How to play Strumdle
- Press play
The note chart scrolls by, showing the rhythm and pattern of the song.
- Type a guess
Name the song you think it is.
- Watch longer
Each wrong guess makes the chart play two seconds longer.
- Switch lanes
Swap to another instrument if the drums or bass tell you more than the guitar.
Reading the notes
- Look at the rhythm before the notes. A steady four on the floor beat points to dance music, a fast tapping pattern to rock or metal.
- Switch lanes. Drums often reveal the song faster than guitar.
- Count repeats. Many famous riffs repeat a short pattern several times.
- Hum what you see. If you can hum the rhythm, the song often follows.
A song as a note chart
Strumdle shows a song the way rhythm games like Guitar Hero do: colored notes scroll down lanes in time with the music. You watch the chart and name the song. Each miss plays the chart two seconds longer, and you have six attempts.
Strumdle tips
- Tap the rhythm along with the chart. Feeling the beat is easier than reading the notes.
- Long held notes often mark the chorus or a famous riff.
- Switch to drums early. Many songs are easier to spot from the beat.
- Count the notes in a bar. A song with long gaps between hits is usually slower and easier to name.
