The order to do it in
How to make your Custingo
Follow these steps in order and your game comes out right the first time.
- 1
Pick your photos
Choose 24 to 48 photos with one clear subject each: people, pets, places and big moments. 36 is the sweet spot, because it fills 3 full sheets of calling cards.
- 2
Make it yours
Add your photos, title and logo in steps 1 to 3. Tap a photo to center a face or add a name.
- 3
Buy and unlock
Press Buy & Unlock for $4.99. After checkout the watermark comes off by itself. Bought on Etsy? Enter your code instead.
- 4
Get card stock
Step 5 tells you exactly how many sheets your set needs. Get a couple of extra for a test print.
- 5
Print the alignment test
One page, once per printer. It makes the logos on the backs line up with the fronts.
- 6
Print everything
Download everything and print it two-sided, in color, at Actual size.
- 7
Cut
Cut the calling cards and markers on the dashed lines. A paper trimmer makes it quick and straight.
- 8
Play
Hand out the boards and markers, pick a way to play, and call the first photo.
Coming soon
Even easier, very soon
We're working on two new features to make your bingo even faster to put together.
AI photo picker
Add a whole bunch of photos and AI picks the best ones for your bingo, crops each one around the faces, and writes a caption under every picture.
Google Drive
Connect your Google Drive and add family photos straight from your albums, with no downloading needed.
Why families love it
Your photos deserve more than a phone gallery
Most family photos sit in albums and phones where nobody looks at them. Custingo is where pictures go next: off the phone and onto the table, where everyone can see them, laugh about them and remember together.
A story in every square
Each call is a photo, and each photo starts a story: the wedding day, the old house, the first car, the haircut nobody will let Dad forget.
Every generation plays
Little kids match pictures, teens see their parents at their age, and grandparents finally get to tell the stories behind the photos.
Made for your gatherings
Shabbat and holiday tables, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, showers, bar and bat mitzvahs, sleepovers and rainy afternoons.
A gift nobody else has
Make a set for the grandparents, a milestone birthday or an anniversary. No store sells a game with your family in it.
Easy to make
Upload, personalize, print and cut. Custingo does the shuffling and the layout, so every board is different and every sheet is used.
Your photos stay yours
Everything happens in your browser, on your own device. Your photos are never uploaded to us.
Ways to play
One set, lots of games
Announce the winning pattern before each round and mix them up to keep everyone at the table.
Classic line
Five in a row across, down or corner to corner. The free center counts.
Four corners
Cover the four corner squares. A quick round for little kids.
Picture frame
Cover every square around the outside edge, like framing a photo.
Big X
Cover both diagonals. Harder than it looks.
Blackout
Cover the whole board. The longest game, perfect for the last round.
Twists that make it even more fun
- Guess who. Use baby photos without names. Players have to work out who it is before they can cover it.
- Caption only. The caller reads the name or caption out loud without showing the card.
- Story time. Whoever remembers the moment tells the story before the next photo is called.
- Teams. Pair little kids with grandparents or older cousins, one board per team.
- Then and now. Mix old and new photos of the same people and see who spots them first.
- Prizes. Candy, chocolate coins or first pick of dessert make every round exciting.
- Big screen. On a regular weekday you can skip the calling cards: open the caller screen on a TV or laptop and press Next photo. It checks winning boards too.
Printing help
Two-sided and perfectly lined up
Most home printers can do this. Follow these steps and the logo on the back lands right behind every board and card.
- Check that your printer prints on both sides. Look for "two-sided", "duplex" or "print on both sides" in your print window. Don't see it? Follow "One side only" below.
- Load card stock. 65 to 110 lb (176 to 300 g/m²). Check the heaviest paper your printer takes; many printers feed card stock best from the rear or manual tray.
- Match the paper size. Choose Letter or A4 in step 5 so it matches the paper in your printer.
- Print the alignment test first. One page, once per printer, in step 5 under "Line up the backs". It measures your printer so the backs line up exactly.
- Use these print settings. Actual size or 100% (never Fit to page or Shrink), two-sided, flip on long edge, color, best quality.
- Check one sheet first. Print one board, hold it up to a window, and check that the logo sits right behind the board. Then print the rest.
One side only?
- In step 5, choose One side only.
- Make a small pencil mark on the top edge of the paper stack so you can see which way it goes through.
- Download and print the Fronts.
- Put the printed stack back in the tray, turned the way your printer needs. Test with one plain sheet first.
- Download and print the Backs on the same sheets, in the same order.
If something looks off
- Backs upside down: in step 5, switch "Flip pages on the" to Short edge.
- Backs a little to one side: do the alignment test in step 5.
- Everything printed smaller: the printer used Fit to page. Choose Actual size.
- Edges cut off: make the margins bigger in step 5, under More print options.
- Card stock jams: use the rear or manual tray and feed one sheet at a time.
Our recommendations
For the best results
This is what we use and recommend for a bingo set that looks and feels great.
- Letter paper8.5 × 11 in. Custingo is designed for it. Choose A4 only if that's what your printer uses.
- Card stock65 to 110 lb (176 to 300 g/m²), matte. Thin paper bends and photos show through.
- 36 photosFills 3 full sheets of calling cards and makes every board different.
- Clear, close-up photosOne person, pet or place per photo. Faces work best.
- Two-sided printingAt Actual size, flip on long edge. Print the alignment test once first.
- A paper trimmerStraight cuts in seconds. Scissors work too.
- Sheet protectorsThey keep the boards clean for the next gathering.
- Shabbat and holidaysPrint and cut everything beforehand. Paper markers mean no pens or screens.

Questions
How do I unlock the clean PDFs?
Press Buy & Unlock ($4.99). Square's secure checkout opens in a new window or tab. When you've paid, the watermark comes off by itself, with your photos still in place. Bought on Etsy? Enter the code from your purchase instead.
I paid, but I still see the watermark.
Your purchase unlocks the browser you paid in. If you paid on a different phone, computer or browser, make your bingo there. Still stuck? Email us your Square receipt and we'll help right away.
How many photos do I need?
At least 24, the number of photos on one board. 36 is ideal: the boards differ more from each other and the calling cards fill 3 full sheets. Step 1 tells you how many to add or remove so no sheet has empty spots.
Is every board different?
Yes. Each board gets its own random mix, and every photo shows up on about the same number of boards.
Where do my photos go?
Nowhere. Custingo works in your browser on your own device. Your photos are never uploaded to us, and they stay saved in this browser so you can come back later.
What printer do I need?
Any home color printer that takes card stock. Two-sided printing makes it easiest, but it works with one-sided printers too. See Printing help above.
My Etsy code doesn't work.
Check the code for typos. Capital letters and spaces don't matter. Still stuck? Email us with your Etsy order number and we'll sort it out.
