Newtown Area Restaurant BINGO!

Working Together with Residents, Local Businesses Can Survive COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic mitigation efforts are having a devastating impact on Newtown Area businesses – but especially restaurants that cannot “work from home” or do business via Zoom!

During this trying time, restaurants need help generating business. That is why several restaurants in the Newtown area have decided to host a “contest” based on “Tempe Bingo” – a game developed by a Tempe, NV, brewery, whereby restaurants can cross-promote each other.

Here is the basic idea:

  • 25 restaurants will participate, each with a square on the BINGO GAME card.
  • Each restaurant will promote the BINGO GAME on their website, at their location and link to the official virtual BINGO GAME card that residents/game players can download.
  • To play the game and achieve BINGO!, players must order a meal of a minimum specific value from 5 restaurants all in one row, column, or diagonal of the card. No player can claim more than one BINGO! per day.
  • There will be 5 winners who must achieve BINGO! and submit proof of purchases to win.
  • Each winner gets 2 free meals of equal or lesser value based on their 5 restaurants on the BINGO GAME card.
  • Other prizes may be awarded for filling the entire BINGO GAME card.

There are NO out of pocket upfront costs to restaurants or players who participate in Newtown Area Restaurant BINGO!

This contest is hosted by East Coast Event Group. At least half a dozen restaurants/eateries have already signed up to participate as of 5/5/20. We need 25 to fill the game card!
