Not Your Grandma's Bingo Night


You’ve probably thought about going to "Bingo Night" since you discovered Atlantic City and alcohol, but you've probably never heard of The Underground Bingo Club either. Apparently every week, across the world, thousands of party people descend on cleverly disguised meetings of said club in cities as far afield (thats British-speak for far) as London, New York, and Madrid. People come to drink, dance, scream and shout - but above all - to play hardcore Rebel Bingo and win weird prizes. What started as a few drunken friends messing around with a bingo kit in a London basement has now become a global underground revolution.

On July 15th,  The Underground Rebel Bingo Club is coming to Philadelphia for one night, before they disappear into the shadows, and possibly obscurity, again. 

It’s bingo, sort of, but not like you’ve seen it before. They made up our own rules, because they don't know how to play ACTUAL bingo. This is Rebel Bingo. It's not nice and it's not fair. Do not bring your grandma. Find a cover story and stick to it, because you won't want anyone knowing where you are. In fact, the location is usually kept secret until the night of the party, but Philly Hub has the scoop: It's at the Blockley.

If you want to be a part of the revolution, seek the club out between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Friday. Tickets range between $4 and $10 - if you get them now, they'll cost less and you'll have more time to come up with your cover story. GET A FREE PAIR OF TICKETS, maybe, if you TWEET this link: http://bit.ly/p0gLBP. Random winner will know on Friday if they've won.

A night of dancing, drinking…….and hardcore rebel bingo. It involves markers. Like a highlighter party, but upgraded.
To be the first to find out how to get into The Underground Rebel Bingo Club - Philadelphia, check out the event on facebook or twitter.  

Just don’t tell anyone about it.
