Combo cards: A blend of imagery and text

The combo card feature is a groundbreaking addition that allows you to seamlessly integrate images and words on the same bingo card.

This innovation opens up endless possibilities for game creation, making it an ideal tool for educators looking to combine visual learning with vocabulary building. Imagine a card that pairs an image of an apple with the word in multiple languages, or a themed party game where guests match images of movie characters with their famous quotes. The combo card bridges the gap between visual and textual learning, adding depth and engagement to any bingo game.

Full traditional bingo support: A world of variety

Bingo Card Creator 3.0 now offers full traditional bingo support, catering to the entire spectrum of bingo variants, including 30, 75, 80, and 90 ball games.

This comprehensive support ensures that regardless of the bingo tradition you or your community prefers, you can create games that resonate. From the brisk pace of 30-ball speed bingo to the classic format of 90-ball bingo, our platform accommodates every style, bringing a global bingo experience right to your fingertips.

Customizable card header: Elevating branding and theming

The customizable card header option significantly enhances your ability to tailor bingo cards to fit the branding or thematic essence of your event. This level of customization extends beyond simple text changes, allowing for the complete removal of the title for a cleaner look or the substitution of the title with an image.

Such flexibility means that event organizers can seamlessly integrate their logo or any event-specific imagery right at the top of each card, making each game not just a fun activity but also an extension of the event's branding or thematic narrative. This feature is a powerful tool for creating a cohesive and immersive experience for participants, ensuring that every aspect of the event, right down to the bingo cards, reflects the intended ambiance and message.

Free space image options

The upgrade free space image option revolutionizes the center square of your bingo cards. Traditionally, this space was static, often filled with a 'free' text marker. Now, this space can feature an image, broadening the scope for creative expression and thematic depth in your bingo games.

This option can be used to insert a logo, emblem, or any thematic imagery that resonates with the game's context, adding a layer of visual interest and engagement. Whether it's for educational purposes, to reinforce a learning objective, or simply to add a fun, personalized touch to a casual game, the ability to swap the free space for an image enhances the visual appeal of your cards, making each game distinct and memorable.

AI-powered word lists: Effortless customization

With AI-powered word lists, creating diverse and engaging bingo games is easier than ever. This feature leverages artificial intelligence to generate themed word lists, removing the hassle of manual entry and sparking creativity in your game design.

Whether you're looking for educational content, holiday themes, or specific categories, AI-powered word lists help you create compelling bingo cards with just a few clicks, saving time and enhancing your games.

New style options: Refresh your bingo cards

New style options offer a suite of aesthetic enhancements that can change the look and feel of your bingo cards without altering their content. From grid shapes and column styles to multicolored backgrounds and customizable borders, these options provide a wealth of creative control. Adjust grid spacing, choose between square or rounded card shapes, and select from an expanded range of fonts to give your cards a fresh appearance that matches your event or personal style.

We've even integrated quick access to stock imagery from Unsplash!

Quick apply templates and styles

With Bingo Card Creator 3.0, personalizing your bingo games has become faster and more intuitive thanks to the ability to quick apply templates and styles. Directly from the generator, you can now effortlessly apply various card styles within the styles area, enabling you to instantly change the aesthetic of your cards without altering their content.

Additionally, the templates option allows you to completely transform your card by applying one of over 1400 pre-designed templates. These templates cover a wide range of themes, occasions, and subjects, making it easy to find the perfect design for your game. Whether you're hosting a holiday-themed party, an educational game for students, or a corporate team-building event, you can quickly find and apply a template that fits the occasion.

Revamped printing UI with preview

The new printing design with preview feature introduces a streamlined, user-friendly interface for printing your bingo cards. This update includes a print preview function, allowing you to see exactly how your cards will look before you print them.

Whether you're printing a single card or a batch, the new UI ensures a smooth process, and the preview option helps avoid waste, ensuring your cards are perfect on the first print.

As an added extra, we now support generating much larger PDFs up to 1,000 cards!

Human bingo: The ultimate icebreaker

Human bingo is an innovative feature tailored for icebreakers, team-building activities, or simply to add a personal touch to your gatherings. Instead of numbers or words, the squares on these bingo cards contain traits, experiences, or actions that players must find in other participants. It encourages interaction, storytelling, and laughter, transforming your event into a memorable bonding experience.

To help better facilitate a human bingo game, we're adding a space at the bottom of each square to write a person's name, just enable it when you go to print your card.

A brand new design for online play

The latest update to Bingo Card Creator 3.0 brings an exhilarating overhaul to the online play design, offering a sleek, intuitive, and visually engaging platform for both hosts and players.

This redesign focuses on enhancing the user experience, making online bingo games more accessible, enjoyable, and dynamic than ever before. But we didn't just make it nicer looking and easier to use, we also added many new features! Here's a few highlights.

No-call mode: Self-paced fun

The no-call mode is tailored for bingo activities where traditional calling isn't required, such as scavenger hunts or self-directed learning tasks. In this innovative mode, players engage with their bingo cards in a unique way, seeking out items, completing tasks, or discovering facts that correspond to the squares on their card.

This approach turns the classic game of bingo into a dynamic, interactive experience. It's perfect for educators creating engaging classroom activities, event organizers looking to add a novel twist to their events, or anyone aiming to transform their bingo game into a hands-on adventure.

Automatic call mode

Automatic call mode simplifies the role of the bingo host by automating the call process. This mode is ideal for large online events where managing calls can be challenging. It ensures a smooth flow of the game, with calls made at regular intervals, allowing the host to focus on engaging with participants and managing the event.

Automatic mode brings the traditional bingo hall experience into the digital age, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Custom winning patterns and Auto-win

Introducing custom winning patterns and auto-win, features that allow you to set preset patterns or create your own, displaying these to players for a new layer of strategy and fun. The auto-win feature skips the caller validation and the need for players to press a bingo button, automatically verifying a win when a player's card matches the designated pattern.

This streamlines gameplay, especially in larger or more competitive settings, ensuring fairness and excitement as players strive to achieve the winning configurations.

Customizable background and marker styles

With customizable background and marker styles, players can now personalize their bingo experience down to the last detail. Choose from a variety of background themes and dauber (marker) styles to reflect your personality or match the theme of your event. Whether you prefer vibrant colors, subtle hues, or thematic elements, these customization options allow you to create a bingo environment that's uniquely inviting and engaging for all players.
