Corporate Music Bingo for Company Social Events
Bring colleagues together with Bingo Bongo, a music bingo event for company socials, sports and social groups, and corporate parties. Songs replace traditional number calling: players mark their cards through themed music rounds and compete for wins. We discuss the rounds, prizes and equipment when planning your event.

How does Bingo Bongo work?
Usually, the event has four games of around 20 minutes each. Between games, there is a ten-minute break. Together, these rounds make up a two-hour activity programme.
During each game, we look for four wins. First, a player marks any five songs on their card. Next, players aim for one horizontal line, followed by two of the three lines. Finally, a full house means marking all three lines and every song on the card.
The same pattern applies to the next three rounds. As a result, the four-game format has 16 wins across the event. Typically, a player wins around every five minutes.
Prize options
Choose a prize format that suits your group and budget. For example, the options include:
- 16 small or novelty prizes, with one for each win
- 12 small prizes and four larger prizes for the full-house winners
- Four full-house prizes, plus a final draw for one larger prize among all 16 wins
- One prize in a final draw for everyone who records a win
Alternatively, the game can run with one, two or three rounds. In that case, we organise the prize arrangements around the shorter format.
