They were 3 game cards each lasting approx 20/30 minutes. The overall main prize of the evening was a massive inflatable unicorn … I loved her but also prayed we didn’t win as she would have been a buggar to fit in my car and I can imagine it would have been be a nightmare to deflate! £35 for a full house was the best prize by far and it was a great incentive to win. Prizes included space hoppers, random books and bottles of alcohol. You won a prize on 1 line, 2 lines and a full house. The prizes were absolute rubbish but brilliant at the same time, something Mecca Bingo where again very upfront about. Sing-a-longs, twerk-offs and lap-dances with a cardboard cutout of Tom Hardy! Mmmm mmmm. There was a DJ and our host who came out with corkers such as “ 2 bent willies 77“, “ Netflix and chill 69” and “ Little Mix 66“Īs expected there was lots of swearing and harmless frivolity. I felt decidedly over-dressed.Īt 8.30ish the proceedings began. Unicorns proved popular for the ladies while the gents opted for dodgy beach attire. I’d say the majority of the crowd were made up of students, a lot of them in fancy dress. I noted a few groups of ladies our age some serious ‘bingo-ers’, a few birthday parties and a couple of couples. We sat and people watched as the place started to steadily fill up. My only alcoholic beverage of the evening. Martin ran through the proceedings and even went and got our first drinks for us. We arrived at just before 8pm and as VIP’s for the evening were shown to our seats by the lovely Martin who really was the perfect host.Īlong with our game cards, a fluorescent glow stick and dabber, we received a generous few drinks vouchers and a meal voucher each which was all very lovely. I advised Sue that if I won she would have to go up and get my prize while I actively encouraged her to go and get some Dutch courage in the form of another vodka and tonic ! The only exception tonight was that I wouldn’t be drinking as I was the designated driver! I really think that on nights like this it’s a good idea to be fuelled by lots of alcohol. I’m that girl who panics and dreads things like this but is usually the one found dancing along on her chair, loving it.

There would be swearing, dancing, singing, things may get a little raucous with twerking and lap dancing. We had been forewarned that although it was Bingo … it would be Bingo with a difference. Yep you heard correctly … Bonkers Bingo it’s a ‘thing’ apparently ! Last week my friend Sue and I went bonkers at Mecca bingo in Sheffield City Centre.

How do you play bonkers bingo
