BINGO
Bingo is an absolute staple at Babson. It's one of our highest attending events and certainly a fan favorite of students.
During quarantine, I had to transition everything to a virtual setting and determine strategies to prevent cheating, non Babson students from playing, and other possible technological loopholes from occurring.
Post-pandemic, we've taken advantage of this high attendance event by adding in small mini games between rounds that aren't substantial enough on their own, but things we've always wanted to do. Two of my favorites are the adrenaline rush of musical chairs and the creativity of the Halloween Bingo costume contest!
A big draw to this event is certainly the prizes and the energy.
Popular Grand Prizes Include: iPad, electric scooter, concert tickets, airline vouchers
Average Attendance: 300-425
Average Budget: $1,000
