Have you been playing Bingo Blitz and noticed little red tabs popping up next to your Bingo cards? If you've been wondering what they are, you're not alone. It's a question many players have when they first see them. They're actually a helpful feature in the game, designed to make your collection progress clearer.

So, what are these red tabs in Bingo Blitz? The short answer is that they are markers for collection items you haven't acquired yet. These are often called "shadow cards." When you see a red tab on one of your Bingo cards, it means that card holds a potential collection item that you still need to complete a set.

Understanding Red Tabs and Shadow Cards

Bingo Blitz is more than just daubing numbers; a big part of the fun is completing collections in each city or map room you visit. Each collection requires a set of specific items, and this is where the red tabs come into play.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Red Tab: This indicates you do not have the collection item associated with that Bingo card. It's a "shadow card," and you should prioritize trying to win on that card to get the item.
• Yellow Tab: If you see a yellow or gold-colored tab, it means you already have that particular collection item.

I remember when I was trying to complete the collection for the Sydney room. I kept seeing this one red tab pop up, and it felt like that last rare item was taunting me! It made me focus my efforts on that specific card, hoping to finally get the shadow card I needed. It’s a clever way the game guides you on what to aim for.

These tabs are a great visual guide, especially when you're playing with multiple cards. Instead of having to remember which items you're missing, you can just glance at your cards and see where the red tabs are. Just the other day, I was playing in a seasonal room, and a red tab finally turned into a collectible I needed. Seeing it disappear after winning the item is so satisfying; it makes you feel like you're making real progress.
