If you’re into dazzling lights, big cash jackpots, and celebrating wins, this could be your next obsession. Hijingo is a glimpse into the future of bingo, lights, lasers, smoke, robots (Hijingobots), and music.

Here’s all you need to know:

Hijingo Bingo Event Overview

Hijingo tickets

Hijingo Bingo (a play on the word ‘hijinks’) was founded by experiential entertainment innovators James Gordon of London’s Underground Rebel Bingo Club, and Adam Breeden.

You might know their other projects: Bounce (ping pong and a night out) and Puttshack (crazy mini golf and a night out).

The 200-seat Hijingo Bingo venue on Worship Street blends theatrics with classic bingo, to fuse together something far beyond your local bingo hall.

Expect fast-paced games, eccentricity, and a sensory feast with a perfect Instagrammable aesthetic. A truly unique spin on traditional bingo.

What to expect at Hijingo

Lasers. Beats. Bingo. All rolled into one.

Hijingo prizes

Arrive early and grab a drink at the Lucky Cat Bar before entering the red tunnel to the main arena. Each 90-minute show delivers six rounds of bingo featuring AI-driven themes and with help from ‘Ava’ the robotic voice of God coming through booming surround sound.

Hosts keep the crowd on their feet (literally) as music, daubing, and dancing collide. You can sit up to 28 to a table, so expect to mingle – this place is designed for socialising.

There’s no dress code, but don’t forget to bring your energy. Avoid bringing anything bulky because there’s no cloakroom – bags hang from hooks under the table.

Games and Prizes at Hijingo

You came to play and win? Let’s talk.

Featuring six rounds, players compete using two Hijingo cards to match patterns. Shout “HIJINGO!” loudly when you win because a Hijingobot will be looking for you, ready to whisk you to the stage to claim your prize. You can expect three prize levels escalating in scale: think LED tech, big cash jackpots, or even luxury holidays.

The gigantic clock with its impending countdown adds tension as the game narrows down its winner.

Food & Drink Options

Food and drink at Hijingo

Table service food and drinks flow throughout the night.

Expect snack-style bites like edamame (£6), samosas (£7), or chicken skewers (£8.50) plus buns, tacos, and loaded fries. Want drinks? You’ve got them all: cocktails, shots, bottles, soft drinks, mocktails, and more.

There’s something for everyone, whether you’re just sippin’ or going all in.

Q&A With Hijingo Cofounder James Gordon

What is the Hijingo experience?

Hijingo is a glimpse into the future of bingo, lights, lasers, smoke, robots (Hijingobots) and music; it’s a visually intense sensory overload which enhances the already exciting interactive game of bingo.

Why is your event/show different from other live Bingo events?

Hijingo is a dedicated bingo club which means we control the entire experience – cocktails, food, and a completely curated adventure.

Where did the idea for Hijingo come from?

Hijingo is bingo with added ‘Hijinks’. The idea for the brand was a meeting of minds between Social Entertainment Ventures and and State of Play Hospitality. One brought the bingo, the other the first class hospitality experience.

When did you begin running shows/events?

With the Underground Rebel Bingo Club in London in 2008. It started in a Church Hall and ended up in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Beijing, Madrid, Lisbon, and Preston. Everywhere really.

How do you see live bingo continuing to evolve in the next decade?

More lasers, more hype, bigger prizes, and stadium sized bingo arenas. This is not a joke.

Your venue is very tech savvy. Where did the inspiration for a tech show come from?

We wanted to discard any cheeky seaside bingo legacy, or cheeky sentimental references to bingo. To break free from the chains of the past, and the only way to do that is look to the future.
