Recchia, who developed concept, said users put in the names of select bars, favorite drinks and challenges. The app then mixes up the information into a bingo board with an infinite number of possibilities.

Any number of people can participate and each player will have a unique board with 16 spaces. The objective of the game is to complete a row of bars.

For example, a square on the board might prompt one player to take a shot of tequila at Rick’s American Café, while a different player might have to take a shot at The Riv.

The app, available for free on iTunes and Google Play, also features challenges at certain bars, such as getting somebody’s phone number, requesting a song or singing karaoke.

“If you wanted to play (a drinking game) when you were going out, you had to carry dice, or quarters, or cards,” Recchia said. “This allows anyone who goes out to play.”

If a user does not have the proper phone to support the app, they also can open the game on the website, barcrawlbingo.com.

All players need to participate is a user name, the name of the bar crawl and a password. Recchia said the game tracks each of the players and records who wins first place during each crawl.

The duo drew inspiration from their time at MSU to create the game.

Recchia said he and his friends were big fans of drinking games during their undergraduate years. Recchia graduated in 2010 and Sundberg graduated in 2011. However, they noticed there were not any apps for drinking games.

“If you go into the app stores and look for apps specifically for drinking games, you get some app that brings up 52 drinking games,” Recchia said. “We always really felt that drinking games were neglected in the app stores.”

After coming up with a concept, Recchia and Sundberg, the developer and graphic designer, began working on the app a year ago.

“The biggest thing (in designing it was) how the usability (was) in terms of people who were going to be drinking, and how to make it very easy for them to use,” Sundberg said.

While the app will not be officially launched until Friday, it already has 30 downloads as of Tuesday, and Sundberg has received positive feedback.

Taylor Hughes, an advertising junior, said she would definitely download the app.

“I think it sounds fun,” Hughes said. “I love bar crawls.”

Recchia said while no official plans have been made yet, they want to launch the app by holding a bar crawl of their own in East Lansing.

“Anyone can play that game,” Recchia said, who is hoping that he or Sundberg gets the top score when they play Bar Crawl Bingo in East Lansing.
