Biggles Bingo

Who wants to play a rousing game of Biggles Bingo?

[personal profile] rachelmanija, [personal profile] scioscribe and I were playing around with this online bingo card generator and realized you could make a really fun bingo card - in the style of Hurt/Comfort Bingo and others - using a list of things that appear in the Biggles books. So that is exactly what this is.

Sample card below! Yours will look like this, but with a somewhat different selection of prompts. (Click the arrow to see the card.)


Sample Card
Taken hostage Secret Ruritanian royalty Downed behind enemy lines Concussion Secret island base
Disguises Gunshot wound A mysterious poison Crustaceans Snakes on a plane
Flirting with the enemy Lost in the desert WILD CARD Daring escape Broken leg
Naked and dripping wet Giant squid Nerves Bird flying into airplane engine Castles
Water landing Mistaking your friend for an enemy A mysterious coded postcard Sent to a gulag Presumed dead




Comment below to receive your own 5x5 bingo card! You can do whatever you like with it: use it for creative inspiration (for Biggles or any other fandom), show it off, laugh at it, play party games with it. You can use the prompts as literally or figuratively as you like; they mean what you want them to mean.

Some people like to try to make a bingo by filling prompts in a line across their card (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal). The Hurt/Comfort Bingo page has some other possible shapes. You could also write adjacent prompts into the same fic, or use all the prompts in a line together, or see how many of the prompts on your card you can get into one fic ... whatever you think is fun.

"Wild Card" is a free space. You can put any prompt there or leave it blank.

You have a very important omission from your list of prompts! It can’t be Biggles Bingo if there are no ejaculations...

May I have a card, please?

I would like to veto the Ruritanian ones, as well as pirates, stowaway and flogging.

All the prompts look great, but I'm especially delighted to see decapods and electric centipedes on the list.

In for a penny in for pound. Not sure how many I can fulfill, but at the risk of being accused of using too many cliches, nothing ventured , nothing gained

Obviously, I'm ever so late to this party, but there doesn't seem to be an expiry date, and the prompts make me cackle, so if this is still a thing, may I have one? :)

I'd like to veto the creepy crawlies, please:
decapods, electric centipedes, staked out for ants
