Getting started with Big Day Bingo
The whole journey in eight steps - from your first sign in to running a game for a room full of guests.
What you need
- •A phone, tablet or laptop to set things up
- •Guests just need their own phones
How the host controls it
- •Your dashboard is home base
- •Each event is set up once and reused
- •You can test an event before the real one
Who it suits
Everyone. Start here if you have never run an event on Big Day Bingo.
How guests join
Guests only ever need the QR code and a phone. Nothing to install and no account to create.
How you win
Not a game - this is the way in.
How it ends
Nothing to end. Once your first event is running you will know your way round.
You do not have to do this in one sitting. The setup wizard remembers where you got to.
Run one full rehearsal. It takes ten minutes and finds every problem before your guests do.

- 55. Configure the gameSet the win condition, the music, the length of the clips and anything else that shapes how it plays.

Common problems
You are not sure what your account includes
Everything you have access to appears on the Dashboard and Games pages. If a game is not there, it is not switched on for your account - ask your admin or contact support.
