Navigating the Game

Main Menu

When you spawn into the game, you will be presented with the main menu.

This consists of the logo with a play button and a scrolling box area with various buttons/information relating to the game.

Press the play button to jump into the game. On devices with smaller screens you will need to press the play button under the select server area relevant to the current server (left most).

Servers


This shows a list of servers you can join, each server will play a different range of games.

  • Mixed Bingo: This server plays all types of bingo. It randomly selects games based on the time of day biasing towards British Bingo when Britain is awake, American Bingo when america is awake, Lotería when Mexico and Spain are awake (but has lower probability than British/American), and Arcade Bingo at a low probabilistic constant.
  • British Bingo: This server plays just British Bingo, at a slightly faster pace than the mixed server. Every 3rd round it will use the British rhyming calls instead of just the numbers.
  • American Bingo: This server plays just American Bingo, at a slightly faster pace than the mixed server.
  • Arcade Bingo: This server plays just Arcade Bingo, at a slightly faster pace than the mixed server.
  • Lotería: This server plays just Lotería, at a slightly faster pace than the mixed server.
  • Members: Visible to only players with a paid membership, this is the same as the mixed server but exclusive to members. It has a slightly lower maximum server size.

Physical Areas

When you spawn into the game, you will be located in the spawn area. This is in the centre of the map.

Behind the spawning area there is a lobby/lounge area where you can sit and play.

Opposite the lounge there is a physical rendition of the shop.

Going straight on from the spawn area, will lead you into the hall. This is the main area of the game where all the tables are, the main screen and stage the bingo caller calls from. It is not possible to go onto the stage unless you are a Private Server admin.

Top Bar

The top bar is where all the menus in the game can be accessed from.

On devices with narrow screens, not all buttons will show.

To access the other buttons in this case, you should press the expanded menu button which will bring up a list of the hidden options to select from.


Card Toggle

The Cards Icon (top right) toggles the visibility of your cards. Click it to toggle them open/closed.

When your cards are open, mobile devices will disable the jump button and you will need to toggle the cards shut to get the button back.
On console you can’t jump when any menu or cards are open, keep pressing B to get back..

T x1,000,000,000,000

The zoom level of the board will vary depending on your screens display ratio.

Schedule

Schedule is a button on the top bar. It will display a schedule.
image

This will bring up a list of game sessions, with times and days.
It will show you all the games happening for the week ahead, and will automatically be shown in your local time zone.

The red bar represents where the current time is.

Today will always be the left most column.

This lets you see which caller is active for which slots.

The intention was that this could be used in the future for more specific scheduling such as special events & cross-server games but these are no longer on the roadmap. The only time we’ve ever added an event is when an all servers shutdown had to occur at that only occurred only once.

Servers

image

The servers section lists every public server where Bingo is being played so that you can select which server you’d like to join.

The drop down at the top can be used to filter between different serve types.

Each server is randomly asigned a name of a random Great Britain Railway Station. The name of the server you’re in is displayed in the top left although is a bit obscured by the Roblox UI since that was updated awhile ago.

You can view the Server Name, Type of Server the Current Game being played, The Call Number (-- if in interval) and the number of players. Press the join button to teleport to that server.
