 🎒 A phone each, or printed cards and pens
Drinking bingo: play online
Everyone gets their own card
Pick a theme and deal yourself a card: tap a square when it happens on screen and take a sip. Complete a line and you hand out sips. Print a different card for everyone in one go.
Choose a theme (house party, bar, wedding, bachelorette, movie or football) and deal a card. Print as many different cards as you have guests.
Drinking bingo: quick rules
Give everyone a different bingo card for the night (party, bar, wedding or bachelorette). When something on your card happens, mark it and take a sip. The first person to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts “Bingo!” and hands out 3 sips. A full card wins the night.
How to play drinking bingo
Pick a theme
House party, a night at the bar, a wedding, a bachelorette, a movie or a match. Each theme has 40 squares, so every card is different.
Deal the cards
Everyone opens this page and taps “Deal me a card”, or print one card per guest (they’re numbered, so nobody gets the same one).
Mark and sip
When something on your card happens, mark it and take a sip. Only you, since everyone’s card is different.
Bingo!
Complete a row, column or diagonal and shout “Bingo!”: hand out 3 sips. Keep playing for more lines; a full card wins the night.
Beer bingo (the bar version)
Beer bingo is drinking bingo on a night out, or at a taproom “bingo night”: a caller reads numbers and each full line wins a round. Our Night at the bar theme swaps numbers for things that happen at the bar (someone orders the wrong drink, a birthday song, last orders). Many bars and breweries run real beer bingo nights too; this version needs no caller.
Bingo themes and square ideas

Make your own bingo squares
- Aim for things that will happen 1–3 times an evening; rare squares make bingo impossible, constant ones make it too easy.
- Mix easy squares (someone takes a selfie) with a few harder ones (a neighbour complains).
- Personalise it: the host’s catchphrase, the friend who always arrives late, the song someone always requests.
- Keep squares kind: about situations, not about making fun of one guest.
Drinking bingo variations
- Blackout bingo
- Only a full card counts. Great for a long night with gentle squares.
- Team bingo
- Pairs share a card and both sip on each square.
- Sober bingo
- Every mark is a point; the winner picks the next game. Switch to No alcohol above.
Tips for a good game
- Print cards before guests arrive and leave pens around.
- Mark squares honestly: only what you actually saw.
- Keep the sip per square small; lines come in clusters.
Play it safe: every game here works with sips of any drink, or none at all. Only adults of legal drinking age should drink alcohol, alternate with water, and never drink and drive. [How to drink responsibly](/drink-responsibly/)
