Songlio - The ultimate online music guessing game

An extremely entertaining musical guessing game where you race against friends to name that tune! "The music round of a pub quiz on steroids". Great for livening up a group Zoom call. Also includes single player quizzes and custom quiz creator.

LIVE NOW: ProductHunt Songlio Championship! 🏆😸 Test your music knowledge against the PH community! Click the "Join open game" in the yellow banner at the top of the page 👆 Hi ProductHunt! 👋 We're so excited to be launching Songl.io today! 🎉 At my startup, Encore, we've built one of world's largest marketplaces for booking musicians to perform at events and weddings...so 2020 wasn't a great year for us! 😷 We decided to host a hackathon in October where members of the team could build whatever they liked (provided it was musical) and Songlio is the game that my hackathon team built. ⚒️ During lockdown, my flatmates and I would quiz each other's music knowledge by playing a very short sample of a song and asking everyone else to guess it. We'd often do this for an hour at a time after dinner, and it was a lot of fun, so I decided it could make a fun online game... We built the first version of Songlio in a day, and it was extremely fun from the moment we played our first game! 😁 The game is multiplayer, which means it's been spreading organically and rapidly without any paid marketing or pushing from us as a team. Since October, over 4000 players have played over 1500 games across 48 different countries! 🤯 We'll be hosting a massive LIVE game throughout the day for the PH community. It kicks off at 12pm GMT (7am ET) and will continue throughout the day. We'd love to hear what you think, and if you have any questions or feedback, please let us know in the comments! Thanks @chrismessina for playing a game with me a few weeks ago and hunting us today. 🙏 And a huge shout-out to everyone at Encore who helped make Songlio a reality @_ilken @claudia_marques @james_king5 @jonnyvenvell and everyone else without PH accounts! 💪

I am a songlio addict. I have a group of friends who I play songlio with regularly and we are all addicted. It's kind of nice we're all in the same boat I guess. We have songlio-based inside jokes, we have a whatsapp group, we have gifs, we have brainstorms to come up with new rounds - we've used it for team socials, family get-togethers and even gotten one of the group's Mum's badminton club using it. It's one of the best things to come out of lockdown!

@beth_thayne1 as the person who got Beth hooked on Songlio, I can confirm that every word of her testimonial / confession story is true.

I had the pleasure of testing out earlier versions of the game, and it was clear this was going to be a brilliant one. I was in stitches watching some of the answers my family gave, or, inevitably, the typos littering the screen as I raced my brothers to try and get the quickest answer. I can't imagine there are many people out there who won't absolutely love this game!
James McAulay
@james_venvell haha thanks, James! Was a lot of fun to have the OG Venvell, Tim, in one of our games last week.
James Venvell
@thejamesmcaulay Brilliant! Guaranteed confusion and raised eyebrows I imagine.

We've been playing this game as a company since a few members of the team built it during a hackathon back in October, and it's still going strong! Extremely addictive and a great activity for our team socials / end-of-week drinks. 🍻

@joinencore I was part of the team who built Songlio during the hackathon and genuinely haven't stopped playing it since October! Like Sporcle but for music, a brilliant game for any music lover!

@joinencore @jonnyvenvell Jonny was responsible for a lot of the entertaining and thought-provoking loading messages scattered throughout the game! 💡
