Creating Digital and Printed Bingo Cards

You can run a Hitmix Music Bingo game using both digital and printed cards at the same time — perfect for hybrid events or mixed audiences.

Follow this step-by-step guide to create and sync both card types safely.

🎵 Step 1: Create Your Playlist

1. Open the Hitmix Music Bingo program on your computer.
2. Create your playlist (for example, Motown Hits ).
3. Save the playlist when finished.

💻 Step 2: Create Digital Bingo Cards

1. In Hitmix Music Bingo, select Create Cards.
2. Choose your playlist from the list (e.g. Motown Hits ).
3. Enter the total number of digital cards you need.

4. Configure your card settings as desired (rows, columns, layout, etc.).

   Click Card Preview to check your design.

   • (Note: The card number will display as 100 by default.)
5. Once satisfied, click Save PDF and save the file to your chosen location.

🌐 Step 3: Register and Upload Cards to Your Host Account

1. Register for a host account at

   👉 https://host.musicbingo.vip/register.php

2. After registering, log in at

   👉 https://host.musicbingo.vip/login.php

3. In your dashboard, go to Add New Game → Select Your Game Card.

   A file browser will open. Navigate to:

   • Mac: /Users/YourUsername/Hitmix Bingo/results/
   • Windows: C:\Users\YourUsername\Hitmix Bingo\results\
4. Find and select the file for your playlist (e.g. Motown Hits_Cards.xml ).
5. Click Open to upload it.

The system will assign a 4-digit code to your playlist (e.g. Motown Hits – Game Code: 1234 ).

🖨 Step 4: Create Printed Bingo Cards

1. Return to the Hitmix Music Bingo program.
2. Click Create Cards again.
3. Select the same playlist (Motown Hits ).
4. Enter the number of printed cards you want to generate.
5. Adjust the card settings as before and click Card Preview.
6. When satisfied, click Save PDF to generate your printable cards.

⚠️ Important:

The software will detect that you’ve already created cards for this playlist and ask:

• New Cards
• Add Cards
• Cancel

You must select Add Cards.

When saving the PDF, give it a new filename (e.g. Motown Hits 1.pdf ) and choose a folder to save it in.

7. Open the saved PDF — you’ll see that the card numbers continue sequentially from where the digital cards ended.

📋 Why This Order Matters

The online system distributes card numbers starting with the lowest available number.

If you don’t create and upload your digital cards first, then add your printed cards, you risk issuing duplicate card numbers to different players — which can cause confusion or invalid results during your game.

💡 Tip:

Always double-check your card numbering before your event. Keeping digital and printed cards in separate, clearly labelled folders can help prevent mix-ups.
