(for example, if the letter "B" is picked, the announcer reads "BEEN to Comic-Con" If you have been to Comic-Con, then you get the point. The object is to be the first person with 5 checks across or 5 checks down.)
So take a regular BINGO card or make your own using blank boxes under the letters.
Next, pick bingo balls out of a hopper (again ignore the numbers, just call the letter) the read one of the statements that are labeled "B" "I" "N" "G" or "O"
Once you've gotten 5 across or 5 down, you shout "GEEK BINGO!"
The call-out card is attached and was written with the help of Lisa Beebe, Scott Christian Carr, Noah Tarnow and Mike Whalen. (Thanks guys!)
