Create a winter adventure with the Downtown Dayton Bingo game

The Downtown Dayton Partnership (DDP) is excited to debut a new way to explore downtown and create a citywide adventure with the Downtown Dayton Winter Bingo card. The game will begin on Thursday, January 7, and players can complete a bingo of challenges for the chance to win downtown Dayton prizes throughout the next month.

Players will complete “challenges” that will have them exploring downtown Dayton dining, arts, culture, shopping and entertainment. The challenges include opportunities to explore in-person following social-distancing guidelines, or tasks that can be completed online from home. If they complete five challenges in a row on the game card  to make a “bingo,” players can submit their card into the drawing to win prizes. Join in the fun at our Facebook event page here.

“We hope people take the chance to explore downtown, support our small business community, learn about a new spot in downtown Dayton, and continue to safely visit downtown restaurants, shops, arts galleries and more in the new year” said Sandra K. Gudorf, president of the Downtown Dayton Partnership.

The full bingo board of challenges is available at the Downtown Dayton Winter Bingo page of the DDP website and on the Facebook event page.
