Bystander Bingo

Support & Help

Getting Started

How do I play?

Pick a location, tap Single Player, and you'll get a 5×5 bingo board filled with things you might actually see there. Tap a square when you spot it in real life. Get bingo to win.

What are the different game modes?

1-Line — any row, column, or diagonal. 2-Line — two bingo lines. 4-Corners — mark all four corners. Blackout — fill the entire board. Endless — complete lines to clear them; new squares drop in from the top.

What is Unhinged Mode?

An opt-in toggle in Settings that adds a second layer of darker, more brutally honest squares to the pool. Designed for adult players. Turn it on in the Settings menu (⚙️).

What are Shuffle and Re-Roll?

Shuffle randomizes the positions of your unmarked squares. Re-Roll replaces your unmarked squares with fresh ones from the pool. Both are available in Settings during a game.

Multiplayer

How do I play with friends?

Tap Host a Room on the home screen to get a 6-character room code. Share that code with your friends — they tap Join a Room and enter it. Everyone gets their own board from the same location's square pool.

Why can't I change settings in a multiplayer game?

Only the host controls game settings (location, mode, Unhinged toggle) to keep everyone on the same board type. Settings are locked for joiners.

What do the colored dots mean on squares?

Dots show what other players in your room have marked. Each player gets a different color. It's a live view of what everyone is spotting.

Purchases & Packs

How do I restore my purchases?

Tap the ⚙️ Settings icon → Restore Purchases. Your previously purchased packs will be reactivated. Make sure you're signed in to the same App Store account used for the original purchase.

I bought a pack but it's not showing up.

Try restoring purchases first (Settings → Restore Purchases). If the issue persists, force-quit the app and reopen it. If it still doesn't appear, contact us below with your order number.

Can I use my packs on a new device?

Yes — tap Restore Purchases on your new device while signed in to the same App Store account. Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID, not the device.

Do purchases transfer between iOS and Android?

No — App Store and Google Play purchases are separate. A purchase on one platform cannot be transferred to the other, as this is a platform restriction we cannot override.

Ads

How do I remove ads?

Tap the banner ad or go to Settings → Remove Ads to purchase the one-time Remove Ads upgrade. This removes the banner and interstitial ads permanently.
