Bodycam Bingo began as an offhand comment I made to my wife one night after watching too many bodycam videos. Reading some of the comments on some of those videos, I quickly realized we weren’t the only ones with bingo on the brain: that got me thinking, so I started coding things up. This is the result.

If you’re hosting a multiplayer game

1. Give yourself a player name.
2. Choose a theme/category. Or don’t and just let the game choose for you.
3. If you want your friends to know what’s going on, copy & paste the link to the video you’re watching.
4. Click HOST MULTIPLAYER GAME.
5. Once the “Share” dialog appears, click the relevant button(s) to a) share or b) start the game.

If you’re joining a multiplayer game

1. Look for a text/email/smoke signal from your friend. It’ll include the code, a link to the game (containing the code), and maybe a link to a video. (If it doesn’t, that’s your friend’s fault.)
2. Click JOIN GAME.
3. Hang out until the host starts the game.

If you don’t have any friends

1. That’s rough, dude.
2. Give yourself a player name. Or don’t—you’re the only one who’ll know.
3. Choose a category.
4. Click PLAY SINGLE-PLAYER GAME.
