    Create your bingo cards . Instead of having "BINGO" at the top of the cards, substitute it with "DRINK" or "BOOZE". Make it creative. Position the "FREE" space in the center of the board, two rows down from the third letter.
  2. You might think of things about the environment, drinks, events that happen, items found in a bar, etc. Make it unique and fun as possible.

    It's up to you to use the same keywords on every card or have different cards say other terms. This is useful when lots of terms are built up or allow people to have the opportunity to find different things from others.

    Distribute the cards out before everyone leaves. Make sure that everyone has enough time so that they know what they're looking for beforehand.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/08\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/08\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-5.jpg\/aid2511221-v4-728px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Make sure to tell them that in order to claim a keyword, they need to take a picture of it on their phone in the bar. Without a valid picture, the item on the board does not count.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cb\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cb\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-6.jpg\/aid2511221-v4-728px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    You can have everyone go out for an hour or two, just enough to speculate and enjoy themselves or bar hop. Call or text another party when cards are completed before the time limit is up.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cf\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/cf\/Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-7.jpg\/aid2511221-v4-728px-Play-Bar-Bingo-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Once a person's card is completely blacked out first, then a winner can be declared. Depending on the complexity of the keywords, people can complete a standard Bingo row or column (up, down, or diagonal).
