I'm surprised that no-one's mentioned this yet.

Draw up a bingo card for each player with a number of jargon phrases from your line of business - preferably management speak kind of stuff (like "unique selling point" or, my personal bugbear "touch base") or cliches etc. Whenever you hear one, you cross it off your card. Prizes for the first with all four corners, lines, full house etc

We didn't use the term buzz-word,

Anyone who works in an office should read the little book of management b*****ks.

PQ <management information analyst>

Where can I get a copy of that book, PQ?

Tony Jefferrino

I got my copy (now given away as a present...going to restock in the january sales) from books online (bol), I only got it because I was entitled to a free book through ipoints, its frighteningly accurate
I would imagine most of the major online shops would have it (amazon etc).

I bet it is. If it's anything like The Office then it'll be right on the mark. Getting that on DVD for Xmas, by the way. I bet you're jealous. Oh yes you are, etc...

We play a similar game called 'briefing bingo'.
'Bingo cards were first made using staff photos and quite simply as people speak in the daily briefings at college, you cross them off the cards. It has be known that some will resort to underhanded tactics to get people to speak. one of those on the cards are allowed to play. Most of them don't even know it exists! 10p in the pot and winner takes all gives it a bit of an edge and ofcourse there is a 'card of death' that can never win!
