It's the classic game of Bingo, with an educational twist. The letters B-I-N-G-O are replaced with categories related to substance abuse, such as "Triggers", and the numbers are replaced with relevant responses, such as "Witnessing Drug Use". This tool provides a fun way to prompt conversation in a group setting.

Group Discussion: The Addictions Bingo game is intended for use with a group between 2 and 15 members. We suggest taking some time after each turn for a brief discussion about the topic that's selected. Just in case there are answers you aren't familiar with, you can download the Game Guide (found in the Bingo Boards menu).

Game Boards:After launching the game, click the "Bingo Boards" button in the top right corner of the screen. From here, you may choose printable boards for in-person sessions, or digital boards for remote play.

How to Play: Provide each player with a game board, and click "Start Game" to begin. A ball with a category and an answer will bounce onto the screen. Players will check their board to see if they have the matching category and answer, and if they do, they will mark it off using a pen, stamp, or whatever else is convenient. The first player to get a complete line of checked-off squares wins the game! The line can be horizontal, diagonal, or vertical.

Other Info: You can start a new game by clicking the "Reset Game" button in the top right corner of the screen. You can also review answers that have already been played in the "Answer History" section. Each time a ball is played, the answer will be added to the history list.
