House party music game: pass the phone around
The best party games are loud, quick and a bit competitive. This one needs one phone and a speaker.
Free to try. Log in with an email code, no password and no app to install.
At a party you do not want a rulebook. You want a game that explains itself in twenty seconds: listen, place, laugh. The timeline format does that, and rounds are short enough to jump in and out of.
Connect the phone to a speaker so the whole room hears the previews. The tension of a song starting and everyone leaning in to guess the year is what makes it a party game.

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.
