01 · The round
Hear it. Name it. Keep it.
Watch a round play out. This is the whole game, and one song takes about eight seconds.
01
Drop the needle
Tap Play song. Two seconds of it plays. That is all you get.
02
Name it
Tap the song you hear from four titles, or type it in the harder modes. If you are stuck, take the four-second clip instead, but the song is worth less the moment you do. There is no clock. Fewer seconds means more points, and every right answer in a row adds a streak bonus.
03
Keep it
Get it right and the record drops into your Crate with its real cover. Get it wrong and it sits there grey, waiting for you.

02 · The Crate
Every song you name, you keep.
Every right answer goes into a crate with its real cover art. Miss one and it stays grey until you come back for it.
0 / 21 in the crate
Real covers
Song art comes from Apple, so every record in your crate wears its own cover.
Dig by decade or genre
Filter your crate to the 1980s or to R&B and see how deep you go, and where the gaps are.
Tap it, play it
Any song in your crate opens in Apple Music with one tap, so the crate doubles as a playlist you earned.
03 · Records
Go gold. Then platinum.
Fill enough of a pack and it earns a record on your wall. Same rule for every pack, from a forty-song spotlight to the whole of Country.
Platinum
100 songs, or six in ten
You know this pack now. Everyone at the party knows you know it.
Diamond
250 songs, or every last one
The pack is cleared. There is nothing left in it you cannot name.
The app counts you down the whole way: “8 songs from Platinum.”
04 · Badges
Proof of the run.
Forty badges across three ladders. Solo, party and daily each keep their own, because they are not the same skill. Twelve of them below.
Solo · 18
Party · 13
Daily · 9
05 · Today’s Block Party
One song a day. Same for everyone.
A chart hit from 1990 on. Everyone gets the same one, at the same time. Get it on the first clip and say so.
MTWTFSSM
Your streak counts days you showed up, right or wrong. Miss a day and it resets. Play seven in a row for Week Straight, thirty for Month Straight. Name it on the first clip ten times and you have a Golden Ear.
06 · Party
One phone. The whole room.
Two to eight players on one phone. No accounts, no room codes and no second device. You do need a connection, because every clip streams.
01
Pass the phone
Add names, pick a pack, hand it round. You will find out fast who has been lying about their taste in music.
02
Every guest keeps a profile
Games played, songs named, win rate, best streak. Hold a name to see it. Thirteen party badges of their own, from First Spin to Untouchable.
03
One card at the end
Everyone’s standing on one share card, with their avatar on it. That is usually when somebody demands a rematch.
Free forever
07 · Solo
Pick how hard you want it.
All three open from the first launch. Nothing is locked behind a payment or a grind. Tap a mode.
01
Music Lover
Hear it, spot it, pick it. Four options on screen. The friendly way in, and no less fun for it.
02
Superfan
Type it. A typo is forgiven. If you are truly stuck there is a way out, and it costs you half the song.
03
Audiophile
No options. No safety net. Type it right or score nothing. This is the one you tell people about.

08 · The catalogue
Deep enough to lose.
Twelve genres. Seven decades. Pick a lane and stay in it, or take all of it at once and find out how wide your memory goes.
Classical is a real genre here. You guess the composer. A fun fact follows every answer, pulled from the song’s own data.
09 · Your avatar
Build an avatar. Make it you.
Six taps sets your face, your age, your skin tone and your hair. Twenty-four hairstyles across four hair colours, so nobody at the party turns up wearing your head.
Twenty-four of 1,635 looks.
Every base look is free and always will be. Charging you to look like yourself would be a strange way to run a party. Outfits and backdrops are the only things for sale.
Your avatar goes wherever your name goes: your results, the share card the group chat sees, and the weekly leaderboard. Change it whenever you like.
Sign in with Apple and your crate, records, badges and look follow you to the next phone.
10 · Packs
Four shelves. 39 packs.

8 packs
Covers are the art you see in the app. Packs are named for a sound or a night, never for a person.
What it costs
Packs are $1.99 or $2.99, bought once and owned forever. Bundles take a chunk off: the three party packs together are $3.99, and every genre vault at once is $9.99.
Own a pack and solo play inside it is unlimited. The daily play limit stops applying to music you paid for.
You do not have to buy anything to play. The Warm-Up pack and the family packs, movie songs and all, are free in every mode.
There are no ads, and no timer you can pay to skip. Packs add music and looks change your avatar. Nothing you can buy makes you better at naming a song.

Nearly there.
Block Party is in testing on iPhone right now. We would rather get it right than hit a date. Leave an email and we will send one message when it lands, and nothing else.
