How to play

One song a day, built up one instrument at a time.

  1. 1

    Listen to the drums

    Attempt one plays the drum track on its own. Play it as many times as you like — replays are free.

  2. 2

    Guess or skip

    Type a title or artist and pick from the list, so spelling never costs you. Skip is right next to Guess, and counts as a guess.

  3. 3

    A miss adds an instrument

    Every wrong guess or skip permanently unlocks the next layer, so the song gets easier as your score gets worse.

  4. 4

    Solve as early as you can

    Six attempts, six layers. Solving on the drums alone is the best possible result; missing all six is a loss.

The six layers, in order
  1. Drums
  2. Bass
  3. Guitar
  4. Keys
  5. Strings
  6. Melody

Every song is re-performed from scratch as six separate parts, so nothing you hear is a recording. After the round ends the full mix plays and you can tap any instrument to mute or solo it — a quick lesson in how the track is put together.
