## What is Musical Chairs?

Transform your children's parties with Musical Chairs - the ultimate party game companion that automatically plays and stops music for you! Say goodbye to manually controlling the music during classic party games. Our app handles all the timing, letting you focus on having fun with the kids.

PERFECT FOR CLASSIC PARTY GAMES

Musical Chairs brings automation to four beloved party games that every child loves:

MUSICAL CHAIRS
Set up chairs in a row (one fewer than the number of players). When the music plays, children walk or dance around the chairs. When it stops, everyone rushes to sit down. The player left standing is out, and one chair is removed. The game continues until one winner remains sitting in the final chair. No more awkwardly timing when to stop the music - our app does it for you at random intervals!

MUSICAL STATUES
Children dance freely while the music plays. When it stops, they must freeze like statues. Anyone caught moving or making a sound is out. The last player remaining wins. The app's unpredictable stop times keep kids on their toes and make the game even more exciting!

MUSICAL BUMPS
Kids dance energetically to the music. When it stops, they must quickly sit on the floor. The last child to sit down is eliminated. Play continues until there's one winner. Our automatic timing ensures fair play - no accusations of favoritism when the music stops!

PASS THE PARCEL
Wrap a prize in multiple layers and have children sit in a circle. As music plays, they pass the parcel around. When it stops, whoever holds it removes one layer. The game continues until someone unwraps the final layer and wins the prize. Perfect timing every time means every child gets a turn to unwrap!

### 5/5 — The best in the whole world for Freya and my sister Sienna

*2026-04-07*

This is the best. I just had to stop playing because my sister needs the toilet not because it’s bad and it is very very very very very very very good. I love it. I love how we can play with anyone in your family.

### 5/5 — Perfect for Pass the Parcel

*2026-01-01*

I downloaded probably a dozen similar apps and this has everything I needed for any of those types of games where you play music and need it to stop randomly, with no extra bloat. It just….works. Thank you. The highest praise I can give for this app is that I’d even be willing to pay for it.

### 1/5 — Songs

*2024-11-03*

Your songs are revolting. Please add better songs and not just the baby ones🤮🤢

**Developer response:** You can now pick any song from Apple Music.

### 3/5 — Quite good but

*2024-10-05*

Works really well, only real issue is the pauses between tracks that get mistaken for a proper pause

**Developer response:** The music is now coming from Apple Music and if a song nears the end a new one is cross faded in to keep the playback continuous.

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2024-02-10*

Perfect to play musical chairs with your kids. Just open it up and hit play. The music plays for random amount of seconds between a minimum and maximum that you can adjust if you want but the default settings worked fine for me. The songs sound pretty good too. Nice to see there are still some solid, functional apps like this out there.

### 5/5 — Was what I was looking for

*2023-11-11*

I just wanted a app to play music and randomly turn off. I have tried other “musical chair” apps that did not ever do that. This one, as simple as it needs to be, was just right. Stops the music and changing intervals (can be adjusted) and automatically restarts as well (also adjustable how long the pause is).

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-10-21*

Works well if you don’t have someone to turn music off and on

### 5/5 — Perfect for playing WITH your kids!

*2023-06-05*

Our kids often want us to play games like musical chairs, pass the parcel, etc. with them, but playing and controlling the music can be tricky. This app makes getting in on the fun easy!

### 3/5 — Would be good if you could play your own Apple Music, please add.

*2023-03-06*

Would be good if you could play your own Apple Music, please add.

**Developer response:** Apple Music support has now been added.
