Remote Team Bingo

Bring distributed teams together with a bingo game designed for video calls and chat.

Free to start — create an account and we'll copy this template into it.

Remote teams miss out on the small, spontaneous chats that happen naturally in an office, so connection needs a bit more structure. This bingo card is built for video calls and team chat channels, giving colleagues a reason to share something personal or funny about their remote setup.

How to run this activity

Share the card digitally before a team call or async in your team chat channel. Ask people to mark squares by sharing a photo, comment or quick story that matches each one. Set a deadline, such as the end of the week, and celebrate completed cards during your next team meeting. Keep it light and optional so nobody feels pressured to overshare.

Frequently asked questions

Squares are matched through chat messages, shared photos, or quick mentions during video calls rather than face-to-face conversation. It works well as an ongoing activity across a week rather than a single live session.

A shared spreadsheet or a dedicated channel in your team chat tool works well for tracking who has completed which squares. Some teams use a simple shared document that anyone can tick off.
