Meet the Games: Singo, Music Match, Live Trivia & Pub Poll
1. Singo: Music Bingo with a Twist
What It Is
Singo combines the excitement of bingo with your favorite tunes. Instead of numbers, you’ll mark off song titles or artists as the host plays music clips. Complete the winning pattern—line, corners, or blackout—and shout “Singo!” for a chance to win.
Why People Love It
- No Trivia Expertise Required: You just need an ear for music.
- Upbeat Atmosphere: Participants often start singing along or dancing in their seats.
- Wide Musical Range: From classic rock hits to top-40 pop, Singo playlists cater to all tastes.
2. Music Match: For the Dedicated Music Buff
What It Is
Music Match is like a quiz night dedicated entirely to tunes. You might be asked to name a track after a short clip, recall obscure lyrics, or guess the band based on fun facts.
Why People Love It
- Music-Focused Trivia: Perfect for those who pride themselves on recognizing songs within the first few chords.
- Competitive Edge: There’s nothing like the rush of knowing that random 90s one-hit-wonder lyric before anyone else.
- Discovery: You might leave with a new favorite artist or song to add to your playlist.
3. Live Trivia: The Classic Bar Game
What It Is
Live Trivia tests your knowledge on an array of topics—sports, pop culture, history, science, you name it. You can play solo or form a team and compete for top scores.
Why People Love It
- Variety: The questions are wide-ranging, so everyone has a chance to shine.
- Team Building: Ideal for groups of friends, coworkers, or even families looking to bond.
- Mental Workout: It’s entertainment and a brain booster, all in one.
4. Pub Poll: Survey Says…
What It Is
Inspired by classic TV game shows, Pub Poll has you guess the most popular responses to everyday questions. Instead of finding a single right answer, you’re aiming to match what a group of people answered on a survey.
Why People Love It
- No “Wrong” Answers: It’s about thinking like the majority, not necessarily about knowledge or skill.
- Interactive & Hilarious: Debates among team members can lead to big laughs.
- Fast-Paced Fun: Quick rounds keep the energy up throughout the night.
(Note: Not all venues feature all four games each week. Check local schedules to see which game is happening near you.)

With SINGO Music Bingo, instead of listening for numbers to be called, you’re listening to your favorite music and matching the tunes to your SINGO game card. Go ahead and sing along! SINGO is fun for everyone, and if you can’t remember the song title, just ask your neighbor.
With Pub Poll, you’re rewarded for knowing what the most popular answer is, not necessarily what the correct answer is! Every week, players from around the country are surveyed and their answers are compiled for a six-round game. Go ahead and cheat all you like. Use your phone, consult Google, call your mom … Pub Poll isn’t about what you know, it’s about what you think others know.
Grab your Bingo cards and hold on to your hat; you’re in for a wild ride. Ballistic Bingo pairs traditional Bingo with spontaneous activities featuring anything from bar limbo and trash-can basketball to picture drawing, dart throwing, scavenger hunting, the newlywed/friend game or anything else your host can think of!
Music Match is a one of a kind trivia game that combines elements of all your favorite musical genres. Our Jockeys will get the crowd going as they play music that everyone will love...but there's a catch! Each song will only be played for a moment as your guests do their best to remember the details about those hits. This team based game will have guests working together and jamming out at the same time.
