Miss Fitbit's Get Fit Bingo? We Brought It Back (And Made It Better)
When Google killed Get Fit Bingo, thousands lost their favorite fitness feature. Motion heard you. Fit Bingo is back - with more challenges, better rewards, and it works with ANY fitness tracker.
The Day Google Killed Your Favorite Fitbit Feature
Remember This Beloved Feature?
Get Fit Bingo - that perfect mix of fitness and fun that made your Fitbit worth wearing. Complete challenges, fill your board, compete with friends. It made exercise feel like a game instead of a chore.
Then Google acquired Fitbit. Features started disappearing. And one day... Bingo was gone.
The Forums Lit Up With Disappointment
"Get Fit Bingo was literally the only reason I bought a Fitbit"
"Why would they remove the most fun feature?"
"Guess it's time to find a new fitness app"
"Please bring back Bingo! It kept me motivated for 3 years!"
Sound familiar? You weren't alone. Thousands of users lost their favorite way to stay active.
Why Bingo Was Special
It wasn't just another step counter or workout tracker. Bingo made fitness:
- Unpredictable - Different challenges kept things fresh
- Social - Compete with friends on the same board
- Achievable - Mix of easy and hard challenges for everyone
- Fun - That satisfaction of completing a pattern!
No wonder people are STILL searching for alternatives years later.
Fit Bingo Lives Again in Motion
We Heard Your Calls (Google Didn't)
Motion's community includes many former Fitbit Bingo addicts, and we know there are many more out there! When Google sunset the feature, we knew what we had to do... sorry it took so long.
Introducing Motion Fit Bingo - Everything you loved, plus some uniquely Motion improvements.
How Motion's Fit Bingo Works
Bingo Quest Boards
When your bingo quest starts, you'll get a uniquely generated board, and a pattern to complete. Hit mini-tasks to flip tiles on the board:
- Step challenges (e.g. "Walk 8,000 steps")
- Distance challenges (e.g. "Move 6km")
- Activity points challenges (e.g. "Earn 500 activity points")
Complete the Pattern to Win
- Flip tiles on your board to complete the target pattern
- Fliping off-pattern tiles can earn you extra boosts and prizes that might help you too
- Complete the pattern before the challenge deadline to win!
Multiple Challenge Modes
- Solo Quest: You don't always need others to have fun, create your own quest and tackle a bingo board on your own
- Battle Quest: Invite friends to your quest, and complete to see who can complete the pattern first (or who does the most before the deadline)
- Team-up Quest: Invite friends, and work together to beat the pattern before the deadline! ... not everything is a competition.
No matter what challenge mode you choose, your board will be generated based on you and your team. Making sure it's a fun and fair quest for everyone!
Fit Bingo's Glow-up
Works with EVERYTHING: Unlike Fitbit-only Bingo, Motion works with:
- Any fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.)
- Any phone (iOS or Android)
Smarter Challenges: Our effort-based system means challenges adapt to YOUR fitness level. A beginner and athlete can play the same board fairly.
Better Rewards: Win a series of badges and awards for completing challenges, and a special award for completing all of the M.O.T.I.O.N pattern boards!
Evolution: Due to Motion's smart adaptive goals, yours quests evolve as you do, so don't worry about getting bored with your boards (... get it!?)
Quest chat: Every active quest has it's own private chat channel, use it to hype each other up, share tips, strategize, or trash talk if you're in battle mode!
The Psychology of Why Fitness Bingo Is So Effective
It's Not Just Fun - It's Science
Variable Reward Schedule: Like slot machines (but healthy!), you never know which challenge will complete a line. This unpredictability is psychologically proven to increase engagement.
Multiple Win Conditions: Unlike single goals, Bingo offers many paths to success. Bad at running? Focus on the walking and variety challenges. Busy week? Hit some off-pattern step tiles to earn a boost.
Social Accountability Without Shame: Playing with friends adds motivation, but everyone has their own board, so you're working together or competing on effort, not raw performance. It's supportive, not stressful.
Visible Progress: Seeing your board fill up provides constant micro-rewards. Every completed square is a dopamine hit.
Perfect for People Who:
- Get bored with repetitive fitness routines
- Need variety to stay motivated
- Love games and challenges
- Miss the community aspect of fitness
- Want structure without rigidity
- Used to love Fitbit Bingo (obviously!)

Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
Is this the same as Fitbit's Get Fit Bingo?
It's the spiritual successor! We've captured everything people loved about Get Fit Bingo - weekly boards, varied challenges, social play - but made it work with any device (not just Fitbit) and added features like adaptive difficulty, teaming-up, and better rewards. Think of it as Bingo 2.0.
Do I need a Fitbit to play?
No! That's the beauty of Motion's Fit Bingo. It works with ANY fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Garmin, Samsung, etc.) or just your phone's built-in step counter. We believe everyone should enjoy Bingo, not just Fitbit owners.
How are the challenges determined?
Our algorithm creates balanced boards with a mix of step goals, activity variety, consistency challenges, and fun wildcards. Thanks to our adaptive system, challenges scale to your fitness level - a 5,000 step challenge for beginners might be 15,000 for athletes.
Can I play with friends who have different fitness levels?
Yes! Each person gets challenges appropriate to their level. You might need 5,000 steps while your friend needs 15,000 - both squares count the same toward Bingo. This makes it fair and fun for everyone.
What happened to the original Fitbit Bingo?
Google discontinued Get Fit Bingo (along with other social features) after acquiring Fitbit, likely to streamline the platform. While Google hasn't indicated any plans to bring it back, Motion is committed to keeping Fit Bingo alive and improving it based on community feedback.
Can I play it right now?
Motion Fit Bingo is currently in Beta, but looking pretty good, so it'll be rolled out to all users soon! Signup now to make sure you're next to get access.
