How to use the caller
- Pick 75-ball or 90-ballChoose the game that matches your cards. American cards use the numbers 1 to 75 under the letters B, I, N, G and O. British tickets use 1 to 90.
- Press Call or turn on auto-callEach press draws one number at random and shows it large, with the last three calls beside it. Auto-call does the same every few seconds, at the speed you pick.
- Players mark their cardsEveryone marks the called number if it is on their card. Turn on voice so players can listen instead of watching the screen.
- Check a claim against the listWhen someone calls bingo, read their numbers back against the called list, or type them into Check a bingo claim to see which ones are missing.
- Reset for the next gamePress New game to put every number back in the pool. The board and the called list clear, and your settings stay the same.
Every number is drawn once, with no repeats, until the board is full and the caller shows All numbers called. Called a number by mistake? Undo last call puts it back in the pool and pauses auto-call. Your game saves on this device as you play, so a reload or a closed tab does not lose the board.
Voice calling uses the speech voices built into your phone or computer. If your browser has none, the voice switch is hidden and the calls show on screen only. For the call style, pick Number only (just the number, with no letter), With letter (75-ball, such as B 7) or Nicknames.

Bingo calls and nicknames

Flashboard on a TV
Press Flashboard to fill the screen with the latest call, the previous three and the full number board, with every called number lit up. It is sized to fit a TV or a phone without scrolling, and you can keep pressing Call from the flashboard itself.
To show it on a TV, open this page on a laptop connected by HDMI, or mirror your phone or tablet to the TV. Press Close or Esc to go back. While auto-call is running, the caller asks your device to keep the screen awake, where the browser supports it.
Need a printed record? Print called list prints every number in the order it was drawn, and Print number grid prints the board with the called numbers circled. Playing dice later in the evening? The Farkle score sheet keeps score the same way.
For a word game on the same big screen, the Scattergories-style lists show a large letter and countdown timer that everyone can read from the sofa.
