Join the Geeks & Grounds bingo challenge! Video game bingo is a fun way to encourage yourself to try a variety of titles based on specific criteria.

Here’s the card I set up for myself in my 2024 game journal!

I’ll be aiming for a Blackout (playing games in all 25 criteria) this year, but enjoy this challenge however you’d like! Go for one traditional bingo (five in a row), as many bingos as possible, or join me in trying to fill the card using both G&G selections as well as personally chosen titles.

How To Set Up Your Card 🖊️

On a piece of paper, in your gaming journal, or even in a digital document, create a 5x5 grid, writing down the prompts in each box. Feel free to reorder the prompts if you’d like (especially if you’re not going for a Blackout).
1. 5x5 feel a bit much? Go for a 4x4 instead and pick your favorite 16 prompts.
As you select and play games throughout the year, keep the prompts in mind, and record each title in the appropriate box.
Feel free to share your selections with the rest of the G&G community throughout the year or once you’ve hit bingo!
