Whether you’re hosting a haunted house party, a classroom celebration, or a virtual gathering, this game adds a playful twist to the eerie season.

So, how do you play Halloween Songs Bingo? We've got you covered with some creative game variations that will have your guests howling with delight.

How to play Halloween songs bingo

This is is your traditional bingo setup with a Halloween twist. Here’s how to play:

1. Create your bingo cards: Fill them with spooky song titles like “Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” or “Ghostbusters.” Each card should be different, so no one can predict what’s coming next.
2. Set up your playlist: Make sure you have all the songs from your bingo cards on a playlist. Shuffle it to keep everyone on their toes.
3. Play the songs: As the music plays, participants mark off the songs they hear on their cards.
4. Call “Bingo!”: The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal shouts “Bingo!” and wins a Halloween-themed prize.

Pro Tip: If you want to keep the suspense, play just a snippet of each song. This way, players have to really know their Halloween tunes to win.

Alternative ways to play Halloween bingo

1. Halloween song lyric bingo

Put your partygoers’ lyrical knowledge to the test. Instead of song titles, use iconic lyrics from Halloween hits. For example:

• “I was working in the lab late one night...”
• “It’s close to midnight, and something evil’s lurking in the dark...”
• “Who you gonna call?”

Play the songs and have players listen for the specific lyrics. When they hear them, they mark them off. This version is perfect for music buffs who know their creepy classics inside out.

2. Name that scare tune

Turn your bingo night into a mini “Name That Tune” competition:

1. Shorten the playlist: Use a list of around 20 popular Halloween songs.
2. Play a few seconds of each song’s intro.
3. Players then have to identify the song and find it on their card.

This version works well for smaller groups and keeps the energy high, as everyone tries to be the first to shout out the song title.

3. Virtual Halloween songs bingo

Hosting your Halloween bash online? No problem! Halloween Songs Bingo works great virtually too:

1. Send out digital bingo cards ahead of time. Bingo Card Creator offers customizable options that you can email directly to your guests.
2. Stream your playlist over a video call. Share your screen and audio so everyone can hear the songs clearly.
3. Players can mark their cards digitally or print them out and play along from home.

This is a fun way to stay connected, even when you’re miles apart.

Virtual game tips
