Travel Bingo: make the whole trip a game.

Bingo cards and scavenger hunts that turn every square, museum and bus ride on your tour into a game. Travelers stamp each square with a photo, a video or a line, teams race on a live scoreboard, and when it's over, the finale plays on every phone.

How it works

From the first square to the finale

The leader sets it up in a minute; the travelers play all day, or all tour, on their own phones. Here's how a game goes.

  1. 01

    Pick a game, or make one

    Start from a ready-made game for your cities, or write your own: a 3 × 3, 4 × 4 or 5 × 5 card, or a list for a scavenger hunt. Choose when it starts and when it ends.

  2. 02

    Play solo, or in teams

    Everyone for themselves, or two to six teams. Shuffle deals the group out at random; move anyone, rename the teams.

  3. 03

    Tick a square, prove it

    Travelers tap a square once they've done it. A photo, a video or a line about it earns one more point, and a square can ask for one.

  4. 04

    BINGO, and keep going

    Every line is +5 and a full card +15, and the game goes on until the leader ends it. Teams watch their score climb, live.

  5. 05

    The finale, on every phone

    The leader sends the results. Every player gets a notification and watches the awards on their own phone, then keeps their badges.

Tour moments

A bingo card of the trip itself.

Not every card sends travelers looking for sights. Tour moments is a card of firsts and feelings, written by a teacher for her own students: the first stamp in your passport, ordering in another language, the No Thank You bite, the moment you can't believe you're seeing it in real life. It lasts the whole tour, you tick a square when it's true, and the line you add is what the group remembers. On the last night, the story everyone loved is crowned.

Built for a school group

Fun first, and still a school trip.

Travel Bingo gets travelers looking up, talking to people and trying new things, with the guardrails a group leader wants.

Squares that ask for proof

A square can ask for a photo, a video or a typed answer, so “I saw it” becomes “here it is.” The rest earn a bonus point for one.

Everyone sees the answers

Every photo, video and answer is shared with the players, square by square. An answer square stays locked until you've answered it, and a leader can take a square back.

A live team scoreboard

Each player's points add up for their team. Who's on which team, every team's squares and lines, and who's in the lead, all updating as the stamps land.

Awards worth playing for

Storyteller, Most squares, First BINGO, Full card club, the Fan favorite story the group picks, and the Travel Bingo champion or the winning team.

A finale on every phone

No projector, no hotel TV: the results play on each traveler's own phone, with “That's you!” for every winner and their badges at the end.

Safety in the squares

Stay with your group. No photos at security. Always ask before photographing people. The ready-made games are written for a school tour.

Ready-made games

A game for every part of the trip

Start from one of these and make it yours: change the name, the squares, the size and when it ends. Or start from a blank card.

Questions leaders ask

Before you play

Who plays?

The travelers on the tour, each on their own phone. The group leader and chaperones can play along when a game lets adults join; the awards go to travelers only.

Who makes the games?

The group leader, a chaperone with Admin Functions in PassportsGo, or the group's Tour Director. Start from a ready-made game or a blank card, and change anything.

Can travelers see each other's photos?

Yes, and that's half the fun: everyone playing sees everyone's photos, videos and answers, square by square. There's no review step; a leader can take a square back if it doesn't count.

Do parents see it?

No. Travel Bingo is for the people on the tour, and its photos stay in the game. Parents keep following the trip in PassportsGo as usual.

How does the finale work?

When the game is over, the leader can crown the group's favorite story, then send the results. Everyone on the tour gets a notification, and each player watches the totals, the awards and their own badges on their phone, at their own pace.

What does it cost?

Nothing extra. Travel Bingo is part of PassportsGo, the travel app that comes free with every Passports tour, on iOS, Android and the web.
