It took some time, but the Arcane Season 2 Timebomb Bingo Contest is upon us. We're excited, worried, and hopeful that Ekko and Jinx will have meaningful interactions together. Even with a number of trailers, shorts, and promotional material released by Riot and Fortiche, there is still an air of uncertainty surrounding their level of intamcy on the horizon. There are so many possibilities that I decided to get input from other fans to craft this bingo board creator.

Before I continue on with the details, a disclaimer is required:

DISCLAIMER: Riot Games is in no way involved in the creation, administering, or promotion of this contest. It is 100% fan run. All prizes were purchased by me, with my own money. Any outside promotion after the contest is launched by Riot Games, any of their partners, or employees is done so by their own volition. No money or favors have been exchanged or offered. No one is making any profit from this. Remember, this contest was created to be fun. Anything else is against the spirit spirit and will of the contest creator.

Now that's out of the way, let's get to the fun part!

The Contest

The object of the contest is to get a "bingo" by watching Arcane Season 2 and making a note of important moments with Jinx, Ekko, or the two of them together. Then you'll compare those events with the events on your bingo card. If you get a complete match vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, then you'll get BINGO! Once you get BINGO, you report your card and I'll verify the validity of the card.

There will be four winners: a grand prize winner, a second prize winner, and two third prize winners. No winners will be accepted until after Act 2 is released on November 16th. How lucky will you get? I wish everyone the best of luck!


To participate, complete the following:

1. Generate your card.

2. Register your card by sending your real name, the name of your card, and the board link to timebombsubreddit@hotmail.com. (Duplicate cards will be disqualified and if you do not get a receipt e-mail in 24 hours, resend or contact me to investigate the matter.)

3. Watch the show.

4. Match events in the show to the events listed on your card.

5. If you get a BINGO before the contest ends (i.e. all prizes are still open), then email BINGO with your name to this link!


The final day to submit a card is November 8, 2024 at 11 pm. No submissions will be accepted after this time! One submission per person. Multiple submissions will be discarded.

The Prizes

I believe I have assembled a great set of prizes for the contest.


FIRST (GRAND?) PRIZE: (1 Winner)


The Art and Making of Arcane: Portfolio Edition by Elisabeth Vincentelli

What more can really be said about this? Fortiche and Riot Games' put together an amazing cover that is completely deditcated to Ekko by Jinx herself. Timebomb coded? Absolutely!


SECOND PRIZE: (1 Winner)


Arcane Season 1 & 2 Blu-ray Steelbook Edition

I know Season 2 has yet to be released or even announced on Blu-ray, but when it is, one lucky winner will have a copy to look forward to. The Season 1 steelbook with Jinx on the cover looks amazing and a worthy edition to one's collection.


THIRD PRIZE: (2 Winners)


Ekko & Jinx Arcane Funko Pop!

These were announced right on time, since I was at a loss as to what to offer for third prize. Nothing says "Timebomb" like having these nice collectables in your collection!


**General Housekeeping:

1. As some items are currently unreleased at the time of the creation of this contest, there is some uncertainty about availibility of certain items (such as the Jinx Funko Pop!). If, for some reason, I am unable to procure the items listed, then I will make sure to provide suitable compensation. I apologize in advance.

2. All items (except the Season 2 blu-ray) will be distributed to the winners before April 2025 unless explicitly specified. If for some reason the Season 2 Blu-ray is not released or announced by June 2025, then an alternate prize will be awarded as compensation.

Choosing Winners

Winners will be chosen based on the timestamp of the submission email. If your bingo card has BINGO, then send an email to timebombsubreddit@hotmail.com with the word "BINGO" in the title. Make sure you incude:

-Name you registered your card under.
-E-mail address you registered your card under.

We'll then review the card to check to see if the card is a winner. Winners will be notified within a few days after their card is submitted. BE SURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SEVEN DAYS after receiving notification from us. Not responding will forfeit your win and an alternate will be chosen and notified. This procedure will also be employed if the proposed winner forfeits their position voluntarily.

Any BINGO submission BEFORE 5 AM on November 16, 2024 EST will be discarded! If no winner is chosen, then I will randomly choose four winners from the pool of submissions.

Employees and partners of Riot Games and Fortiche Productions are excluded from consideration due to possible insider knowledge.
