How ResolutionBingo Works

ResolutionBingo turns your New Year's resolutions into an addictive game you'll actually want to play. Here's exactly how it works, step by step.

Sign Up (Free Forever)

Create your free account in under 30 seconds. No credit card required. No hidden fees. Ever.

When you create a card, you'll choose:

Solo Card: Track your resolutions privately. Compete only with yourself.
Group Card: Build a card with friends, family, or coworkers. Everyone works on the same resolutions and competes to see who can complete the most.

Every bingo card needs 25 resolutions. Here's how you fill yours:

Browse Categories: Click through categories like Fitness, Career, Personal Growth, Relationships, Learning, and more.
Select Preseeded Resolutions: We've curated hundreds of popular resolutions. Click any that resonate with you. A progress bar shows how close you are to 25.
Add Custom Resolutions: Want something specific? Add your own custom resolutions to make the card truly yours.
Watch Your Progress: As you select resolutions, a progress bar fills up. Once you hit 25, you're ready to finalize.

For Group Cards:

When you create a group card, you'll get a shareable link to invite friends.
Collaborative Building: Everyone joins a shared building space where they can suggest resolutions, vote on suggestions from others, and see the live progress bar.
Admin Finalizes: When the group admin hits "Finalize," the top 25 voted resolutions become the official card.
Everyone Gets the Same Card: The system randomizes those 25 resolutions into a 5x5 bingo grid. Every group member starts with the exact same card layout.

Hit the "Finalize" button and watch the magic happen:

The system randomly arranges your 25 resolutions into a 5x5 bingo grid. Every card is unique.

Optional: Free Square or Custom Center

Before finalizing, you can choose:

Free Square: The center square is automatically marked complete (like traditional bingo).
Custom Center Square: Pick one of your resolutions to place in the center for emphasis.

If you don't select either option, the center square works like any other square.

After your card is finalized, you'll land on your dashboard.

Dashboard View:

Your dashboard is split into two sections:

You can have unlimited cards active at once. Mix and match solo goals with group challenges.

Click any card to open it and see your 5x5 grid.

Marking Resolutions Complete: When you complete a resolution, click the square. You'll see a confirmation screen to make sure it wasn't an accident. Once confirmed, the square is marked with a checkmark.
Changed Your Mind? Click the square again to unmark it. Life happens—we get it.
Build Streaks: The more consistently you mark off squares, the more momentum you build.

What's a Bingo?

Complete 5 squares in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—and you've got a bingo!

Celebration Time: When you mark the square that completes a bingo, you'll see a celebration animation and a congratulations popup.
Keep Playing: Getting a bingo doesn't end the game. Keep marking off squares to rack up multiple bingos on the same card. Some cards have dozens of possible bingo combinations!
Completed Cards Stay Visible: Your finished cards remain on your dashboard so you can look back on your wins anytime.

Individual Progress on Shared Goals: Even though everyone in the group has the same card, each person marks their own progress. You're all working toward the same resolutions but competing to see who completes the most.
Group Leaderboard: Every group has a leaderboard showing each member's total completed squares (e.g., "Sarah: 18/25"). Click any player's name to see their card and which squares they've completed.
Bingo Notifications: When someone in your group gets a bingo, everyone gets notified. Celebrate each other's wins and stay motivated.
Friendly Competition: The leaderboard updates in real-time. See who's crushing it and use it as fuel to keep going.

Create New Cards: You can start a new card anytime—whether you've completed your current one or just want a fresh challenge.
Old Cards Stay Visible: All your completed and in-progress cards remain on your dashboard. Track your growth over time and revisit past wins.
No Limits: There's no cap on how many cards you can create. Play as much or as little as you want.
