Staycations That Actually Feel Like Getaways
Let’s face it, sometimes you just want the holiday feeling without the airport queues, lost luggage, or heatwave meltdowns. That is where the Zingo staycation comes in.
With the right tunes, the right snacks, and a splash of retro flair, your front room can feel like a cruise ship lounge, a tropical bar, or even the arcade at Butlin’s. Throw in a few themed bingo nights, and you have got yourself a getaway without the gate.
Ready to check into Chez You? Here is how to create your own holiday-at-home, with a big side of Zingo magic.
Step 1: Pick a Staycation Theme (or Three)
🏝 The Tropical Resort Vibe
Inflatable flamingos, cocktails in pineapples, and steel drums on the playlist. Add a sunlamp and wear sunglasses indoors for full commitment.
🎲 Zingo Room Match: The Carnival Cabana
Bright, balmy, and ready for fun with confetti pops and spinning wheels.
🎡 Seaside Arcade Throwback
Queue up fish and chips, set out Pick 'n Mix, and crack open a board game or two. Pipe in some old amusement park sounds for the full nostalgia hit.
🎲 Zingo Room Match: The Penny Arcade
1p bingo brilliance with classic coin flair and seaside charm.
🛎 Vintage Hotel Glam
Think classic cruise ship vibes, martini glasses, jazz playlists, and dressing up just to sit in your own lounge.
🎲 Zingo Room Match: Disco Inferno
Glitter balls, funky beats, and jackpot jives to get your retro glam on.
Step 2: Schedule a Bingo Night (or Several)
No staycation is complete without a proper game night, and bingo is the ultimate all-ages, easy-to-play, guaranteed-to-laugh classic.
🏆 Zingo Bingo Tips for the Perfect Home Game:
- Use our online rooms for themed nights with chatty hosts and nostalgic music
- Dress up to match your room, disco flair in Disco Inferno is highly encouraged
- Serve snacks like it is a poolside bar, cheese cubes and curly straws for all
- Play across devices and keep it casual or crank up the competition with a prize
Need something simple? Grab a few friends, print out some cards, and make your own DIY Zingo night.
Step 3: Pack the Details That Make It Pop
🧺 Retro Snacks
Angel Delight, Viennetta, cheese and pineapple on sticks
🎧 Soundtrack
Use our Zingo Rewind: Staycation Edition playlist to get you in the groove, disco, 80s synth, and sunshine pop all included
🎬 Extras
Projector films outside, garden fairy lights, deck chairs on the balcony, even if it is cold. It is a vibe.
🪴 Zingo Tip
Name your bingo space like a hotel suite, for example “Room 304, Zingo Riviera,” and hang a fake Do Not Disturb sign for peak immersion.
