Dance music quiz: from eurodance to EDM
Four on the floor never changes, but everything around it does. Listen for the drop and date the track.

Dance music sounds timeless on a dance floor and surprisingly dated in headphones. The synth patches, the vocal samples and the way the drop is built change from year to year, which gives sharp ears an advantage.
It is also a decade-spanning genre, so a dance deck jumps from disco through house and trance to modern festival tracks, an ideal range for a timeline.

- 4
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
Listen to the build-up
Long builds and big drops are a 2010s habit, older tracks just keep rolling.
Spot the vocals
Diva house vocals suggest the 90s, chopped vocal hooks the 2010s.
Keep the volume up
The previews are short. Turn the sound up so the bass tells you the era.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for a party?
Yes, the music itself makes the party and the game gives the room a reason to listen together.
Does it include dance remixes?
A deck holds the exact version its creator added, so be careful with remixes: they can be newer than the original.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The game runs in your phone browser. You only log in with a code sent to your email address.
Can we play together on different phones?
Not yet. The game is made for one phone that the group passes around, the way you would pass a stack of cards.
