How it works
This housewarming party bingo game opens on the house tour card: rooms and things in a new home, marked as the hosts show guests around. Two more lists make a gift-opening card and a find-a-guest mixer.

The house tour card
Set How many cards to the guest count and press the print button; no two cards match. Guests mark a square when they see it on the tour: the linen closet, a box nobody has unpacked. Five in a line win. To call it from the couch instead, press Call the game.
Gifts and guests
Under More options, pick Gifts guests bring in Ready-made list, and guests mark each gift as it is unwrapped. Find a guest who is the mixer: guests ask around and write a name in each square, such as has a junk drawer. Nobody calls either one.
Tips
- Type the hosts' names into Title on the cards, under More options.
- On the mixer card, one guest signs a card twice at most, so a row of five takes three people.
Questions and answers
How do you play housewarming bingo?
Hand each guest a card and a pen. On the tour card, guests mark what they spot as the hosts show the home; on the gift card, what is unwrapped; on the mixer, they collect names. The first full line calls bingo.
What is on the cards?
Three lists: 30 rooms and things such as Linen closet and Unpacked box, 25 gifts such as Potted herb and Homemade jam, and 30 find-a-guest squares such as Has a junk drawer and Labels every moving box.
Do the hosts have to open gifts in front of everyone?
No. The tour card and the mixer need no gifts at all. The gift list also works as a guessing card: guests mark what they think was brought, and the hosts read out what arrived.
