Birthday music game: the party quiz on one phone
A game that makes the birthday kid the DJ: build a deck of their favourite songs and let the guests try.
Free to try. Log in with an email code, no password and no app to install.
Birthdays are about the person. A deck made from the birthday kid's favourite songs turns the game into a quiz about them, with every year of their life as a clue.
It also solves the awkward part of a party: the first half hour. Hand the phone to the first guest and the room is quiet no more.

Listen and place
Hear a 30 second preview and place the song on your timeline. Right answers grow your timeline, the first to fill it wins.
The timeline in one look
Every player builds a timeline of songs in release order. You never see the year of the new song: you listen, then decide where it fits between the songs you already placed.
Tips for this game
Build the playlist together
Ask the guests for songs beforehand and paste them into one playlist.
Start in the year of birth
Songs from the year the guest of honour was born make a good first card.
Give a small prize
A tiny prize raises the stakes in a good way.
What you get
One phone, whole group
The phone goes from hand to hand. Nobody needs their own device or an account.
Real music
Songs play as 30 second previews, enough to recognise a chorus and argue about the year.
Free decks to start
Popular public decks are free to play. Want your own songs? Turn any playlist into a deck, the first 100 cards are free.
Prefer real cards?
The same game also exists on printed cards with a QR code on every card. See how that works for this subject.
