# [Bingo Passes: Build Your Own Bingo Card in Experience Builder](https://product.bandwango.com/updates/bingo-passes-build-your-own-bingo-card-in-experience-builder)

**Turn your pass into a game of bingo.** Bingo Passes give every passholder their own card of places or themes to check off, with prizes for each bingo and a bigger one for filling the whole card. And you can now build one yourself in Experience Builder.

A regular pass asks visitors to check off a list. A Bingo Pass asks them to plan a route. Each square is a place or a theme, every check-in marks a square, and five in a row earns a prize. It's simple to understand and hard to put down.

## What you can do

- **Size the card.** Choose a 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 card, add an optional free middle square, and swap the word across the top for your own (up to 10 letters, like SWINGO).
- **Squares as places or themes.** In Places mode, each square is one place. In Categories mode, each square is a theme, like "Breweries" or "Sunset view," and checking in at any matching place marks it off. Show category squares as names or as images.
- **A different card for everyone.** Each passholder gets their own shuffled card, so no two people chase the same route.
- **Squares with a schedule.** Give a category active or blackout dates, so a "Festival day" square is only available that weekend.
- **Prizes for every milestone.** Reward bingos and a full-card blackout. Points are optional, and passholders can see the prizes waiting for them in their Rewards tab from day one.
- **Check-ins you can trust.** Squares use the same check-in validation as your other gamified passes: GPS, PIN, QR code or quiz.

> **Why it matters:** Filling a card means visiting a lot of different places, not just the most popular one. Bingo spreads visits across your destination and gives people a reason to come back until the card is done.

## How to get started

1. Create a new pass and choose **Bingo**.
2. Add your check-in activities. You'll need at least enough to fill the card (for a 5×5 card with a free square, that's 24).
3. On **Bingo Card**, pick the size, the free square, your header word and Places or Categories mode.
4. On **Prizes**, choose the bingo and blackout prizes.
5. Publish. The builder's checklist flags anything missing first, like a place without a category.

**Tip:** Categories mode works best with themes that have several matching places, so passholders have options for every square.

**Find it:** Passes › New pass › Bingo
