Availability Bias Lingo Bingo Card
Spot the phrases that treat whatever is vivid or recent as whatever is most common.
What availability bias bingo is about
Availability bias is judging how likely something is by how easily examples come to mind. Dramatic, recent or heavily covered events feel more frequent than they are, while quiet, common risks fade into the background.
What to listen for
Listen for "I just saw a story about," a single recent event generalized to a trend, and fears built on memorable headlines rather than numbers. "Everyone I know" claims are a classic tell.
Tips for watching and playing
News panels, safety debates and travel conversations work well for this theme.
After a game, compare what was talked about most with what actually matters most; the gap is the lesson.
When you host, pick whichever available packs fit the moment, or write your own private pack. Nothing selects a theme pack for you automatically.
