✈ Live Bingo
The aviation spotting game that plays alongside every Airport Streams broadcast.
Watch the stream. Spot the aircraft. Complete your card.
While Airport Streams is live, you get a unique 5×5 Bingo card filled with aviation events. When something happens on camera, your squares automatically stamp — no clicking required.
HOW IT WORKS
Create a free account
Bingo cards are persistent — your card is saved and waits for you if you leave and come back. That means you need a free Airport Streams account. Sign in with Google or create one with your email. It takes about 30 seconds.

Bingo is only active while Airport Streams is broadcasting. Check the stream schedule to know when the next broadcast is, or enable stream notifications so you never miss one. When a stream goes live the BINGO tab appears in the navigation.
Open your card at /live/bingo
Head to /live/bingo while the stream is running. A unique 5×5 card is generated just for you — no two viewers get exactly the same card. The centre square is always a free space.
Keep the Bingo tab open alongside the YouTube stream in another window or on another device. Many viewers watch on the TV and play Bingo on their phone.
Watch the stream — squares stamp automatically
You don't click anything. When an event happens — an ATR lands, a helicopter appears, a go-around occurs — the Airport Streams team confirms it in the Stream Control panel. The server instantly stamps every matching square on every Bingo card simultaneously.
You'll see a brief animation and a notification toast pop up. Rare events get special highlighted toasts.
Complete patterns to win Airport Points
The server checks for winning patterns after every stamp:
You can win multiple patterns in the same stream — each one is awarded separately.
YOUR BINGO CARD EXPLAINED
RARITY COLOURS
CARD DISTRIBUTION
Every card is generated with a fair mix:
No two cards are identical. Events are drawn from the airport-specific pool so Queenstown cards contain helicopter and Remarkables events, while Christchurch cards have A380 and Antarctic aircraft.
AIRPORT POINTS & STREAKS
Airport Points are your platform-wide score across all gamification. They accumulate forever — not just per-stream. Points appear on the leaderboard visible on the Bingo page.
Play Bingo on consecutive Airport Streams broadcasts to build a streak. Miss a stream and it resets.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I have to keep the Bingo page open the whole time? +
Yes — the real-time connection requires the page to be open. If you close it and come back, your card will reload exactly where it was but you may have missed stamps from events that happened while you were away.
Can I tick squares myself? +
No. Squares only stamp when the Airport Streams team confirms an event server-side. This keeps the game fair — everyone's card updates at exactly the same moment.
Is my card different from everyone else's? +
Yes. Each card is randomly generated from the airport's event pool. You might have A320neo while another viewer has A321neo. The distribution of rarities is the same for everyone, but the specific events on your card are unique.
What happens if I miss a stream? +
Your stream streak resets if you miss a broadcast. Individual card progress doesn't carry over — each stream gets a fresh card.
Are members-only cards better? +
No. YouTube members get cosmetic card themes (Economy, Business, First Class designs) but the probability of winning is identical for all players. Bingo is never pay-to-win.
What is the leaderboard based on? +
Total Airport Points accumulated across all streams — not just one session. It resets... never. The longer you play, the higher you climb.
