Bandle
Bandle plays a song one instrument at a time. You start with just one part, maybe the drums, and every wrong guess adds another until you can name the song.

Bandle the music game, not Bandle City
A lot of searches for Bandle are about something else. Bandle City is a home region in League of Legends, and Bandle Tale is a cozy game set there. The Bandle on this page is the daily music quiz at bandle.app, where a song is built up one instrument at a time.
How the layers usually come in
The first clip is one part on its own, often drums or bass. Each skip or wrong guess adds a part, so by the end you hear most of the band. Vocals tend to arrive late, which is why naming a song from the drums alone feels so good.
Listen for the rhythm first. A disco beat, a reggae offbeat or a rock shuffle cuts the list of songs a lot before any melody shows up.
Can you play Bandle unlimited or play yesterday's song?
Yes, in two ways. Quick play gives you extra songs any time, and the site keeps the past week of daily puzzles so you can catch up on a missed day. There is also a multiplayer mode for playing against friends. All of it is free in the browser.
Getting a hint without the answer
- Skip once and listen again. A second instrument often gives away the genre.
- Think about the decade. Production style, like big eighties drums, narrows the year fast.
- Hum the bass line. Many famous songs are easier to place from the bass than from the guitar.
Before you start Bandle
- Listen to the drums for the tempo and style. A slow beat or a dance beat already cuts the list a lot.
- Bass lines are often the most famous part of a song. Hum along before you guess.
- Skip instead of guessing at random. A wrong guess and a skip cost the same, so only guess when you have a real idea.
- Drums and bass rarely give it away. Wait for the melody layer before using a risky guess.
