Click a square when it happens. Line, then blackout. The meeting continues regardless.
// 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.

The all-hands, gamified
The all-hands follows a script so stable it could be printed in the calendar invite: exciting news, welcome to the new hires, anonymous survey results, a hybrid policy update, and a celebration of some kind involving pizza. This pack turns the script into squares. When the RTO update lands in the first five minutes, the card has, in a sense, already won.
A note on tone
- The pack mocks the format — the mandatory fun, the swag, the phrasing — never the people reading it.
- Play silently; the game is a stress ball, not a heckle.
- If morale is genuinely low, play for the pizza square only and order actual pizza afterwards. Bingo should never be the only thing on the menu.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it disrespectful to play during the CEO’s town hall?
Played quietly and in the spirit of affection, it is a stress ball with squares. The pack teases the format of corporate communication, which every leader on stage has also privately enjoyed mocking at some point.
What’s in the pack?
Thirty-eight squares drawn from the universal all-hands script: “we’re like a family here”, “we heard your feedback”, pizza parties, swag drops, return-to-office updates and the shout-outs segment.
Can we add our own company traditions?
Yes — Your list takes any phrases, one per line. Every company has a square that only its employees would recognize; that square is usually worth two.
Does it work for remote all-hands?
Yes — copy the share link into the broadcast chat. Everyone watches the same stream and marks the same card, wherever they are.
