Meeting
Bingo
Eyes down for "circle back"
Daub a square whenever it happens in your meeting. Five in a row and you win. Shout it, but unmute first.
How to play meeting bingo
- Get a card before the meeting starts. Everyone gets a different one. Send colleagues the link, or use "Share card" if you want the same card as someone.
- Daub a square when it happens. Somebody says "ideate". Someone is on mute. The dog barks. Tap it.
- Five in a row wins. Across, down or diagonal. The free space in the middle is already daubed, because it could have been an email.
- Practising? Switch to the bingo caller, who draws balls like a Saturday night at the bingo hall.
Every square is a phrase or behaviour you'll recognise from real meetings. If you hit a full house, the meeting was definitely pointless.
