Bingo Card Generator

How to make your own bingo cards

This free bingo card generator is a bingo card maker and printer in one: pick a format, set the number of cards and print.

1. Choose the card type: 75-ball (the default), 90-ball or Words.
2. Set how many cards you need under Cards, from 1 to 100. The preview updates as you go.
3. Fine-tune the look. Keep or turn off the Free center and change its text, add a Title and a Footer such as “Team social · Dec 12”, and choose a Color.
4. Pick the layout for printing: Cards per page (1, 2 or 4) and Paper (US Letter or A4).
5. Press Print / Save as PDF. Your browser’s print window opens; print, or choose “Save as PDF” to keep or send a file.

Show all displays the cards after the first 12, New deck makes a new set, and Share creates a link that rebuilds the same deck on another computer.

75-ball, 90-ball or word bingo?

• 75-ball cards have five columns under B, I, N, G and O. Column B holds numbers 1–15, I 16–30, N 31–45, G 46–60 and O 61–75, in random order, with an optional free space in the middle.
• 90-ball tickets follow the UK style: 3 rows by 9 columns with exactly five numbers in each row, fifteen in all. The columns hold 1–9, 10–19 and so on up to 80–90, small to large from top to bottom.
• Word bingo cards don’t have to be 5 × 5: they also come in 3 × 3 and 4 × 4. Items can be up to 40 characters, duplicates are removed, and odd grids can have a free center.

Bingo card ideas

• Office meeting bingo: squares like “You’re on mute” and “Let’s take this offline” turn a long call into a game; start from the Office meeting starter.
• Baby shower bingo: guests mark gifts as they’re unwrapped — onesie, stroller, night light.
• Holiday party bingo: mix the Holiday party starter with your team’s own traditions, and pair it with the Secret Santa generator for the gift exchange.
• Conference buzzword bingo: “game changer”, “north star”, “Q&A runs over” — for keynote watchers with a sense of humor.
• Road-trip bingo: spot a red barn, a water tower or a scenic overlook.
• Music bingo: list the song titles you’ll play, generate word cards, and play the songs in random order with the bingo caller set to Words.

Use 30 or more items so cards differ in content, not just in order: with exactly as many items as squares, every card holds the same items, and the bingo generator says so.

Printing tips

Two cards per page suit most events; four save paper when players sit close (100 cards take 25 bingo sheets). For large print, choose one card per page: the squares are 30 mm tall with 22-point numbers. Pick US Letter or A4 to match your printer; the margins are 12 mm, and dashed lines mark where to cut. Save as PDF to keep a file: your bingo card template for printing the same cards again. For 50 or 100 cards, print from a desktop or laptop; card stock lasts longer with markers or counters.

Playing on phones

Play on phones lists a link for every card. Send one link to each player by chat or email; they need no app or account. On the phone, a tap marks or unmarks a square (each at least 56 pixels tall). BINGO! shows the card number and deck code in huge type for the host, and Clear marks starts the card fresh. Links contain the deck’s random seed, the card number, the title and, for word bingo, your items — no names or accounts.

How every card is made unique (deck code)

Every deck starts from a random seed made by your browser’s secure random generator. Each card is derived from that seed and its card number, so card 7 is the same on paper, on a phone and in the caller. Every card shows the seed’s first six characters as the deck code, with its card number: “Deck K7QX2M · Card 7 of 10”. A card that would repeat an earlier one is made again, so no two cards in a deck match.

Press Open caller for this deck to run the game: the bingo caller calls numbers or words at random and checks any card by its number. Or try the quiz board maker, the random number generator or the wheel spinner.
