How it works

A scavenger hunt bingo template turns a hunt list into a race for a line: each team carries a different card, and five finds in a row wins. The 88 finds come in four lists: house, outdoors, anywhere and photo.

Run the hunt from the cards

Set How many cards to one per team and print. Set a boundary and a finish time, and send them off. A square is marked when the thing is found, and nothing gets carried back. For a sit-down round, press Call the game: each call names a find, and whoever has that square goes to touch it.

Trim the template to your place

The full list mixes all four. For a rainy day, pick Around the house in Ready-made list; for a park, Yard, street and park; for anywhere else, Works anywhere. Each holds 24, so every 5 × 5 card carries the same finds in a different order. Then press Enter after any square and type your own: the blue door, the squeaky stair.

  • Settle what counts before the start: seen, touched or photographed. The notes in the full list below rule on the usual arguments.
  • Photo finds show teammates and objects only, never anyone who is not playing. Check the camera roll when a team shouts bingo.
  • For a short round, set Grid to 3 × 3: a line takes two or three finds.

Questions and answers

Can I print a blank card to fill in by hand?

Yes. Press Empty the list, then the print button, and the cards print with empty squares. To type your own hunt, enter one find per line: 24 lines fill a 5 × 5 card with a free square, and about 40 give each card different finds.

Does one card work indoors and outdoors?

The works-anywhere squares do: something striped, something that rolls and something older than you fit an office, a campsite or a hotel lobby. The other sets need a home, or a yard, street or park.

How do you win scavenger hunt bingo?

The first team with five finds in a row, across, down or corner to corner, shouts bingo, and the free square counts. For a longer hunt, play on to four corners, then blackout. If time runs out first, the card with the most marks wins.

How this list was compiled: Written for this page: 88 things to find in four sets (24 around the house, 24 in a yard, street or park, 24 that work anywhere, 16 photo finds for teams). Every square is 30 characters or fewer, names no brand or store, and is marked when it is found: nothing on the list has to be picked, bought or carried off. Photo finds show teammates and objects only, never a person who is not playing. The line beside a square is our what-counts ruling for the usual argument, written as a house rule and not as an official rule, because a scavenger hunt has none. The description of the game (a prepared list, small teams, first to finish or most found, photo variants) was checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger_hunt on September 18, 2026, and the bingo win patterns on the page (a line, four corners, blackout, free center square) against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_%28American_version%29 on the same day.
