Terms of use

2. How the game works

Each game round plays a synthesized audio approximation of a song introduction. You guess the song by searching for the artist or title. You get up to 6 attempts. Each wrong or skipped guess reveals more of the audio (1s, 2s, 4s, 7s, 11s, 16s).

All audio is generated client-side using the Web Audio API. These are not original recordings. They are synthesized approximations created for identification and trivia purposes.
