## What is Earworm?

Think you know your music? Prove it.

Earworm is the music guessing game that plays 30-second previews from your favourite artists, genres, and decades — then challenges you to name the song before time runs out. The faster you answer, the more points you earn. Build a streak and multiply your score.

Real songs. Real previews. Beautiful artwork — no extra subscription, no fake MIDI tracks. Just the real thing.

GAME MODES
My Library — Guess songs from your own music library. The ultimate personal challenge.
Genre Gauntlet — Pick Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, Country, R&B, Electronic and more. How well do you know the charts?
Decades Dash — Travel from the 60s to today. Test your music history across every era.
Artist Spotlight — Deep dive into one artist's catalog. 100+ artists to choose from.
Daily Challenge — 5 new songs every day. Everyone plays the same songs — compare scores with friends worldwide.
First Note — Hear just one second of a song and try to name it. The less audio you use, the more points you earn. Think you can name it instantly?
Versus — Race against your friends with the same songs in real time. Pick your mode, answer fast, and outscore them before the timer runs out.

COMPETE WITH FRIENDS
Challenge anyone, anywhere. Face off against your friends in real time. Or after your game, share a challenge link — your friend plays the exact same songs and tries to beat your score. The results are side-by-side. No mercy. 

REAL-TIME VERSUS MODE
Jump into a live match and go head-to-head on the same songs simultaneously. Pick from a rotating selection of modes — artists, genres, decades, or global hits. See your opponent's score update in real time and find out if they answered before you did.

FIRST NOTE MODE
The hardest music challenge you'll find. A song plays for just one second, then stops. Type what you think it is — the dropdown searches as you type. Hear more if you need it, but every extra second costs you points. Can you name Blinding Lights from a single beat?

SCORING THAT REWARDS SKILL
Answer in under a second? Massive points. Take your time? You'll still score — but the leaderboard won't be kind. Build a consecutive streak to multiply everything.

ACHIEVEMENTS & LEADERBOARDS
Unlock 20 achievements from your first correct guess to a 10x streak. Compete on per-artist leaderboards — weekly resets keep the race alive. Are you your fav artists biggest fan?

SHARE YOUR RESULTS
Generate a shareable score card after every game. Post to Instagram, send in iMessage, or just flex on the group chat.
Earworm is free to play with Daily Challenge, Genre Gauntlet, and My Library included. Unlock artist packs and Decades Dash to access the full experience.

Download free. No account needed. Just your ears.
