What is BINGOLINE?
BINGOLINE is a free multiplayer tactical Bingo browser game. 2–4 players take turns calling numbers 1–25; every called number is marked on everyone's board. First to five lines wins.
How do I create or join a game?
Press Create Game on the home page and share the room code or invite link. To join, press Join Game and enter the code your friend shared. Everyone readies up and the host presses Start.
How many players can play?
2–4 players per room. You can also play Practice vs a bot, and the host can add bots to fill a lobby.
How do I create my own board pattern?
Open My Drafts, press Create Draft, arrange numbers 1–25 (each exactly once) by tapping two cells to swap them, save it, then select it in the lobby before a match. You can keep up to 3 drafts.
Can I use the same pattern every game?
Yes. Select your draft in the lobby each match — or set it as your automatic Default Board in Settings and it will be pre-selected whenever you enter a room. You can always change it before the match starts.
Can I change my board after the game starts?
No. Boards lock the moment the match starts and stay locked until the match ends. This is enforced by the server so every game is fair.
What happens if I use the default board?
You play the simple 1–25 arrangement in order. It works fine, but it is predictable, so opponents may read your threats more easily. A custom pattern gives you more ways to shape your lines.
How does Power Mode work?
Every completed line earns a letter of B-I-N-G-O, and each letter offers a choice of two power-ups: Eraser, Peek, Freeze, Snipe or Shuffle. You hold one at a time and fire it on your own turn. Classic Mode skips powers for pure line racing.
Can I play against a bot?
Yes. Choose Practice vs bot on the home page for a quick 1v1 against a bot, or ask the host to add bots to any lobby. Bots play on their own boards with the same rules.
What happens if I disconnect?
Your seat is held for 40 seconds while you reconnect — just reopen the room link. If you don't return, the host's policy applies: a bot takes your turns, or the match ends.
Do I need an account to play?
No. You play as an anonymous guest with a random id stored in your browser, so you can reconnect after a refresh. Clearing your browser storage resets it.
Is BINGOLINE free?
Yes — completely free, no account and no download. Just open it in your browser and play.
