London is jam-packed with crazy nights out. You’ve got casinos, bingo halls, plenty of nightclubs and backstreet raves you probably never knew existed. There are many unusual things waiting to be discovered, from drinking coffee in a Victorian toilet to kayaking down the River Thames, the possibilities are endless…
…and now that list of weird things to do is about to get a whole lot bigger. Shoreditch is set to become the host for the latest quirky attraction hitting London’s nightlife circuit – bingo.
Okay, so bingo isn’t exactly a new concept and the popular numbers game is evolving at an unprecedented rate. We have drag bingo, gingo (involved drinking the spirit), Bongo’s bingo, flamingo bingo and now Hijingo!
Celebrity Status
Hijingo sets out to combine traditional bingo games with high-spec production and theatrical visuals. The creators behind the pimped-up bingo hall in London have worked with some very high-profile celebs in the past; Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga to name a few, so you can expect big things from each session.
The 8,000 square-foot unit can welcome as many as 200 bingo players, plus there is a VIP area for another 30 dabbers. Bingo and drinking go hand in hand with events like this, which is why you’ll find two bars and a selection of Asian-inspired dishes.
A full session will set you back £19 per person and includes two games lasting approximately 30-minutes each. An interval of 20-minutes will separate the two sessions. Eyes down will commence from March 16th.
About Hijingo
The new bingo brand is basically bingo with a pulse. Still very much a game of chance, this one is for lovers of unpredictability. The experience is very much what you’d expect from a night on the town, only you won’t be partying the night away like some of the other far-out there bingo sessions. No skill required; hear a bingo number and cross it off your ticket if you have it. Cross all the right numbers and shout ‘Hijingo’ and the prize is all yours.

Not another nightclub/bingo experience. I think they should keep the two separate! If you want to play bingo, find a club – there’s loads out there and you can socialise and rink too!
