Bingo, Remixed
We don’t call B‑12. We drop the needle on the hits you forgot you loved. Mark the song on your card, line it up, shout it out. Win prizes. Stay for the dance battle.
How to play
Same rules as the bingo your grandma plays. The host calls songs instead of numbers, the DJ plays them, and every card is unique. First to line up five wins the round. We run three rounds a night, then close with a dance battle.
Each player gets a unique 5×5 card. Every square is a song title pulled from that night’s theme, 90s R&B, 2000s Hip‑Hop, Michael Jackson, 80s Throwbacks. Sixty songs in the pool. Twenty‑four on your card. One free space in the middle.
Thirty to sixty seconds of a track. No host calling B‑12. If the song is on your card, you mark the square. If it’s not, you sing along until the next one drops. Could be Thriller. Could be No Scrubs. Could be a deep cut.
Five in a row, column, diagonal, or four corners. First person to a line yells “BINGO” (or “THRILLER,” or whatever the night’s call phrase is). Host confirms, the room cheers, the round closes.
Prizes every round, bar tabs, merch, brand samples. New cards between rounds. After round six, the cards go away and the last hour is a full dance off with hosts picking a champion.
Themes we run
90s R&B · 2000s Hip‑Hop · Michael Jackson · 80s Throwbacks · Quiet Storm · Y2K Pop. New themes drop monthly.
Pace of the night
Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights, start times vary by venue, so check the events page. Three rounds spread across about three hours, then a dance battle to close.
What to bring
Yourself, your ID (twenty‑one and over), and the lyrics you forgot you knew. Cards, daubers, and the soundtrack are on us.
Between the rounds
Cards down, lights up. Hosts pull people out of their seats for a quick battle and the winner walks away with another prize. Sit it out and you get a front‑row seat to whoever’s brave enough.
Two players, one beat, thirty seconds each. The room votes with applause and the host has the tiebreak. We close every night on a full dance battle, but smaller ones pop up between rounds too.
One song, one hook, no points for shyness. We hand over the mic and you give us the music video. Best performance takes a bar tab or something off the prize shelf.
The whole room becomes the chorus. Loudest table on the hook wins a round of shots or an extra prize draw. If you came with your crew, this is where they earn their keep.
See it in action
An 80s R&B card mid-round. Songs daub themselves once the DJ plays them. You yell “Take Me Back” when you line up five. Free in your browser, no signup.
The short answers
Take Me Back Bingo Nights™ is a live hip-hop and R&B music bingo experience hosted across New York and New Jersey, with private bookings nationwide. The brand pulls from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s catalogs specifically: players mark song titles on a 5×5 card instead of numbers, the DJ plays 30‑second clips of throwback hits, and the first player to line up five squares yells “TAKE ME BACK” to win the round. Operated by High Class Experience LLC, Take Me Back Bingo Nights pairs a comedian-hosted format (Comedian Talent of Def Comedy Jam, BET’s Comic View, and The Apollo) with DJ Tameil on the decks. The brand differs from generic music bingo brands by anchoring to hip-hop and R&B culture and running dance battles, lip sync wars, and sing‑alongs between bingo rounds for additional prizes.

For private bookings, Take Me Back Bingo Nights builds a custom song pool tuned to the guest of honor’s era or favorite artists, runs two themed bingo rounds with custom prizes, and offers a lip sync war or dance battle on request. Each booking includes the host, the DJ, the cards, daubers, and sound system. Sessions run about three hours. Pricing varies by group size and travel distance from NYC; 50% deposit holds the date.

FAQ · Liner Notes
Everything you wanted to ask before buying a ticket to a Take Me Back Bingo night. Still curious? Send us a note.
Music bingo works like classic bingo, but instead of numbers the DJ plays a 30-second clip of a song and the title appears on your card. Mark off songs as you hear them. First player to line up five in a row, column, or diagonal yells the call phrase and wins the round. We run three rounds a night.
No, the song title appears on the screen behind the host, so you just match it to the squares on your card. You’re playing bingo, not Shazam. Knowing the words is a bonus for singing along, not a requirement for winning.
