Do we need to print bingo cards?

No. Each guest gets their own card on their phone and marks it as squares are called.

Seventy-five Diwali things across five columns: the lights, the sweets, the home, the celebration, and the story.

Does it explain the words?

Yes. The board shows a one-line hint under each call, from diya to Dhanteras.

A quick five, a row, the four corners, a diagonal, and the full house. Every prize is open at once, and the full house ends the game.

How many people can play?

Two to sixteen, for ten to fifteen minutes.

About Diwali Bingo

Bingo built for Diwali, for the family gathering or the office celebration: the same five-by-five card and the same rules as the classic game, but every square is a Diwali thing - the diya, the rangoli, the ladoo, the new clothes, Rama’s return. Each guest gets their own card on their phone, and the board calls one long run of squares.

Every prize is live at once: a quick five, a full row, the four corners, a diagonal - each is claimable the moment somebody actually has it, and the full house ends the game. A guest who missed the early prizes is still in it to the end.

The columns are numbered one to five and the board calls the column with each word, so a square is easy to find on a phone screen. Every square carries a small line-drawn icon, and the board shows a one-line hint under each call for the less obvious ones.

Two to sixteen players and ten to fifteen minutes for a full run. It plays in the browser: the board goes on a TV or a laptop, and guests join by scanning a QR code with no app and no accounts. Square artwork is drawn from OpenMoji (CC BY-SA 4.0).

How a room starts

Put the game's board screen where everyone can see it: a TV, a laptop, or a shared screen on a video call.
Players scan the QR code (or type the room code) in their phone's browser. No app, no account.
Play — everyone answers, votes, and scores from their own phone.

How to play Diwali Bingo

A short narrated walkthrough of the whole game, from joining on your phone to the final scores: watch the how-to video. It is one tap from inside the room too, so a first-time group never needs the rules explained.

Where Diwali Bingo fits

You will find it in the Diwali room, alongside the other games picked for that occasion.
