Airport Bingo

July 26, 2010 in Games | 12 comments

Stuck in an airport departure lounge with nothing to do? Why not play Airport Bingo! Fill out a complete row, and you’ll win… slightly less boredom!

I realize that this is quite a challenge, but I will be incredibly impressed if anyone can actually send me photos which prove that they have ‘won’ departure lounge bingo. I will give you a prize. I’m not sure what that prize is yet, but it will be good.

    This actually looks doable to me. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    Very clever, Ryan!

    Thanks, Cathy! I hope someone will actually try to ‘win’ at airport bingo.

    Hi Ryan, haha very creative and interesting game. You could also do one for inside an aircraft.

    Thanks, David – I’m planning to do a series of these, perhaps even as contests. The first one of these I did was ‘High School Reunion’ bingo, and it certainly made the event more interesting… though I still wasn’t able to get a full row.

    It seems like it’s a fun game to kill some boring time at the airport. I might actually try it on my next layover. lol… this is really cool!

    I hope you do – I’d really like to post a follow-up as to whether anyone’s actually succeeded at ‘Airport Bingo’.

    This is BRILLIANT!

    I occasionally think about creating “Crazy stuff my family members say” bingo for holiday travel. :) Glad to see that great minds think alike!

    Thanks! This was based loosely off a game of ‘High School Reunion bingo’ I played about a year ago – http://bit.ly/c0h8xF – we printed up cards and everything. I came close to getting a full row, but could never get that last square.

    I hope you do write up a ‘Crazy Stuff my Family Says’ bingo – it would be a good read.

    Righto, Ryan, I’m off to the airport with departure lounge bingo at the ready. All eyes down for Twilight readers, 3 in a row…

    Good luck, Zoey! Hope you get it – if you do, there’s an as-yet-undetermined prize!

    Hilarious! My aim in life is to fly in my pyjamas someday, much better than by the seat of your pants any day.

    Airport bingo is a good catch when you are stuck at the airport or if you are alone and trying to spend some time with entertainment. I have played this many times , while getting stuck to airport.
