Pub quiz bingo turns a regular trivia night into a layered game where every team is playing two games at once — the quiz and the bingo. It keeps the energy high between rounds, adds a meta-game that gets everyone laughing, and makes even the losing team feel like they're winning at something.
This template includes 24 prompts that nail the universal pub quiz experience — from the inevitable 'someone's Googling' accusation to the last-second answer change that costs you the round. Every player gets a unique card.
How to run pub quiz bingo: Share the link with all participants at the start of the night. Players mark their bingo cards throughout the quiz as each moment occurs. Announce a separate prize for the first bingo winner — give them something small but fun, distinct from the quiz prize. The two games run in parallel without interfering with each other.
Perfect for quiz night organizers: If you run a regular pub quiz, introducing bingo adds a new dimension that keeps regulars engaged and gives newcomers an easy way to participate even if their general knowledge isn't strong. The bingo player who never wins at trivia might be the first to call bingo.
For teams and groups: Share the bingo link with your team before the quiz night. Playing bingo together adds another layer of team bonding alongside the competitive quiz format.
Virtual trivia nights: Pub quiz bingo works brilliantly for online trivia events — share the link in your video call and let players mark their cards throughout the virtual quiz.
Launch pub quiz bingo at your next trivia night and watch the atmosphere transform.
