Bigredboiler, who conducted this game last year, has passed it on to me. I’ve made a few minor changes, so be sure to check the description below.

This year’s Bingo will start on January 1, so you need to get a BINGO card before then if you want to play the first round.

Basic premise: You can claim a Bingo spot on or after the day that “thing” is called

• Daily (starting Jan 1) I will announce the proverbial “bingo number” to the forum (which will actually be an object/thing)
• If a player finds and photographs the “thing” on their ride that day (or a future day), they mark that spot on their Bingo card
• You can only claim one spot per day
• First player to find 5 things making “BINGO” wins

How to you get your BINGO card?
Option #1: Generate your own & post to this thread to share –> Click this link and then the “Generate Card” button that you will see on that page…the result will be the URL to your BINGO card.
Option #2: I will generate a card/URL for you and share to this thread & the Google Sheet for tracking the game. Just post asking me for a URL and then check the forum/Google Sheet for your URL.

You can check the Google Sheet I’ll use for tracking to confirm I have your valid URL reported for your card.

Key additional info (and I’ll probably add more later to clarify based on questions I get):

• You must post the URL of your unique Bingo card to this thread (I will add everyone’s card to the Google sheet)
• You must post the photo of the object taken during your ride to this thread
• You must include the photo in your Strava ride for the day and #Bingo in your ride title
• First person to announce BINGO to this thread (and I verify their entries) wins
• If the game ends quickly, I’ll do another round (we’ll see how it goes)

Other thoughts:

• I plan to post the day’s Bingo# the prior evening
• Most objects are likely self-explanatory, and I will provide a little more detail with each day’s announcement. Also feel free to message me if you have questions.
• There are 75 objects/items in total and 25 are randomly selected for each player’s Bingo card
• Here is the link to the Google sheet I’ll use to track what’s been called, and everyone’s card
• If you win, I’ll verify you submitted valid photos on the right day when item was called
• If you want to cheat and ruin the fun for everyone, I’m sure you can.
• Prize will likely be a gift card of some kind

Have fun and let me know any questions!

It’s my first year. I read the post, still a little confused. How do I get a url, and once I get it; what do I do with it?

To get the URL, you go to https://bingobaker.com/#657aacf7eb03d5af and click on “Generate card.” That will take you to a page with a Bingo card. Bookmark that page and then copy the URL. Then come back here and paste the URL into a reply to this post.

That’s all you need to do for now.

In January, I will start announcing an item each day. For example, suppose I announce “Bird.” You would go back to your Bingo card and see whether “Bird” was one of the things on it. If so, you could bike somewhere, take a picture of a bird, and post it here. You could then click the square with Bird on your Bingo card, which will put an X on that square.

You win if you manage to get five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), and announce it here before anyone else manages to do that.

Can you please try again? The URL you initially go to is https://bingobaker.com/#657aacf7eb03d5af. You need to click on the Generate Card button on that page and copy and paste the URL that comes up after you do that. @vieshnavi 226670 wrote:
