# Ad-Inspired Bingo Cards This Bingo Card Challengs Players to Pay Attention to Daily Advertisments By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-09-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Bingo-Cards References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/379178/Ad-Agency-Bingo-A-Fun-Game-For-People-In-The-Advertising-Industry/) & [juniornotes.tumblr](http://juniornotes.tumblr.com/post/125082178255/its-time-to-play-ad-agency-bingo) New York-based copywriter Sam Bartos designed these playful bingo cards, which are a creative way to increase recognition of jargon and terms used in the [advertising industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobody-reads-ads). The bingo cards feature specific advertising tactics and phrases that are used in various aspects of marketing. A few of the creative squares that are displayed on the cards include "somebody brilliant drinking before 2 pm" and "#selfie...in the name of a campaign." The center of the bingo card reads "free food," which is close to the original cards that simply read "free." The idea for this game is to encourage a bit of office interaction and playful jokes that increase [office bonding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punch-your-client). The game's rules are the same as a regular bingo game, which means if someone makes a straight or diagonal line they win. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Ad-inspired Games:** Inspire other ad industry games that challenge players to engage with advertising messages in a fun way. - **Gamification of Work:** Create games that increase office interaction and playful jokes that increase office bonding. - **Increased Recognition of Industry Jargon:** Develop tools that help people learn industry-specific terms and jargon in a fun and engaging way. ### Where This Applies - **Marketing:** Create similar games that challenge people to recognize industry-related terms and jargon in a fun way. - **Advertising:** Identify other fun ways to engage people with advertisements and marketing campaigns to increase brand recognition. - **Office Games:** Explore opportunities to create more office games that promote team building and interaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inviting Family-Friendly Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-mixers-1.md) - [Alternative Advent Calendar Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-christmas-mishap-bingo.md) - [Athlete-Centric Bingo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-your-bingo-moment.md) - [Game Show-Style Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertisement.md) - [Branding Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decode-the-identity.md) - [Interactive Game Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-ads-gamebreaks.md) - [Holiday-Themed Playful Quizzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foney-fonts.md) - [Phone-Inspired Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-phones-1.md) - [Furniture-Inspired Acting Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-ades-challenge.md)
