New Year's Eve bingo

New Year’s Eve is all about celebration—whether you’re hosting a big bash, enjoying a cozy night with close friends, or juggling Zoom parties. What better way to keep the fun going than with a festive round (or ten) of New Year’s Eve bingo? It’s simple, customizable, and an easy way to get everyone involved, even the ones who have been sneaking extra champagne. Plus, with bingo cards tailored to New Year’s traditions, it’s like a mini-year-in-review on a single sheet.

Ready to give it a go? Here’s a breakdown of how to play and some creative twists to keep things exciting.

How to play New Year’s Eve bingo

 

Setting up a game of bingo for your New Year’s Eve gathering doesn’t take much effort. The great part? It’s flexible enough to suit everything from intimate dinners to virtual countdowns.

Step 1: Set up your bingo cards

You’ll need a set of New Year-themed bingo cards. These can include words or pictures that reflect the festivities, like “midnight kiss,” “fireworks,” “champagne,” and “New Year’s resolutions.” If you’re feeling extra creative, you can make your own with our bingo card generator, which allows unlimited customization—perfect for themes!

• Top tip: Need bingo cards fast? Use Bingo Card Creator’s ready-made New Year’s templates to save time. You can download and print them or even send them digitally.

Step 2: Hand out the cards

Distribute one card to each player. You can keep things digital or print them out for in-person games. Make sure you have enough varied cards, so everyone isn’t winning at the same time—although, that might make for a quick game if that’s the goal before midnight!

Step 3: Play the game

The gameplay is classic. Call out items related to New Year’s Eve—whether you’ve listed them on the card as words, pictures, or even videos (if you’re playing online). Players mark off the corresponding squares as they hear them.

The first person to mark off a full row, column, or diagonal line shouts “BINGO!” and wins. You can make things extra competitive by offering themed prizes, like mini bottles of champagne or fun party favors.

Alternative ways to play New Year’s Eve bingo

Bored of the standard bingo game? Switch it up! Here are a few alternative ways to keep the bingo energy high as the countdown approaches.

Speed bingo

In speed bingo, the goal is simple: be the fastest to complete your card. Set a timer for 10 minutes and whoever marks the most squares wins. It’s fast-paced and ideal for when you want to get a quick game in before the ball drops.

Resolution bingo

Why not turn the game into an opportunity for self-reflection? Instead of New Year-themed squares, fill your cards with common New Year’s resolutions. Players mark off things like “exercise more,” “eat healthier,” or “save money” as they announce what they plan to improve in the coming year. It’s a fun way to inspire each other for the year ahead while staying competitive.

New Year’s scavenger hunt bingo

This one is perfect for big gatherings or even virtual games. Turn your New Year’s Eve bingo into a scavenger hunt. Each square contains an item that players must physically find in their surroundings—think of things like “sparkler,” “party hat,” or “noisemaker.” It adds an extra layer of excitement and gets everyone moving!

• Did you know? Bingo Card Creator allows you to create custom scavenger hunt bingo cards, so you can tailor your hunt to your specific party environment.

Virtual bingo party

Hosting a virtual New Year’s Eve party? No problem! Bingo is one of the easiest games to adapt to online events. Send your guests digital bingo cards, use a random number generator (or bingo card caller), and let the fun unfold on Zoom, Skype, or any platform you prefer.
