EpisodeBingo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Episode Bingo is the game you play with your partner while you watch reality TV. Two phones, one couch. Before the episode, you each make secret predictions and pick a stake: loser makes breakfast, winner picks the next show. During the episode, tap bingo squares as the moments happen ("I've got a text!", a blindside, rose-ceremony tears) and watch your partner's card fill up in real time. After the credits, settle up together and watch the season scoreboard move. WORKS WITH THE SHOWS YOU ALREADY WATCH Love Island, The Bachelor, Survivor, Big Brother, Love Is Blind, The Traitors, Below Deck, Real Housewives, Married at First Sight, Selling Sunset, Drag Race, 90 Day Fiancé, The Amazing Race, Bake Off and more. Every show has its own bingo squares, prediction prompts and fantasy scoring. THREE GAMES IN ONE EPISODE • Bingo: a unique 5×5 card each, double-tap to mark, first line wins. • Predictions: who goes home, who cries first, how many times they say "journey". • Fantasy roster: draft cast members and score their on-screen moments. MADE FOR TWO • Pair with a 6-letter code. No groups, no strangers. • Stakes are never money: back rubs, breakfast, picking the next show. IOUs are tracked until you pay up. • Season scoreboard, streaks and titles like Prophet, Card Shark and Sore Loser. • Honour system: you settle outcomes together. Disagree? Coin flip. EPISODE BINGO PLUS One subscription covers both of you: unlimited shows, the fantasy roster, custom squares, prompts and stakes, and your full season history. 14-day free trial, then an annual or monthly plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Episode Bingo is an unofficial fan game and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any network or show.
