Singo: Bingo Meets the Soundtrack of Your Life

What Is Singo?

You’ve likely heard of bingo, but have you tried Singo? Think of it as a mash-up of classic bingo and your favorite tunes. Instead of numbers, you’re listening for song titles or artists. Our game hosts play a clip of a song, and if it matches one on your Singo card, you mark it off. Shout “Singo!” when you’ve hit the required pattern (usually a line, column, or full card)—and you could walk away with a prize.

Why Singo?

• No Expertise Required: You don’t have to memorize obscure facts. As long as you can recognize popular songs, you’re in the game.
• Wide Music Selection: We feature diverse music themes—everything from 80s rock anthems to modern pop hits.
• Sing-Along Atmosphere: Because these are songs you know and love, you’ll see heads bobbing, feet tapping, and groups breaking into spontaneous karaoke.

Perfect for:

• Casual music fans who want a laid-back competition.
• Groups that love singing or dancing along to familiar tunes.
• Anyone seeking a lighthearted, high-energy alternative to traditional trivia.

Music Match: Test Your Knowledge of the Hits

The Game Mechanics

If you’re the type of person who always knows the name of the song playing on the radio—or you fancy yourself a Shazam champion—Music Match is calling your name. This game challenges your musical knowledge through questions and audio clips. You might be asked to identify a melody, name the artist, or recall which movie soundtrack a particular track belongs to.

Why Music Match?

• Musical Variety: You’ll hear everything from classic rock ballads to recent top 40 singles.
• Competitive Edge: Questions range from easy (top hits) to tricky (deep cuts), so it’s perfect for all skill levels.
• Discover New Favorites: You might leave with a few new tunes stuck in your head.

Ideal for:

• Hardcore music aficionados and casual fans alike.
• People looking to expand their musical horizons.
• Those who enjoy a bit more challenge than Singo but still love a music-centered game.

Live Trivia: The Classic Crowd Pleaser

How It Works

Live Trivia is the game-night staple that never goes out of style. Our trivia nights typically feature multiple rounds of questions, covering everything from sports and pop culture to geography and history. Bring your friends to form a team, pool your collective knowledge, and vie for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Why Live Trivia?

• Wide-Ranging Topics: If you’re a jack-of-all-trades with random facts galore, you’ll shine here.
• Team Building: Group dynamics and collaboration make the game more engaging. You’ll get that “we’re in this together” feeling as you debate answers.
• Bragging Rights: Few feelings top being the resident know-it-all who seals the win for your team.

Perfect for:

• Trivia buffs who love challenging their knowledge base.
• Friends, family members, or co-workers looking to bond over a shared goal.
• Anyone who appreciates classic bar quizzes and a friendly dose of competition.

Pub Poll: Your Friendly Feud-Style Game

Gameplay Basics

Ever watched a certain family-friendly feud show on TV and thought, “I could crush this”? Pub Poll is your chance to prove it. Instead of traditional quiz questions, you’re asked to guess the most common answers to prompts surveyed from a group of people. For instance, “Name a drink you’d have at a summer BBQ,” or “Name a gift people give teachers.” It’s less about knowing the “correct” answer and more about predicting what the majority said.

Why Pub Poll?

• Social Interaction: Brainstorming the most popular responses can lead to hilarious discussions.
• Easy to Play: You don’t need a specialized knowledge base—just think like a typical person.
• High-Energy: The reveal of which answers were most popular is always entertaining.

Great for:

• Groups that enjoy quick-thinking, improv-style fun.
• Anyone who might find trivia too challenging—this is more about psychology and common sense.
• People who love “Family Feud” and want to experience something similar in real life.
