Drag Bingo Rules: How to Play

Never played bingo before? Do not worry, the rules are simple and our drag queen host will guide you through every round. Here is everything you need to know before you play.

The Basics

01

Get Your Card

When you arrive, you will receive one or more bingo cards. Each card has 15 numbers arranged in a 3-row by 9-column grid. Some columns may be empty, that is normal. Keep your card safe throughout the show.

02

Listen for Numbers

Our drag queen host will call out random numbers between 1 and 90. Numbers are called one at a time with plenty of camp commentary, jokes and audience banter between them.

03

Mark Your Card

When a called number appears on your card, mark it. You can use the provided dabber pen, a regular pen, or anything you have handy. Mark clearly so the host can verify your card if you win.

04

Shout BINGO!

The first player to complete a full row of 5 marked numbers must shout "BINGO!" as loudly as possible. The drag queen will stop the game and verify your card. If valid, you win the round prize.

05

Collect Your Prize

Winners receive cash prizes up to £200 per round. Prizes are paid on the night. After the round, a new game begins with fresh cards.
