Startle offer venues free Rock and Roll Bingo for reopening month

Music and technology providers Startle and Rock and Roll Bingo are offering venues a free month of their popular music quiz to help them during the reopening process. 

Clubs can claim 10 free games of Rock and Roll Bingo to host anytime during the month after reopening on May 17, with no ongoing commitment. Startle and Rock and Roll Bingo are also putting on a special, one-off National Game on Friday, May 21, with a £1,000 cash prize for one lucky winner, to encourage high customer participation in this event, as part of a wider, nationwide celebration of hospitality reopening. 

The game is designed as a traffic-builder for on-trade venues and is completely Covid-safe as members play on their phones, at their table, with no need for a host, or pens and paper. 

All that's required for venues to take part in the Get Up Again offer is to download the Rock and Roll Bingo app and register their club, and members play along in the venue through their phones - all explained on the Get Up Again web page. Clubs will receive tokens to host 10 games at a time of their choosing across the month, including the National Game on May 21.

Startle CEO Adam Castleton said: "Clulbs have been pushed to the edge over the last year, and responded with resilience, innovation and, above all, compassion for those in their communities impacted by the pandemic - despite often facing huge uncertainty themselves.  

"We're thanking clubs and their teams for everything they've done to help their communities come through this incredibly tough time, and helping them to celebrate reopening. There's no better way than the light-hearted fun and toe-tapping tracks that so many people have missed while clubs were closed, and we're looking forward to them registering for free games as part of their reopening programme."

Startle and Rock and Roll Bingo are designating Friday, May 21 at 8pm for a National Game, and are encouraging venues to make it part of their broader reopening celebrations with their local communities. 

Castleton said: "If the last year has taught us anything, it's that we're all stronger when we're part of something larger, as so many clubs have shown during the pandemic with their community support. The National Game will see thousands of members playing along together, creating that sense of community across the land. We think it's a fitting way to mark the reopening of clubs as they welcome back their members."
