Buzzword Bingo

Survive your next meeting. Mark a square every time someone says it. Five in a row wins (quietly).

How to play buzzword bingo

  1. Give everyone in the meeting their own card. Click New Card for each player and send them the link.
  2. When someone says a word or phrase on your card, tap the square.
  3. Five in a row (across, down or diagonal) wins. The center square is free, because someone is always on mute.
  4. Announce your victory by unmuting and saying, “Just to piggyback on that…”

Frequently asked questions

What is buzzword bingo?

Buzzword bingo is a game played during meetings: each player gets a card of corporate buzzwords and marks a square each time someone says one. Five in a row wins. Yelling "bingo" is optional and career-limiting.

How do I play meeting bingo on Zoom?

Send everyone a different card link before the call. Each card has its own URL, so you can all play on your phones. The first person to get five in a row unmutes and says "I have a quick question."

Can I print bingo cards?

Yes. Click Print Card and you will get a clean black-and-white card with no ads. Generate as many as you need for the whole team.
