How to unlock the Power to the People achievement in Microsoft Bingo - Definitive Guide
The ability to play power bingo doesn't unlock until you level up a few times, and then once you have a good amount of keys, you should be playing power bingo every time. How it works is that you can spend coins on up to three bingo numbers of your choosing from your power bingo card. If one of those numbers is called during the next game and you have it on your bingo card(s), daubing it will mark it on your power bingo card too. So earning a power bingo will typically take 2-5 games depending on luck of the numbers.
Playing power bingo is an integral part of the leveling up process, so refer to the "Around the Globe" achievement solution for a detailed strategy. You should easily get over 100 power bingos by the time you're done with everything else.
This achievement requires that you complete a cumulative total of 30 Power Bingos across all locations and games. See the "General Tips" section at the end of the Roadmap for more information on Power Bingo. This will come naturally while you are using the exploit detailed in "Around the Sphere." However, if you want to get this out of the way earlier, see the strategy below.
The quickest way to reach 30 Power Bingos is to always pick three Power Balls per game and play as many cards as possible. Marking Power Balls costs coins and even if your numbers are called, you must be able to daub them on one of your cards for it to become daubed on your Power Bingo card after the match. The key is to use the resetting Power Bingo clock to your advantage.
From the Main Menu, you can check the timer by clicking the button to the right of the Play button for Power Bingo. Your card will reset at the end of the 6-hour countdown. Therefore, it is best to start filling your Power Bingo card with a full timer. Four to six cards is generally a good balance between using tickets and having enough cards to be able to daub your Power Balls when they are called. Continue to play and fill as many spots on the Power Bingo card as you can. Filling the entire card will award 13 Power Bingos. The real challenge will be to maintain enough tickets to keep playing. Your tickets fully replenish when you level up. You will also want to unlock all luggage as they can sometimes award tickets. You can get 5 tickets by watching an ad from within the Store (once every 24 hours). As long as you play Power Bingo during all of your extended play sessions, you will have no trouble reaching 30 early in your play of the game.
