The game is simple: select whether you want to play on your own (solo), as part of a group (multiplayer) or party mode.
In multiplayer mode, you can compete with friends either together in the same room or with friends in any location. In party mode, all you need to do is fire up your Deezer app on your desktop/laptop, get everyone to scan the QR code and let the quiz begin! You will have 30 seconds to guess the name of the song or artist that is playing - the quicker you answer, the more points you will receive! Each quiz has 10 questions you’ll need to answer - you can select quizzes based on a wide variety of musical genres (rock, pop) from themes (80’s, 90’s, musicals), quizzes based on a specific artist and even choose quizzes generated from your playlists: there is a quiz for everyone!
How to play a music quiz
If you are playing Party mode, select the quiz you want to complete and get everyone who is playing to scan the QR code that appears, including yourself.
Simply choose a quiz from our many available options, sorted by genres, artists, decades and more! From there, you can select to play in one of three modes; Solo, Multiplayer or Party;
- Solo mode allows you to train your knowledge, beat your best score and challenge a friend
- Multiplayer mode allows you to invite up to 100 friends/players to the quiz (via social media and direct link) you’ve selected and compete in real time to see who comes out on top
- Party mode allows you and up to 100 friends to play in real time in the same location, by scanning the QR code that appears on your desktop/laptop
Note: To play multiplayer mode in the same location, one player needs to use the sound from their device whilst other players answer using their own devices simultaneously
To begin the game once all participants have joined, the user that created the multiplayer room, known as the Master of the game, needs to kick the competition off by selecting Start the game.
