Guests scan a QR code on your TV and get a digital bingo card on their phone — no app, no paper, no daubers. Call classic 75-ball bingo, or put an 80s movie quote on the screen and let the room daub the movie. Run it with a caller on the mic, or schedule it to run itself.

Bingo is the lowest-barrier game in the building: nobody needs to be smart, fast or sober to play, and a themed round — 80s movies, one-hit wonders — gets the whole table shouting. What stops most bars from running it weekly is everything around the game.
Printing cards, handing out daubers, collecting cards, a caller squinting at a ball cage, and someone walking over to verify every "BINGO!" by hand. By round three the staff are over it.
Music bingo and movie bingo are the nights people actually come back for — but making the cards, the playlist and the answer key for a new theme every week is a side job nobody signed up for.
With paper, every claim stops the game for a card check, and some people just daub everything and hope. Each false alarm drains a little energy out of the room.
Thursti Bar Bingo runs on the TVs you already own and the phones your guests already have. Nothing to print, nothing to install.
Not a mockup — the live Thursti bingo display. The quote goes up, the room argues, the answer is revealed, the called list grows. Everything else happens on your guests' phones.
Six games ready the day you sign up. Run a different one every week, or let the crowd vote. Every themed game is a quiz and a bingo card at the same time: the TV shows the clue, the card holds the answers.
Traditional B-I-N-G-O. Numbered columns 1–75, free space in the middle, the game your grandmother would recognize — minus the ball cage.
136 quotes from the decade that invented the quotable movie. Cards show the movie titles; the TV shows the line. The loudest round you'll run all month.
126 quotes from Pulp Fiction to Clueless to Jerry Maguire. The sweet spot for a 30-to-45 crowd that knows every word.
167 quotes from Anchorman, Mean Girls, Gladiator, The Hangover and more. The one your younger regulars will dominate.
Four themes — 60s & 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s & 2010s — 281 song-title calls in all, each sized so a game finishes in 25–35 calls. Zero licensing headaches: the TV shows the title, the card shows the artist.
161 moments from the moon landing to the iPhone launch, padded with easy ones so nobody feels dumb. Cards show the years. Great for a mixed-age room.
Want 70s rock bingo, Office quotes, local-history bingo or a round about your own tap list? Build it in Custom Bingo — see below.
Paper bingo has two problems: people who daub everything, and the card check that stops the game every time someone yells. Thursti fixes both with one rule.
Good card? The TV celebrates the winner by name, the round ends (or continues for second place — your choice), and the next round deals fresh cards.
Bad card? Every wrong daub is wiped off and that call's mark is spent — they can't re-daub until the next call. Guessing is a real gamble, so the squares people daub are the ones they actually know. No spam, no stalls, no arguments.
Custom Bingo turns any list of pairs into a themed bingo night. A theme is a title, a win pattern, a free-space toggle, instructions for players, and 25 or more call → answer pairs.
Quotes, lyrics, trivia-style clues, slang from a decade, items on your menu. Type them or paste a list — the fastest way to a new theme.
Album covers, movie stills, celebrity faces, local landmarks, logos. The TV shows the image; the card shows the name. Logo bingo and "name that beer" nights start here.
Point at a YouTube video, set a start and end time, and the TV plays just that clip — the opening riff, the famous scene, the TV theme song. Music bingo and movie-scene bingo without a DJ.
Start from a built-in theme and tweak it, duplicate one of your own, or import from a file. Themes are yours — build a library and rotate it through the year.
Thursti isn't a replacement for a great caller — it's the best assistant they've ever had. And on the nights you can't book one, Bingo Night runs the whole thing itself.
The bars that make bingo pay are the ones that run it every single week, same night, same time. Consistency is the whole game. Thursti makes it easy to keep: your caller gets a smoother, funnier night to run, and when they're off, sick or booked elsewhere, a scheduled Bingo Night keeps the streak alive instead of cancelling.
Free in 30 seconds. No credit card, no contract. Every new account gets 30 days of Pro — Bar Bingo and Interactive Trivia included.
Open Bingo Night, choose Classic or a pop culture theme, pick the win pattern and rounds, and decide: hosted with a console, or automated on a timer and a weekly schedule.
Open the Thursti player on any Google TV, a browser, or a $30 Android/Fire stick. Pair it. The QR code appears, the cards deal themselves, and your guests do the rest.
Thursti Pro is $39 a month — bingo on Tuesday, trivia on Thursday, menus and sports in between, on every screen.

No. Guests scan a QR code on your TV and a digital bingo card opens in their phone's browser. They tap to daub. No app, no account, no paper, no daubers, no cleanup.
Both. Classic Bingo is traditional 75-ball B-I-N-G-O with numbered columns. Themed bingo replaces the numbers with answers: the TV shows an 80s movie quote, a song title or a world event, and players daub the matching movie, artist or year on their card. Thursti ships with both ready to go.
Classic 75-ball bingo plus built-in pop culture themes: 80s, 90s and 2000s Movie Quotes, four decades of Music Bingo (60s & 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s & 2010s), Famous Places → Country and World Events → Year. Over 900 calls in total, and you can build your own themes with text, images, video or YouTube clips.
One daub per call. Each call lets a player mark exactly one square, so guessing is a real gamble. When someone hits BINGO the server checks the card: a good card wins and the TV celebrates; a bad card has its wrong daubs wiped and that call's mark is spent. Nobody can spam the button.
No. With a host, Thursti deals the cards, tracks every daub and verifies every BINGO while your caller runs the mic from a phone console. Without one, Bingo Night runs itself: a lobby countdown, automatic calls on a timer, automatic reveal, winner celebration and the next round — on a weekly schedule if you like.
Yes. Custom Bingo lets you build a theme from 25 or more pairs: the thing shown on the TV (text, an image, a video or a YouTube clip with start and end times) and the answer that appears on the card. Local-history bingo, your-own-menu bingo, a sponsor's product line, a 90s one-hit-wonders night — anything you can list.
Five in a row (line), X, four corners and blackout, with an optional free space. A Bingo Night session can chain several rounds with different patterns — a quick line round to warm up, blackout to close.
Up to 150 cards per game, one card per phone. The TV shows the current call, the called list and the join code; everything else happens on your guests' phones.
It's included in your 30-day trial. After that it's part of Pro at $39/month alongside Interactive Trivia. The free plan keeps menus, sports, scheduling and on-screen trivia facts, with occasional ads.
Set up Thursti on one screen this week and run your first bingo night — classic, 80s movies or music — with a caller on the mic or fully automated. If the room doesn't fill up, turn it off. It's free.
