Garfield’s Bingo follows the same rules as standard Bingo. Each Bingo card is divided into 25 spaces, in 5 rows and 5 columns. The center square of each card is a free space and is already daubed. The columns are labeled BINGO and each of the squares are randomly numbered from 1 – 75. In the center of the screen Bingo balls are called, each showing a letter and a number underneath (i.e. G20, I15 or N75). Your goal is to daub (mark) each of the squares on your card that match the number shown on the Bingo balls. Score a BINGO by marking off the 4 corners on a card, or a straight, vertical, or diagonal line with 5 numbered spaces.

In levels with a Pattern Bingo, you have to daub the shape of the Pattern on the Bingo Card in order to claim the Bingo.

In levels with Bingo Combo objectives, you have to call multiple Bingos that overlap. For instance, a Double Combo objective requires you to intersect 2 Bingos on the same Bingo Card.

The Mystery Ball is a special ball that will appear during a level. Tap on it to release bonuses onto your cards. These bonuses will be activated if they are daubed.

Many levels have bingo combos, or patterns and you will need to do something special to get the WIN! Also be sure that you are not calling a Bad Bingo. Check that all the numbers you have daubed have indeed been called, and that you have cleared any blockers that may be preventing you from getting a bingo! To learn more about Blockers please read the Blockers section of this FAQ.

Oh no! Please contact our support team by pushing the Feedback button in Garfield’s Bingo’s Option menu! In the message, let us know the date of purchase, what you bought, and how much it cost. Alternatively, you can contact us at support@garfieldsbingo.com. Our support team will help you ASAP.

If you haven’t met the requirement for calling Bingo, Nermal will appear on your card to taunt you. There are no other punishments for calling a bad bingo. If this happens, make sure you have daubed all the correct numbers and have cleared any blockers that may be preventing you from getting a Bingo!

Blockers on your Bingo Cards hinder your progress by not allowing you to daub a spot. Clear the Blocker when the number is called.

There are 6 different blockers that you will encounter in Garfield’s Bingo. They include: Sand, Mud, Grass, Ice, Balls of Yarn, and Newspapers.

In order to clear these blockers, you must daub on any adjacent square.

Daub on the Ball of Yarn to weaken the blocker or clear them from your Bingo Card, depending on the strength of the blocker.

Newspapers are the most difficult blocker to clear. Daubing on the Newspaper will move it to another square on your Bingo card. With each successful daub, the Newspaper will become flimsier, and the final daub will clear the Newspaper.

Each Garfield character will have their own unique set of collection items that you will need to collect in order to activate them. You must first unlock the character to reveal the collection items required to rescue it.

Once all the items have been collected, you can activate the character. Once you have activated a character, you can make use of its abilities to help you win!

You can get collection items by:

Getting 3-stars on a Level.

Winning the item by spinning the Wheel.

Requesting the item and receiving it from your friends as a Gift

Garfield’s Bingo is Bingo with a Twist! While Garfield’s Bingo follows the standard bingo rules, you can also use Powerplays that will help you complete levels. Each character you activate will have a Powerplay or a Supporter skill to help you win! Strategically choose Powerplays to create your perfect team before you start each level.

Lasagnas are used for activating Powerplays. Successfully fill the Powerplay meter, and then feed your character a Lasagna to use their Powerplay.

You fill your Powerplay meter by successfully daubing squares.

There are 12 characters that have Powerplays. These characters can be selected Pre-game to be put onto your team.

There are 3 different kinds of Powerplays: Automatic, Active, and Wait Powerplays.

An automatic Powerplay activates automatically when you tap the Powerplay icon.

An active Powerplay requires you to select a card or square in order to use it.

A wait Powerplay will mark a square, and you will need to successfully daub this square to receive the Powerplay’s benefits.

There are 7 Supporter characters, each with a special skill that will help you along your journey. Activate these characters to unlock their skill.

Supporter characters unlock skills such as extra slots for your Powerplay team, various types of score increases, the chance to start the levels with a free daub or bonus on your card, and MUCH MORE!

Bonuses are rewarded through the Mystery Ball. There is also a chance of getting bonuses at the start of the round if you have rescued a Supporter character (These are Garfield characters that do not have Powerplays). Also, extra bonuses are given with a Bonus Bingo purchase.

When it is daubed, a Spin bonus gives you free spins on the Wheel.

When it is daubed, a Score bonus will give you 100 extra points!

When it is daubed, the Powerplay Meter bonus fills up the Powerplay meter instantly so you can use a Powerplay!

Bomb Bonuses are not awarded through the Mystery Ball, but as a part of a Powerplay. This bonus places a bomb upon a random square. Daubing the bomb will result in an explosion of daubs. All squares surrounding the bomb will be daubed.

The Instant Bingo Bonus is not awarded through the Mystery Ball, but as a part of a Powerplay. This bonus will daub either a vertical or horizontal line of daubs from the Instant Bingo Bonus spot.
