About Bingo
This is the classic 5×5 Bingo that many people played on paper at school: each player writes 1 to 25 in their own order, and players take turns calling numbers.
Your card is private: other players only see their own.

- Call numbers that finish your own lines, but notice which numbers your opponents are calling.
- The center number is in four lines, so it is often worth calling early.
How we built and tested Bingo
We tested every rule by having the computer play thousands of moves against itself at each player count, making sure every game ends properly and no illegal move is ever accepted. Online rooms were tested with two simulated players joining the same room and taking turns.
