It's totally up to you to take the reins and design the bingo game of your dreams. You're in charge of scheduling a time when everyone will gather on FaceTime or Zoom to play, and of deciding what the prizes will be, if there are prizes involved. Here are 15 virtual bingo game ideas that'll be total winners to get you started.
1. Have You Ever...
First up, turn 'Never Have I Ever' into a bingo game with 'Have You Ever...'. In each box, write something that people may have done such as gone skydiving, been on a blind date, or attended a red carpet event. Whoever has done that item gets to cross it off. (Pro tip: There are a ton of templates on Pinterest for this one!)
2. Just College Student Things
Are you having a virtual happy hour with your college besties? If so, jot down a bunch of items that only college students have done, will understand, and be able to cross off in each of those bingo boxes. Include items like: showed up late for a morning class, couldn't find a parking space on campus, and joined an ultimate frisbee league. It'll give you a chance to relive some mems.
3. Welcome To The '90s
Where are the '90s kids at? This version of bingo is for you. It's all about checking off what games, shows, and fashion-forward items you loved during your childhood. Everything from denim overalls, to butterfly clips, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will be included and re-appreciated with this game.
4. Would You Rather...
During your virtual happy hours, you may warm up the crowd with a game of 'Would You Rather.' That's well and good. But, have you considered turning this tried and true activity into a bingo board? Simply fill in the blank boxes with firm and bold choices like, 'I would rather lose my luggage than have a flight be delayed by eight hours.' Then, see where the conversation naturally goes.
5. Call Me A Travel Blogger
If your group has been around the world and back, then you'll want to opt for 'Call Me A Travel Blogger.' In this game, your bingo boxes are filled with items like 'My luggage has gotten lost,' and 'I've been to three different continents.' The more well-traveled you are, the better chance you have at winning.
6. The Secret's Out
Odds are, everyone in your group has a secret they would tell if given the chance. They'd admit they peed in your pool as a kid, or accidentally set up your best friend on a terrible blind date. Spill the tea with 'The Secret's Out' — a bingo game designed to get everyone on the same, hilarious page.
7. Well, That's Embarrassing
Have you ever done something so awkward that it still makes you cringe a little bit when you think about it? Have you and your best friend accidentally worn the same exact outfit? It's time for those embarrassing moments to shine. Jot down the moments that could've happened to people in your group like 'I thought I ran into a famous person, but I didn't.' Then, cringe together.
8. Been There, Marathon-Watched That
The movie and TV buffs in your group will have heart eyes for 'Been There, Marathon-Watched That.' They'll be checking off the boxes for Fleabag, Euphoria, and the latest movies from the Star Wars franchise. If you're one of them, you'll surely win this bingo game with ease.
9. Written In The Stars

Calling all astrology lovers. 'Written In The Stars' is for you. It's designed to have you take a closer look at your life, friendships, and relationships. Each box questions whether you've fallen in love with an Aries, or befriended a Virgo. Some can even speak to your star sign and say, 'Done spring cleaning like a Libra,' or 'Listened to oldies music like a Capricorn.'

10. Summer Lovin'
Daydreaming about summer is always a great idea. 'Summer Lovin' will help you get in a sun-kissed mindset, by having you and your friends check off items like 'Owns five beach towels,' or 'Has been to an island in the Caribbean.' Be prepared with sunscreen and a good book for afterwards, when you'll likely want to lay out in your backyard.
11. What's In Your Fridge?
Open up your fridge and pantry for this bingo game that's all about snacks and delicious food. Each box has a item you can find at the grocery store like apples, oranges, Oreos, or a can of beans. Everyone who has those items gets to cross of those boxes, and potentially say, 'Bingo!'
12. Get Ready With Me
For this bingo game, adorably called 'Get Ready With Me,' you have to browse through your makeup and beauty products. In your screen, you have to show off your brushes, palettes, or a jade roller you totally swear by. Then, you get to check off the boxes for them and give your recommendations to your BFFs or fam.
13. Will You Accept This Rose?
Are you a self-proclaimed member of Bachelor Nation? 'Will You Accept This Rose?' will challenge your knowledge, love, and insight about the show. Each box on your board will say something like, 'Watched the drama with Peter's mom live,' and 'Was rooting for Mike to be the next bachelor.' You can check off what applies to you.
14. That's Annoying AF
Everyone is annoyed by something, right? Whether it's the gum stuck under a picnic table or the way your roomie leaves dirty dishes in the sink — well, you could go on and on. Put anything you can think of that may be annoying in your bingo boxes, and see what your friends and family members say. You just may be surprised at their results.
15. Let's Break The Ice
Family Virtual World
Last but not least, if you're just trying to break the ice with a group of co-workers or even your friends during virtual happy hour, then play 'Let's Break The Ice.' Fill your bingo board with items like 'Just got married,' or 'Allergic to peanuts.' Let each person share their board when it's complete so you can get to know them better.
We’re all going through this trying time together right now. We’re relying on technology to communicate, so it’s important to be connected. We’ve been doing lots of virtual meet-ups, but just started virtual party games with friends and family last week. While we’re hosting online parties right now, it’s vital to make sure they’re FUN for everyone!
Virtual Party Games for You to Play
When it comes to meet-ups and parties, there’s ALWAYS games. It doesn’t matter if it’s a birthday party, anniversary party, graduation party – games a must. While everything has moved to online parties, we’ve got to rely on virtual party games. Games turn parties into a good time, whether it’s online or offline.
I know I’m writing this specifically for online parties, but if you’re looking for some virtual office party ideas for some virtual holiday party games or even for fun direct sales party games – these would be great, too!
What kinds of Virtual Party Games can you play? Well – in short? LOTS. In long? Before I list a bunch of virtual games out for you, I want to share with you some of my advice for hosting an online party that you’re going to be playing virtual party games at with people.
Online Parties: Pick a theme.
When you’re hosting an online party, it’s important to have a theme. It can be very helpful while putting together ideas for the party in terms of decor behind you, what you’re wearing during it and what kinds of games you’re going to be playing during it.
Whether you’re planning a little kid’s birthday party or a celebratory graduation or even a girl’s night in, GAMES are fun with a theme. Maybe it’s an 80’s theme. Maybe it’s a Disney theme. Maybe it’s an animal theme. Whatever it is – have some fun thinking about what kinds of fun you can have with it.
Online Parties: Guest list.
Since you’re hosting everything online, you need to make sure you have a solid guest list for your party. When you’re going to be playing virtual party games, you also want to make sure you have a fun set of family and/or friends with you. This is key as can be because this can (I have to say it could make or break your party).
Family Virtual Bingo Flyer
Your virtual party games will adjust to what kind of audience you have. If you’re hosting a kid party, the games will be on the easier side. If you’re hosting a party for adults, it could get really fun and daring. If you’re hosting a party with family and friends, the games should be very family-friendly oriented.

Online Parties: Virtual Party Games.
I’m excited to share with you some games that I’ve played online with family and friends throughout the last few weeks. I’ve also asked a few friends to see what kinds of games some of my friends have been playing, too. I just want to give you a solid “laundry” list of games that can be played.
Also – be creative – you can play many games that we all know and love online that we play at home. You just need to make sure whomever you’re playing with has that “designated” game, too.
Trivia Games – Have ONE person be the “Trivia” Guy or Girl and have questions for everyone. Answers are locked in via CHAT ROOM. What I love about a trivia game is that you can make this work for any age group.
Heads UP – This is a fun one to play! My advice? Download the game onto your phone and then play it with a large group. It’s chaos at its finest! We have loved playing this with cousins and even at night with some friends!
Secret Word Game – This is a fun one for all ages, too! Pick a secret word before your party begins and make sure all of your guests know what the word is before everything starts. Everyone then needs to be on “patrol”during the party, waiting to see if anyone uses it. The very first person to tell you each time gets a point, and the one who has the most points at the end of the party wins a prize.
20 Questions – Everyone has a chance at this one because all you need is to have a group of people that can ask questions. This is an old and fun game to play and the best part is that you can play with a large group. Great way for people to get to know each other better, too!
Pictionary – All you need is paper and a magic marker for this one! You just come up with something that you want to draw and have them guess away! I love this because (as you can see what I’m trying to do) is find games that work for all different ages here, too. Everything can be adulted up, too!
Door Prize Gaming – Everyone loves a prize! This is great for a larger group because each guest takes a number as they enter the chat room. Write down all the numbers and pop them in a bag or hat. Throughout the chat pull a number and the person whose name corresponds with the number pulled wins a prize.
Alphabet Soup – We love playing this one with our families when we’re all on ZOOM! You start with the letter A and pick a category. Everyone goes around the “room” (but really party) all sharing what a word with the designated category and letter. This can get really fun, especially when you start seeing how fast you can go!
Make More Words – Take a BIG word and have each guest try to see how many words they can make from the letters. You can come up with a theme for this, too! Make sure you have a time limit to this party game. At the end of the time limit, have them tell you how many words they found. The guest who got the most words must type in their answers.
BINGO – This is an oldie, but a goodie! The best part is that this classic game can be played miles away from each other online! You just need to make sure one person doesn’t mind being the BINGO caller! This has always been a fun game for people of all ages!
Card’s Against Humanity – You need to make sure you have the right crowd for this one, although there is also a family-friendly version you can download online. You can do the online versionand have some fun with it, too. You can print it out for free, too!
There are more games you can have some fun with while coming up with virtual party games ideas, I hope these get you excited and ready for your next party! It’s time to make sure we all have some good times while we’re at home. Connecting is a fun way to feel “normal,” but it’s also a fun time to PLAY SOME GAMES, too!
Make sure you bookmark this post when you’re looking for virtual office party ideas and virtual holiday party games, even for fun direct sales party games! So much fun for all of these when it comes to virtual party games!
