Let the room hear the question

A music quiz is better when people actually hear something. Play a few seconds of an intro from a link, then ask for the title. Put four songs in order of release, match each artist to its country, or complete a song title with the missing word.

  • Video or audio to play an intro from a YouTube, Spotify or SoundCloud link
  • Right order for hits across the decades
  • Match pairs for artists and their countries
  • Fill in the blanks for song titles with a missing word

Pick a decade, not the whole history

Music knowledge depends on age, so a spin of the wheel to choose the decade keeps every generation in the game. The free plan allows five questions per presentation: play one era or one genre per presentation, each with its own QR code.
