Welcome to the 2025 Mystery Genre Bingo challenge!
This reading challenge focuses on mysteries. The idea is to create a bingo card with a variety of mystery subgenres and make as many “bingos” as you want. You can set a goal to get one bingo, completely fill in the bingo card, or something in between.
The 2025 Mystery Genre Bingo challenge has 25 prompts. This is a fun challenge for readers who enjoy reading a variety of mysteries.
My goal is to fill in a bingo card! Comment below with your challenge goals. Good luck and happy reading!
