// How it works
Three steps to a better meeting
Pick a pack, get a card
Satirical phrase packs for meetings, video calls, all-hands and more — or paste your own list. Every card is randomized and printable.
Mark squares as they happen
Someone says "let's circle back"? Stamp it. First to a full row, column or diagonal wins. Fill the whole card and you have officially survived the meeting.
Print cards or share a link
Print distinct cards for the room, or copy one link so everyone in the video call plays the exact same card. Brag responsibly.
Running it live
- Same card for everyone: hit "Copy share link" — everyone who opens it gets an identical card, so the first BINGO is fair.
- Different cards: everyone mashes "New card" instead — more chaos, fair enough.
- Appoint a caller: print the call sheet, hand it to the one person who actually reads the agenda.
- Punch up, not down: the squares roast the jargon, never the people. That's the whole etiquette section.

A brief history of yelling BINGO at your boss
Buzzword bingo was invented by fed-up Silicon Valley engineers in the early 1990s and popularized by the Dilbert comic strip in 1994, where an entire meeting plays it in silence. The rules have not changed in thirty years: someone says the buzzword, you mark the square, and the first person to complete a line gets to keep a little of their sanity.
What has changed is the venue. The classic game needed a paper card and a pen; the modern meeting happens on a video call, the jargon now includes AI vocabulary nobody can define, and the card can live in a browser tab next to your actual work. Corporate Bingo is the classic game rebuilt for the modern meeting: the same core loop, new squares, cards you can print for the room or share as a link with everyone on the call.
Why it works
- Satire is a second channel. While the meeting discusses the roadmap, the card quietly documents what is actually happening.
- Marking a square is a micro-rebellion. It is the office equivalent of a crossword — enough engagement to stay awake, not enough to get fired.
- Shared games make distributed teams feel like a room again. Everyone on the call, same card, same silence when someone says “synergy”.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is corporate bingo?
Corporate bingo (also called buzzword bingo or meeting bingo) is a party game you play during meetings. Everyone gets a card filled with phrases likely to occur — “circling back”, “you’re on mute”, “synergy” — and marks a square whenever one happens in real life. First to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts BINGO. Blackout means the meeting was very, very long.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ads, no sign-up, no watermark on the printed cards, and no “Pro” tier hiding the print button. Generate, print, share — the cards are yours.
How do I print cards for my whole team?
Pick a pack, set the card title, then use Bulk set → Print set. You get up to 30 distinct cards, two per page, plus a call sheet listing every phrase so a caller can read them out. Hand them out before the meeting starts.
Can we play together on a video call?
Two ways. Same card for everyone: hit “Copy share link” and paste it into the meeting chat — everyone who opens it gets an identical card, so the first BINGO is fair. Different cards: everyone mashes “New card” instead — more chaos, also fun.
Can I use my own phrases?
Yes — pick the Your list pack and paste your phrases one per line: inside jokes, project codenames, recurring calendar horrors, or your family group chat. Everything stays in your browser.
What is “Today’s board”?
A daily seeded card: the same board for everyone on that day, resetting at midnight UTC. It is the office-wide default — no one has to decide anything before the meeting.
Do you track anything?
No. The whole site runs in your browser. Your custom lists live in your browser’s local storage and are never uploaded anywhere. There is no account, no analytics, no cookies.
Is this HR-approved?
Almost certainly not. That is rather the point. One rule keeps it safe: the squares roast the jargon and the format, never the people. Punch up at the buzzwords, not at your colleagues.
