Music bingo › Reunion
Music bingo at a reunion
At a reunion the first half hour is always the same: people look for the faces they recognise and everyone else hovers at the edges. Music from that era breaks the ice faster than anything, because everyone has the same songs in their head.
Pick the hits from exactly the years you knew each other: the school period, the student years or the time at the same employer. Every song is an instant reason for a story.

Define the years sharply
Only use music from the years you actually shared. That sharp boundary is what makes it strong: a song from two years later does not belong, and everyone notices.
Leave room for the stories
Play at a slower pace than usual and pause after a particularly recognisable song. At a reunion the conversation a song unlocks matters more than the tempo of the game.
Small card, longer evening
Choose a 3 by 3 card so somebody wins quickly, and play several short rounds spread across the evening. That leaves plenty of time to catch up in between.
