Why it's fun

Everyone plays. Nobody has to sing.

  • Thousands of hits

    From the '60s to today. Songs everyone half-knows the words to.

  • Pick your decades

    All '80s and '90s night? Done. Turn decades on and off before you start.

  • Five ways to guess

    The disco ball picks how you answer each song:

    Song TitleName the ArtistDecadeBefore 2000?4 Years Up or Down

  • Steals

    Nail the exact year and wipe a square off someone else's card. Friendships are tested.

  • Vote to skip

    Nobody knows this one? Everyone votes and the next song plays.

  • Casts to the TV

    Chrome casts straight to Google TV or Chromecast. Or just plug in a laptop.

What you need

Probably already in your living room

  • A TV or big screen

    Anything the whole room can see.

  • A computer to host

    Chrome casts to Google TV or Chromecast. A tablet works too.

How many people can play?

2 to 12 players, each on their own phone.

What devices does it work on?

The host uses a computer (Chrome is best, and it can cast to Google TV or Chromecast) or a tablet, shown on a TV. Players use any phone with a web browser.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Hosting is free during early access. If that changes, the subscription can be cancelled anytime.

How long is a game?

A Single game takes about 7 minutes. An Album is three rounds and takes 25 to 30 minutes.

Is it family-friendly?
