Whether you're watching on your own, with family, or with friends - make sure you've all got your Luxembourg Song Contest bingo cards ready!
You read that right, folks - there's more to LSC than just music, singing, and dancing of unparalleled international quality: there's also BINGO!
"Ok.. so how does that work?"
A little more enthusiasm wouldn't hurt, you know, but I'll tell you nonetheless. These contests are known for their flamboyance, unpredictability, cheesiness, and questionable outfits. We're counting on the first edition of LSC being no different (we've not seen the acts either)!
So, to add to the fun, we came up with a bingo game wherein you have to keep an eye out for, say, pyrotechnics, our royal family, cheesy winking at the camera, and costume changes. Once you spot one of the items on your bingo card on screen, you get to check it off. As with classic bingo, you've won once you've checked off for boxes in a row (horizontally or vertically, please, none of this diagonal nonsense).
"Sounds fantastic! What can I win?"
Glad to see you found that enthusiasm we were looking for! The good news is that you can win anything you want! The bad news is that we won't be providing it. This is just for laughs, though you can of course arrange prizes within your own family or other viewing party constellations.
We'd also love to hear from you and see evidence of your wins on the night itself - you can send photos or texts to 621 52 5000, or contenttoday@rtl.lu. The former is the number for Today Radio, where Melissa Dalton and Sarah Tapp will be in the studio to provide our live (audio and video) commentary in English, while the latter goes straight to our editorial desk and Alannah Meyrath and Jeana Evans who'll be on live blog duty.
"How do I get a bingo card?"
Couldn't be easier! Just look right below this paragraph and you'll see a randomly generated card - hit "download" to get it as a PDF, and you can print it off at home (or work, to save the cost of ink! We won't tell if you don't). Want more cards? Just hit refresh and a new version will be generated - and do make sure to refresh for every card you need, as you don't want to players with identical ones!
Additionally, gear up for an extended version of Talking Music on Today radio tomorrow morning from 9-11, showcasing all the interviews Melissa conducted with the artists. Elevate your Eurovision experience by not only playing our ESC bingo but also diving deeper into the insights and stories behind the captivating performances!
