Your phone is your bingo card. Listen to the music in the room, find matching songs on your card, and mark them as they are played. The host checks winning claims.
Join the host's game
- Scan the player QR code displayed by the host, or open BingoBeats Join and enter the game code.
- Choose your player name and submit your request. If you see a waiting message, keep the page open while the host admits you.
- Once admitted, check that your card is visible. Keep this browser tab available throughout the game.
Understand your card
Cards use a five-by-five BINGO grid with a FREE SPACE in the center. That center counts automatically when a winning pattern is checked.
Your card contains a selection of songs from the game's playlist. A song playing in the room may not be on your particular card; wait for the next one if you cannot find it.
The host may hide artist names or highlight the current song's column. A highlighted column is a clue to where to look, not an automatic mark.
Mark songs as you hear them
- Find the song on your card and tap its tile to mark it.
- If you tapped the wrong tile, tap it again to undo your mark.
- Continue listening and marking. A mark is only valid for a win when that song has also been called in the game.
Check the target and optional tools
Catch Up and the Scoreboard are host-controlled options. Their absence does not mean your card is broken.
| Player tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| See Target | Shows the current winning pattern. Check this before calling bingo, especially when the host changes the target. |
| Catch Up | If enabled by the host, opens a read-only review showing called songs and the state of your marks. Return to your main card to change marks. |
| Scoreboard | If enabled, shows confirmed winners. Submitting a claim alone does not add you as a winner. |
Call bingo and wait for confirmation
When you have the displayed pattern, use the Bingo button. Your claim goes to the host for review; it is not an automatic win.
If the host enables blocking of invalid claims, an incomplete or incorrect pattern cannot be submitted. Check the target, your marks, and whether those songs have actually been called.
Wait while a claim is pending. If the host clears it, correct any mistakes and continue playing. Previously confirmed lines cannot be claimed again as new lines.
Return after an interruption
If your connection drops, first restore internet access and return to the same tab on the same device and browser. BingoBeats uses saved session information to attempt to reconnect you.
Avoid clearing browser data, switching into private browsing, or selecting Leave Game while trying to reconnect. Leave Game deliberately removes your saved player session.
If your card does not return, tell the host your player name before joining again. If the host ended the game, you will need the next game's joining details.
Common questions
Does music play through my phone?
The card is for marking and claiming. Listen to the host's music system in the room.
Does Catch Up mark my card for me?
No. It is a read-only review. Make changes on your main card.
Why was my completed line rejected?
The current target might require more than one line or a different shape. Each required song must be marked and called, and a previously confirmed line is not a new line.
