Human Scavenger Hunt / BINGO

Purpose. Combines the fun of bingo with genuine networking across the room.

When to use. In the first 15 minutes of a session, once names are known and the group is settling in.

Best for. Any group size, in person.

• Prepare a bingo-style grid in advance, each square containing a different personal-fact prompt. See Trainer's Reference below for example prompts.

Room setup. Enough open space for participants to mingle freely.

Virtual setup. Adapt to a shared document grid where participants add their name to squares that describe them.

Hybrid setup. Give remote participants the same shared document while in-room participants use paper grids.

Materials. Bingo-style worksheet

1. Prepare a bingo-style grid in advance, each square containing a different personal-fact prompt (see Trainer's Reference below for example prompts).
2. Give each participant a copy of the grid and a pen.
3. Explain the challenge: mingle and find someone who matches each square, then get their signature in that box.
4. The first person to fill a full line, across, down, or diagonal, calls out “Bingo!”
5. Optionally, keep going until someone fills the entire card.

Learning outcome. Participants leave having mingled widely across the room, with a bit of friendly competition along the way.
