ABOUT FLIP™ BINGO:

"This is Bingo with a real twist! It's better than traditional bingo. In fact, my group has so much fun playing Flip™ Bingo, we're going to pack the regular bingo cards away! I have observed that not only has it increased socialization skills, but it has also decreased the frustration of recognizing the numbers. Everyone agrees it is easier on the eyes plus an added benefit, I find our clients used their imagination by creating new ways to play!"

The ARC of Mercer County/MCAR, Hermitage, PA

"Congratulations on your wonderful game, Flip™ Bingo. Individuals with low to moderate vision loss have been able to play this game successfully. This had been the first time perhaps in years that some individuals have been able to enjoy Bingo again! It has been exhilarating to watch people who haven't been able to play Bingo for years, playing at least two cards of Flip™ Bingo. The game is a perfect vehicle for socialization and recreation.

Our agency is scheduling this activity on a monthly basis. Thank you!"

– Ann Peterson, VP of Services

"Having examined many patients over the years with Macular Degeneration and other eye problems, I know of their frustrations in not being able to participate in many of their favorite pastimes because of limited vision. This version of BINGO (Flip™ Bingo) is exciting in as much as they are able to once again participate in a game they thought they never could play again."

– Dr. Robert Stein, Ophthalmologist

"I am the Director of Activities with Potomac Homes of New Jersey. We are the pioneer in residential living for those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia-related illnesses throughout New Jersey. I first introduced Flip™ Bingo to our residents a couple of months ago and they adapted to this version with a lot of enthusiasm and required very little assistance. After they became familiar with how it's played, they kept requesting to play it more often. It is so popular around here, I now have Flip™ Bingo on the calendar three times a week! It is so wonderful to see how their quality of life has improved because of this game. One lovely woman, when her family brought her to the home, kept to herself and participated very little in activities. However, because of this game, it gave her the opportunity to open up and she has since really blossomed!

This game is heaven sent, especially for activity directors trying to find a pastime where you have a mixture of individuals at different levels of Alzheimer's and dementia. Seeing for myself with the two skill levels, everyone is able to play - what is so amazing is to see the residents at different skill levels playing together and helping each other out."

ABOUT THE NEW LOW VISION PLAYING CARDS:

"Because I have glaucoma, it is difficult for me to use regular and even other low vision playing cards. I have to keep moving my head to 'search over the card' to find a number and whether it's a club, spade, etc. What I noticed immediately about these playing cards are the numbers really "pop" right out. The cards aren't busy and cluttered - I like the simple contrast making the numbers stand out."
