Host Script: Read Before The Game Starts

All right, On Par, let me hear you make some noise!

Welcome to Pop Culture Moments Bingo. Tonight is all about big memories, iconic moments, fast fingers, and very loud BINGO energy.

To play, scan the QR code on the screen, enter your name, and choose up to three bingo cards. When a pop culture moment appears on the display, tap that square on your card if you have it. The free space is already yours.

Here is the important part: BINGOS do not end the whole game. BINGOS add points. The players with the most points at the end are our winners, so keep playing after every BINGO.

In Rounds 1, 2, and 3, any row, column, or diagonal counts as a regular BINGO for 100 points. Round 2 also has a Four Corners bonus worth 50 points. Round 3 also has an X Bingo bonus worth 200 points.

For the final round, you keep your Round 3 cards. The final round is cover-all blackout only. Fill the whole card for 500 points. Once you hit blackout, that card will be replaced with a fresh card so you can keep chasing points.

When you get a BINGO, tap the BINGO button, yell BINGO, use the noise makers on your table, and make sure we hear you. We are giving a bonus prize to the loudest table at the end of the bingo game.

So be loud, help your table, keep your cards moving, and get ready. Pop Culture Moments Bingo starts now!
