Now, you awaken the bingo force within you and set up your very own Star Wars bingo game – a craze which recently has really become an attractive option among a niche following of bingo fans.
In this guide, we will take you through how you can create a Star Wars bingo game for you and your friends as well as what is required, though to find other types of bingo games you can do so by clicking here to see what else is available.
See who is interested in playing
With such a huge following, it is highly likely that you are bound to know some people who are Star Wars fans, though if not, this doesn’t matter. This is a really fun game to play with friends and bingo is very sociable in nature anyway! Though before you decide to go ahead with this, ask a few people whether they would be interested – you might well be surprised!
Find some Star Wars Bingo Cards
There are various different websites where you can find Star Wars themed bingo tickets that you can download to then print them from your device for free. One of the best things about them is that you can choose between various Star Wars themes for each bingo card, with them being based on a particular movie from the series. If you decide to play virtually, then send the details to each person who wants to join!
Decide on a platform!
If you have decided to play virtually, which is something that is becoming particularly popular, then you need to find a platform that each person is comfortable using. Let’s look at the various ones that are available.
Skype
An easy to use online platform, you can either download the app easily or use this via your browser. Simply invite participants into a group via email and then set up your call. Don’t forget to turn on your camera though!
Zoom
Similar to Skype, though the free version of Zoom has a 40 minute time limit. No matter, you can simply set up another call for the next game. This is good because you simply send a link to the Zoom meeting to those who are taking part (they need to download the app or join via a browser).
Facebook Messenger Rooms
If everyone has Facebook, then this is arguably the easiest platform to use, though it can sometimes be a bit slow during peak hours when more people are using it. Compared to Skype and Zoom though, no technical details are required, you just set up a room and invite your friends. All they need to do is accept it!
Find a Random Number Generator
This stands for RNG and you can simply use one from Google. Because in Star Wars Bingo, the numbers are symbols, it is worth assigning a value to each symbol so the bingo caller knows what the symbol is. In the RNG, you choose a defined amount of fields (such as numbers), based on how many symbols there are in the game.
Nominate a caller
Because you have set up the game, it is probably easier for you to be the caller until everyone gets used to it, then you can swap to your heart’s content. The caller reveals the values that the RNG provides, while you can also stop and start the RNG between each go.
Eyes down and good luck!
Once everyone knows the rules you are ready to play. It is worth making sure that each person’s audio is connected first though, while you might want to decide on a token prize for the winner!
