Anime Convention Bingo Cards

A scavenger game for the con floor. Mark a square every time you spot a classic anime-con moment, from a detailed cosplay to a packed dealer hall, and the first to a full line wins.

Free to design and print · edit any square · 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5

An anime convention bingo card turns a busy con day into a playful hunt, giving your group something to spot and mark as you roam the floor. Start from the template, keep the squares below or write in your own con sightings, and you have cards ready to print in a couple of minutes.

Because every card is shuffled from the same square list, no two players get the same grid, so a small crew or a big group can wander the hall together and each chase a unique board.

Ideas for your game

  • Use it as a floor scavenger hunt

    Hand a card to everyone in your group at the door, then mark squares as you spot each con moment while you explore the hall together.

  • Add the events you plan to hit

    Edit a few squares to name the kinds of panels, gatherings, or booths on your schedule so the card matches the day you actually have planned.

  • Print a stack or play on phones

    Print a small batch to tuck in a badge holder, or share one link and a QR code so everyone marks their card from their own phone on the floor.

Editable and printable

Edit every square. Open the card in the editor, keep the suggested squares or replace them with your own words, emoji, or photos, and pick a theme that fits the day.

Print a whole set at once. Each card is shuffled from the same square list, so every player gets a unique grid. Print to standard letter or A4 paper on any home printer — or order professionally printed cards shipped to your door.

Or play live. Share one link and a QR code and the whole room plays from their phones, in person or over video.

Questions

How do I make anime convention bingo cards for free?

Open the editor, pick a bold theme, keep the suggested convention squares or type your own sightings, and print. You can make and print a basic set without paying.

When do you mark a square?

Mark a square the moment you spot it on the floor, like browsing the dealer hall, joining a dance gathering, or posing for a cosplay photo.

Can I use it at any anime con?

Yes. The squares describe generic convention moments rather than one event, so the card works at almost any anime, manga, or pop-culture con.

How many cards do I need?

One per person. Each card is randomly shuffled from the same square list, so any size group can play and still get unique grids.
