Music for the occasion

Family music game: all ages on one phone

Grandparents know the old songs, kids know the new ones. A game where both can win.

Free to try. Log in with an email code, no password and no app to install.

A family game works when everyone has a chance. In a timeline game, older relatives know the older songs and the younger ones know recent hits, so the best deck is one that spans seventy years.

Add the whole family as players and pass the phone around the table. The game takes care of the rules, so nobody has to explain anything to a six-year-old.

    Choose a popular deck, one of your own, or scan the QR code of a deck you have.

  3. 3

    Add the players

    Add everyone who plays and choose how many cards are needed to win. One phone is enough.

  4. 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

Mix decades

A deck from the 60s to today lets every generation shine.

Play in teams of two

Pair a child with a grandparent for a combined effort.

Let the youngest hold the phone

Passing the phone around makes everyone feel part of the game.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, as long as the deck itself is. Popular decks are general; check a playlist for explicit lyrics before you build a deck from it.

How long does a game take?

It depends on the number of players. The default target is ten cards, and you can lower it for a quicker game with small children.

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.
