Print Pack

Download printable answer sheets, bingo cards, and a join poster for a phone-free night on paper.

What the Print Pack is

The Print Pack turns a saved game into a stack of PDFs you print at home and take to the venue. It covers a full pen-and-paper night: a join poster with the QR code and join code, per-team answer sheets shaped to each round type, unique bingo cards, a scorer's tally grid, a blank final-standings scorecard, a run-of-show cheat sheet, and a confidential host answer key you read questions and grade from.

Everything is built straight from the game's saved configuration, so you do not need a live session to print. This is the kitchen-table surface: build the game once, download the pack, and you can run the whole night off paper if the room has bad signal or you just want phones down.

What is in the pack

The one-click pack is a single ZIP with every printable inside, named as flat files so you can drag-print each one. You can also grab any single piece on its own if you only need to reprint one part.

  1. Join poster: a three-page PDF with a full wall poster, an A5 half-page, and a fold-over table tent, all showing the QR code and the join code.
  2. Answer sheets: one PDF per round, one team per page, with the round's answer lines. Bluff, Brainpardy, and wagering rounds get sheets shaped to their scoring.
  3. Bingo cards: unique 5x5 cards for each paper bingo round.
  4. Scorer's worksheet: a tally grid with a row per team and a column per round.
  5. Scorecard: a blank final-standings sheet to hand out or post on the wall.
  6. Run of show: a one-page recap of every round with its type, question count, and answer mode.
  7. Host answer key: the confidential read-aloud and grading sheet with every question and its correct answer. This one is for the host and scorer only.

The join poster QR code

The poster's QR code sends players to the right place automatically. If the game is part of an event, the code points at the event link so one poster stays valid across all of that event's activities. A standalone game points at the game's own join link. The join code prints large underneath so anyone can hand-type it if their camera will not scan.

Print the wall poster for the door, the A5 for the bar, and the table tents for each table. They all carry the same code.

Pick your team and card counts

Answer sheets, the scorer's worksheet, and the scorecard default to 10 teams and go up to 50. Set the count a little above the number of teams you expect so you have spare sheets at the door.

Bingo cards default to 30 per round and cap at 50. Each card is unique and reproducible: the same game prints the same set every time, so a reprint matches the cards already on the tables. Need a fresh batch that does not clash with cards already handed out? Reprint with a different seed.

Running the night on paper

Hand each team their answer sheet before a round starts and collect it the moment the timer ends. The scorer marks it against the host answer key, writes the round score onto the worksheet, and you read the running totals off that grid without touching a screen.

  1. Print the pack the day before and sort it into round order.
  2. Set up the join poster and table tents when you arrive.
  3. Distribute answer sheets round by round; collect them at the timer.
  4. Grade from the host answer key and tally on the scorer's worksheet.
  5. Fill the final-standings scorecard at the end and post it or hand it out.

The host answer key is confidential. Keep it at the scoring station, not on the tables.

Paper mode is free on every plan. There is no upgrade gate on the Print Pack.

If a bingo round cannot make cards (for example too few items configured), the pack drops in a short text note naming that round instead of failing the whole download, so you catch the problem at home rather than at the venue.

You can only print your own games. The download checks ownership before it builds.
