Moonshots Bingo · a fan game
Build a bingo card for the next episode.
Pick 24 things you think the Moonshots panel will say — Dyson swarm, longevity escape velocity, energy abundance. When the next episode drops, we score your card against the transcript. The rarer your pick, the more points it earns.
The next episode is open for cards.
The latest episode has aired. Its cards are locked and waiting to be scored.
The latest results are provisional.
How the points work
Rare picks = more points
A square is worth more the less often the panel actually says it. “Dyson swarm” turns up in most episodes, so it scores low. Something they have said twice in two years scores high.
Measured, not guessed
We transcribe the last 25 episodes and count how many of them each phrase appears in. That count sets the points. Nobody sits down and decides a tile feels rare.
The board moves
Every scored episode shifts the window forward, so a phrase the panel starts saying is worth fewer points and one they drop is worth more. Each square's point value is locked in when the episode freezes.
Tiles are banded by how much they score: Staple, Common, Occasional, Rare, Very rare, and Moonshot for a phrase that has not come up in the whole window.
How it works
Step 1
Build your card
Draw a 5×5 card of things the panel might say. Rarer picks are worth more points.
Step 2
The episode drops
Cards lock the moment the episode publishes — no late edits make it in. Lock yours in early if you're already happy with it.
Step 3
The transcript scores it
We run the transcript against every card and post the results.
FAQ
Is Moonshots Bingo affiliated with the Moonshots podcast?
No. Moonshots Bingo is an independent fan project. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Moonshots podcast, Peter Diamandis, or any of the show's panelists.
How do you play Moonshots Bingo?
Build a 5×5 card of predictions before the next episode airs. Cards lock the moment the episode publishes, so no edits make it in after that. Once the transcript is in, every card is scored against it.
How is scoring calculated?
Each pick is worth more the less often the panel actually says it. We transcribe the most recent 25 episodes and count how many of them each phrase appears in — that count sets the points, not a guess. The window shifts forward with every newly scored episode.
