I’ll help out our poor overworked game host. Yes. Just unmark the boxes and start over. (Which I see you did). Now find a horse!!

p.s. Other than analog clock, I like your card.

Correct Jenn…clear your card and give it another go!

First, great to see the interest in the game!
Several people are getting close to Bingo (just 1 or 2 squares remaining).

Some updates / reminders:
What will happen when someone posts “BINGO!” to the forum?

• I’ll verify the Bingo (should be same day/next day).
• I’ll need access to your Strava account (I’ll check you rode and posted the pics on your ride)
• I’ll post verification to everyone here in the thread
• Winner will get to select their prize (I have a couple choices)

Can we play again? YES !!!!!
Looks like we’ll have time for another game. If it takes longer than the end of Freezing Saddles, we’ll keep playing until a BINGO.

How and when will Game #2 start?

• The day I verify Game #1 winner, I’ll post the call for Day#1 of Game #2
• I’ll keep the same objects to find for game#2 (thought about swapping out some, but too complex)
• By default, I will assume you want to keep your same card for Game #2
• If you want a NEW card for Game #2, you have two choices:
  1. Ask me to select a card for you (I’ll post the card URL here & in the Google Tracking Sheet)
  2. Select a card yourself (most people did fine for Game#1, but some had issues)

Remember you must get a new card BEFORE Game#2 Starts….otherwise you will play with your current card

More Details –> How do you get a new Bingo card for Game #2 (if you want one)?

1. Post here to ask me to select a card for you. I’ll select, and post your new Bingo card URL in the forum + in the Google Tracking Sheet (I’ll make a new tab for Game #2)
2. If you want to select card yourself:

• Click the URL to select a Bingo card or also find the URL in the Google Tracking Sheet..cell A2
• Post your new card URL to the thread and I’ll update the Google tracking sheet and count that card
• Check the first post in the thread for details too (if needed) or post in thread to ask me questions (I read at least daily).

Thanks for this fun game! Are all the objects “thrown back into the hat,” so to speak, meaning will you possibly call some same objects again?

[bigredboiler]

Indiana – correct….total restart. Randomized all 75 “objects” and calling them again (note Day#1 for Game#2 was “horse”, which was already called in Game#1)

Feb 16 (Day #2): Cat

Additional clarifying info:
Find a 3D cat (domestic…no tigers, bobcats, etc.). Can be real or a figurine, sculpture, etc. Just not a 2D likeness (artwork, logo, etc. won’t count).

Reminders:

• you can also find each day’s “Bingo#” on the Google Tracking Sheet
• you can find all the rules on the first post in this thread

Chris – did you break into someone’s house during your ride to find this cat? They do pose quite well for the camera at least.

Thanks for doing this fun game! Keeping my same card

Flag (Military)

I hope the POW/MIA will count again this time. This one was about 2,500 miles away from the other one, though.

Flag (military)
AlanA and I seem to be in lockstep. Same flag design both times, but not the same actual flags.
