Hello Cadre Bingo Players (new and experienced alike) and Welcome to Bingo Game #77, April Fools Bingo!
Apologies to the Bingo Gods and The Cadre Owners for my delay in starting this game. I’ll make it up to you all with some great prizes (and bonus prizes)! And for this April Fools game there’s a twist and the joke is on me! (more on that later)
This will be a simple game designed to help ease new players into it and see how much fun this Forum Bingo can be.
The terms of this game are as follows:
1. Sign-ups are open starting right now. You may still sign up after the game starts (if you want to play catch up).
The first call will be on Wednesday April 1st, 2026.
2. You must be a TSC member in good standing, with at least 10 meaningful posts. (If you don’t have enough posts yet, get to it! Join some conversations. Remember, you can join late, whenever you hit 10!)
3. Spirited banter is highly encouraged but remember to be a lady/gentleman in all interactions.
4. Calls will be Standard American Bingo Hall calls, consisting of the Letters: B, I, N, G, or O and their corresponding Numbers: 1-75 (Examples: B2, I18, N42, G55, O69). Numbers found without the corresponding letter are not valid calls.
5. There will be 3 calls per day (plus a possible bonus). Calls will be found in one of Spider’s posts/activities for the given day, anywhere within the TSC Forum. Calls may be posted all at once in the same post, or throughout the course of any given day, up to Midnight Central Time.
BONUS Calls. The daily bonus call will come from the players. Every day the list of players will be randomized, and one player chosen to make a call. The player will be identified in the morning, and that player will have until 5PM Central Time to make their call in this thread. Calls made after that time will not count. Players get one chance to make a call. If they call a number that's already been called, oh well.
6. Calls can occur in a variety of ways:
Plain Text calls, typed directly or hidden within a post. (Player calls will be plain text)
Puzzles, Word Games, Photo, video, numeric, code, alternate Languages, audio, encryption, steganography, links to external sources, or graphic representation of calls may be employed. Calls may be encoded or hidden in puzzles, requiring the player to decode or solve to determine the actual call.
If at any point you are stumped or need clarification on a call, you may contact the caller or another player by PM for help.
7. Bingo cards: Each player will receive 1 Card, which will be sent via PM before the game begins (unless you sign up after the game begins). You may print out your cards, or keep it digital. As calls are received mark them on your cards.
8. To win, you must get a Triple Bingo! One Standard Bingo, which consists of 5 calls in a row (Vertical, Horizontal, or Diagonal), one “4-Corners” Bingo (which includes the center space), and one “postage Stamp” Bingo (which involves a square group of 4 in any of the corners, and the center space). The center space will not be a Free Space this game.
Once you believe you have a bingo you must type "TSC BINGO!" in this thread. Then you must submit a photo of your card in this thread, for verification by the caller. The first person to call TSC BINGO! wins the game (There are no ties).
9. The winner of this game will receive the following:
The highly coveted Bingo Wizard Badge and bragging rights!
The honor of being the caller of the next Bingo game (to be started within 4 weeks of winning--no bogarting the badge!).
An additional prize may be offered at the discretion of the caller (callers are not required to offer a prize).
Prizes for this game are shown below!
And the April Fools Joke!... As many experienced players know, once the game starts, the callers often use their call-list to play all the cards, so they know when the game will end, which can help them decide how to play certain calls. As a result, they may also know who will win. Well, with players making bonus calls, the call list will be disrupted every day, so this caller (me) will not know who will win until the end, just like you. And many experienced players also know that our games often come down to the end of the call list. So, as a bonus, each time a player calls one of the last 10 numbers on my call-list (Calls 66 thru 75), I will add another prize to the prize pool for the winner!
10. These rules must be posted by the caller before each game, edited for the specifics of their game.
11. If you have any questions, or if any rule needs clarification, let the caller know. The caller has the final say in any questions, disputes, or clarifications regarding calls/rules.
12. Have Fun! Or, Go Crazy! But..... Why Not Both??
Prizes!
