🎉 Behind the Scenes: Our First Trivia + Bingo Night Recap

On May 17th, Kelly’s Art Shack turned into a game-lover’s paradise as we hosted our very first Trivia + Bingo Night — and wow, what a night it was! From clever trivia teams to fast-paced bingo rounds, the Shack was full of laughter, wit, and good vibes.

Here’s a peek at what made the event a hit — and a few things we’re already working on to make the next one even better.


✅ What Went Great

The Host & Vibes

Let’s start with the star of the show — Tanner, our hilarious MC. His quick wit, perfect pacing, and crowd banter kept everyone entertained and engaged all night long.

The Space

The Shack was set up beautifully, with indoor seating that felt cozy but energetic. Whether guests came to play hard or just soak in the fun, the space delivered.

The Tech

The software we used to run the games was on point — smooth, responsive, and easy for everyone to follow.

Promotion & Turnout

Our flyers and messaging worked! We had a solid crowd and a buzz going around town even before the event kicked off.


🚧 What We’re Improving

Game Structure

The open “come anytime” format (4PM to 12AM) was flexible but also a bit too loose. For future events, we’re thinking of adding scheduled game blocks or time-limited rounds so guests know when to arrive and how long to expect to play.

Bingo Speed

A few folks mentioned the bingo rounds were a little too fast. We heard you! We’ll slow things down so everyone can stay in sync and enjoy the fun without rushing.

Prize Planning

While we had fun prizes to give away, we’ll be more structured next time with a set prize list. That way players know what’s up for grabs and we keep the energy high.


🚀 What’s Next

We’re already planning round two — with even better pacing, clear time slots, and some exciting new twists. Expect a standardized prize lineup, slower bingo calling, and the same awesome energy from Tanner and the Shack crew.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. If you missed it — don’t worry, we’ll see you at the next one. 🎤🎱✨
