✦ Why it works

Different cards, no server.

Most bingo generators give everybody who opens the link the identical card, which ruins it: the whole point is that you are watching for different phrases and somebody else wins on something you did not have.

This gets round that without an account or a lobby. Your card comes from the link plus the name you type, so two people on the same link hold genuinely different cards, and your own card survives a refresh instead of reshuffling and losing your marks.

✦ Worth knowing

A claim anybody can check.

There is no server keeping score, so a win is social: you say you have it and everybody groans. The problem with that is usually that nobody can verify it.

Here they can. Because a card is generated from the link and the name, anyone can open the same link, type your name, and see the exact card you were playing. That is the one thing this version does that the other fifty do not, and it is why the claim comes with a line you can paste straight into the chat.

✦ How to play

Three steps, and none of them is signing up.

1
Pick a pack and share

Corporate for meeting language, video call for the first four minutes of any remote call. Copy the link into the invite or the group chat.

2
Everybody types a name

That is what makes the cards differ. It stays in their browser and never goes into the shared link.

3
Mark them as they happen

The centre square is free. Five in a row wins, and the card gives you a line to paste as proof.

✦ Questions

Buzzword bingo, answered.

No, and that is the point. The card is built from the shared link plus the name you type, so everybody on the same link gets a different arrangement drawn from the same phrase list. Two people who type the same name would get the same card, which is worth knowing if your team has two Sams.
No. The card is derived rather than randomly generated, so the same link and the same name always rebuild the same 25 squares. Your marks are kept in your own browser too, so a refresh mid-meeting costs you nothing.
The centre is marked from the start, which is traditional and also merciful. It means the middle row, the middle column and both diagonals only need four real phrases rather than five.
Yes. When you complete a line the card gives you a claim to copy, naming you, the line and the shared code. Anyone can open that code, type your name and regenerate your exact card to check it.
Nothing at all. There is no room and no account for this one. The link carries the code, your browser holds your name and your marks, and none of it is ever sent anywhere.

The game is free forever.
The rest of it is the hard part.

EvyOS holds the goals, projects and tasks the team goes back to once the game is over.
