Sometimes you may want to shuffle the squares in your bingo game. This can be useful if you want to clone your experience but would like different square orders in the cloned game or if you simply want to shuffle the squares you've already added.
The Shuffle Bingo Squares button randomizes the order of your squares.
Shuffling Bingo Squares
From the Experience Dashboard and on the blue Bingo Setup tab, click on the gray Square Tools button on the right-hand side. This opens up a menu with various square tools. Click on the light purple Shuffle Bingo Squares button.
Shuffle Questions tool on the Experience Dashboard
Simply click the Shuffle All Questions button to perform a shuffle for all your existing questions.

Shuffle Across Columns
By default, the Shuffle Across Columns Too? setting is enabled on the Shuffle Squares module displayed above. When enabled, shuffling all squares will also shuffle them across different columns.
Shuffle Across Columns? option is enabled
If you disable this setting, then Crowdpurr will only shuffle the squares within their current columns.
Shuffling squares cannot be undone! Please note, shuffling squares is permanent. Please consider your squares before performing this action.
Resetting Bingo Squares
If you'd like to remove all squares in a bingo game and start from scratch, you can use the Reset Squares tool. This is useful if you clone a bingo game to retain all its settings (or use the same bingo game) but don’t want to manually remove all of its squares. This quickly reduces the bingo game back to just 25 blank squares.
To reset your squares, open up the same Square Tools tab and click on the red Reset Squares icon as displayed below.
Reset Squares tool
Simply click the Reset Squares button to reset the bingo game back to 25 blank squares.
Reset Squares confirmation module
You'll now find your bingo game has cleared out any existing squares and reverted to 25 blank squares instead.
All existing bingo squares have been reset and replaced with 25 blank squares.
Resetting squares cannot be undone! Like shuffling squares, resetting squares is also permanent. Please consider your squares before performing this action.
