The bar favorite

Football Bingo: a game inside the game

Game Day Bingo, and Football Bingo most of all, is the most-played premium game at Nightcap bars. Put it on a TV next to the game. Every guest gets a bingo card of plays on their phone, and the squares mark themselves as the plays happen. The first guest to finish a line and tap BINGO! wins the prize you set.

Football, hockey, basketball and baseball

Pick the game from the schedule on the TV: NFL and college football, the NHL, the NBA, the WNBA and college basketball, and MLB. Touchdowns, goals, threes and home runs mark every card from the live play-by-play, a little behind the broadcast so a phone never spoils a play.

Both are in the $49 plan. Run Trivia Night on Tuesday and leave 24/7 Trivia on the rest of the week.

Set up in minutes

You run the bar. Nightcap runs the game.

Put it on the TV

Open one link on the bar's TV, whether that is a Fire Stick, a smart TV, or a laptop. That is the whole install, and it stays on your screen all night.

Patrons scan and play

A QR code sits on the screen. Guests scan it and play from their own phones, with nothing to download and no login.

The AI host takes over

It asks the questions, calls the numbers, cracks the jokes, tracks the scores, and crowns the winners, all in a real voice and hands-free.

Nightcap owner dashboard showing games, specials, and schedule

Your dashboard

One dashboard for every game and every venue

Every game at your bar on one screen: put one on the TV, set your drink specials and prizes, and schedule the night. One bill and one login, whether you run one bar or ten.

Why bars run it

Pack the slow nights without hiring a host

No host to book or pay

The AI runs the entire night with personality and a premium voice. No MC, no scripts, and no no-shows.

Nothing to install

Not for you, not for your guests: they scan a code and they are in. It is the lowest-friction game night your regulars have ever played.

Fills the weeknights

Give people a reason to come in on a Tuesday, and a reason to stay for one more round.

Grows your mailing list

Prize claims and sign-ups capture patron emails into a list you own, right from the games.

One simple dashboard

Put any game on the TV, set your specials and prizes, and schedule the night. One bill and one login for every venue.

Works on the TV you have

Any screen with a browser will do. No hardware to buy, no dedicated device, and no cables to chase down.

About $1.61 a night

$49 a month for every premium game at your bar, less than one hired trivia night.

A live-voice host every night

Not a silent question loop on a screen in the corner.

Every game on one screen

Trivia Night, 24/7 Trivia, bingo, poker, Game Day Bingo and the free crowd games.
