How to Play

  1. Find it. Explore the Fair and find something on your Bingo card.
  2. Shoot it. Tap the square and take a photo.
  3. Bingo! Get five photos in a row across, down, or diagonally.

Don’t stop at one Bingo. Keep playing and turn your card into a photographic souvenir of your day at the Fair.

Also worth knowing

Your pictures stay on this phone. Nothing goes anywhere unless you choose to send it, and the copy the game keeps has its location and camera details stripped out.

This browser won’t let the game keep pictures — private browsing usually does that. You can still mark the square.

Your Fair moment could be featured

Submit your Bingo photos for a chance to be featured by the Great Allentown Fair.

You’re about to send 0 photographs. Each one arrives labelled with the bingo square you took it for.

Sending checks that you’re at the Fairgrounds. Your location is used for that check and nothing else — it isn’t stored, and it never travels with your photographs.

Hold on to your ticket

Clear the board?

This takes every mark off the card and leaves you back at the free space. Your twenty-five squares stay exactly as they are — New Card is the one that reshuffles them. Any pictures you took come off with the marks.

Marks you’d lose 0

Fresh sheet

Deal a new card?

This deals twenty-five different squares and drops your marks along with them. There’s no getting this card back — Clear Marks keeps these squares and only resets the marks. Either way, the pictures go with it.

Someone sent you a card

Play their card?

That link carries somebody else’s twenty-five squares, and you’ve already started one of your own. Taking theirs deals their squares to you with a clean board — your card can’t be got back, and the pictures on it go with it.
