Bingo Jamz Milton Keynes

Bingo Jamz comes to Rumble Rooms on Saturday 14 November, and it's not your usual bingo night. The whole thing is built around throwback R&B, and that's where the twist is: there are no numbers called. Instead, R&B anthems play all night, and that's what you're marking off your card. There are big prizes up for grabs, so it's still a competition, just one where you're listening for the songs rather than waiting for a number.

The music is the main event. The room fills with iconic tracks from artists like Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, Boyz II Men and Usher, so if you spent your nights in the 90s and 2000s with those on repeat, you'll know exactly what to listen for. It's a night for people who'd rather spend their evening singing along to a chorus than staring at a caller's machine.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. It's an over-18s night, and seating is random. You're placed by lead name—first and last name only—so don't use a nickname or a group name when you sign up, as they won't be accepted. If you're coming with a group, you might end up scattered across the room rather than sitting together, which is part of the way it works.

Doors open at 7:00pm, the games kick off at 8:00pm, and the whole thing runs for about three hours. Tickets start from £19, and you'll find Rumble Rooms at 12th Street, Savoy Crescent, Milton Keynes MK9 3PU.
