If this sort technical side of user experience writing is something you could use on your project, I provide consulting.

The Game

In case you’re not familiar with Bingo, the idea is you have a card with a 5 x 5 grid and numbers on it in a random order; someone draws numbers randomly, and if you have that number you mark it off. If you get five squares marked off that form a row, column, or diagonal, then you shout “Bingo!” and win a prize.

This is a satirical game, and really, play it however you want. I came up with the idea after coming up with a list of over a dozen frustrating patterns I noticed around logging into something, just off the top of my head; getting a handful of those in one hour and posting “Bingo!” on my social media. It got me thinking, and I expanded on the idea from there.

Personally, I plan to just keep a running card going and add to it when I encounter a pattern, and to start over every time I get a bingo. You, however, are entirely welcome to do you.
