The When We Were Young Fest community on Reddit’s r/WhenWeWereYoungFest subreddit has embraced a spirited fan initiative that’s turning heads ahead of the Las Vegas event. User eltibbs is spearheading the design of commemorative festival lanyards that double as bingo cards — a nod to a similar hit from Warped Tour DC.
These bingo cards are more than static souvenirs. They feature interactive challenges designed for in-festival play where fans get stickers to mark off items on a playback-safe plastic sleeve. Challenges include spotting band members, plunging into mosh pits, noticing classic festival fashion (like leather jackets and fishnets), and engaging in activities like crowd surfing or swapping swag.
The design sports a bold checkerboard pattern with a free space to be finalized, echoing the style of the Warped Tour lanyard from June 2023, which featured a signed badge from Travis of We The Kings. This adds a collectible touch fans really vibe with.
Community response has been enthusiastic, with many keen to get their hands on these lanyards and eager to add new scavenger hunt tasks such as watching full sets on every stage or exchanging friendship bracelets. The goal is clear: boost attendee interaction, discovery, and fun, making festival memories that last.
This creative project embodies the When We Were Young Fest spirit, fostering fun beyond the music and building connections across the crowd. Fans can expect the first batch of these bingo lanyards to drop this Saturday, leveling up the festival experience with a playful twist.
Stay tuned for details on how to snag one and join the bingo buzz at WWWY Fest 2025!
