80s music bingo
Forty big hits from the 1980s, from synth-pop to stadium rock. Play the first 20 to 30 seconds of each song and let the room shout the title.
Tips for pub quiz hosts and party hosts
- Show only the titles on the cards so players have to recognise each song.
- Keep a prize for the first full line and a bigger one for a full card.
- Play the songs in the order on the play-order sheet so you can check winners quickly.
