Type Hunt Bingo is a game I created using Python and Drawbot. The game encourages players to hunt through their environment for the specific letter/characteristic combination that would help them achieve BINGO on their board. I was able to run the game (sponsored by Monotype) at the 2018 Typographics Conference in New York City. Working with Python allowed me to easily create 1000 print-ready, completely unique boards, full of random type hunt challenges. Can you find R written illegally? À on glass? 6 stencilled?
