Bingo Cards and Games
Gig Game offers a family of modern, hosted bingo games designed for very different types of events—from bars and fundraisers to music parties and large trade shows.
All bingo games on Gig Game share the same core foundation:
- Players join on their mobile phones
- Hosts run games from a Host Console
- A shared HUD (big screen display) keeps everyone in sync
- No app downloads required
Where they differ is how players interact and how bingo cards are handled.
This page helps you understand both the game types and the bingo card options, so you can choose the right setup for your event.

🎵 Music Mobo Bingo (Music-Driven Bingo)
Music Mobo Bingo replaces bingo numbers with songs, artists, or albums.
Instead of calling numbers, hosts play music from Spotify playlists, and players mark songs as they hear or recognize them.
What makes it different
- Music recognition replaces number calling
- Uses public Spotify playlists
- Great energy and social interaction
- Auto-call synced to music playback
- Visual album art on the HUD
Bingo cards & reuse
Music Mobo Bingo supports the same card-saving system as Mobo Bingo:
- Mobile bingo cards for players’ phones
- Printable music bingo cards
- Saved Bingo Sets for recurring music nights
- Reusable printed or laminated cards
- Exact card matching for fair verification
Important note
Music Mobo Bingo is intended for private and personal use and relies on the host’s own Spotify account. Gig Game does not provide music licenses.
Best used for
- House parties
- Game nights
- Music-themed events
- Social gatherings

📱 Mobo QR Bingo (Movement & Engagement Bingo)
Mobo QR Bingo turns bingo into an interactive scavenger-style experience.
Players unlock bingo spaces by scanning QR codes placed around a venue, booth, product, or location.
What makes it powerful
- QR codes unlock spaces instead of calls
- Encourages movement and exploration
- Each player unlocks spaces independently
- Built-in lead capture
- Sponsor- and exhibitor-friendly
Card differences (important)
Mobo QR Bingo is mobile-only by design:
- Bingo cards are shown on players’ phones
- QR scanning requires a camera-enabled device
- Printed bingo cards are not supported
- Cards are not saved or reused between games
This keeps QR Bingo focused on real-time interaction and engagement, rather than static cards.
Best used for
- Trade shows & expos
- Conferences
- Brand activations
- Scavenger hunts
- Sponsor-driven events
