## What is Punkster?

Punkster is a music guessing game built for people who know their way around punk, hardcore, emo, post-hardcore, heavy rock, and scene-adjacent classics.

It is made for the kind of night where deep cuts matter, release years spark arguments, and somebody always swears they know the intro in the first two seconds.

Play in three ways:

- Scan Mode: scan a Punkster QR card and let the track start instantly
- Random Mode: pick a surprise track from the in-app catalog without scanning a card
- Quiz Mode: judge claims about a song's year, artist, or title in a ten-track solo session

How it works:

- In Scan and Random, guess the artist, title, and release year
- Slide to reveal the answer in Punkster's full-screen style
- In Quiz, swipe no or yes, see the real song facts, and start the next track
- Finish ten Quiz tracks to see your score, best streak, and high score

What makes Punkster different:

- built around punk, hardcore, emo, post-hardcore, and heavy rock energy
- great for players with deep scene knowledge, not just mainstream chart memory
- fast round flow for parties, birthdays, and pre-drinks
- dramatic reveal countdown for the payoff moment
- works with physical QR cards, spontaneous Random rounds, or a focused solo Quiz

Features:

- fast QR card scanning
- Random Mode for spontaneous rounds
- ten-track true-or-false Quiz with a persistent high score
- dramatic reveal countdown
- one-phone party setup
- built-in in-app playback from the current standalone catalog

Important:

- camera access is used for QR card scanning
- Random and Quiz modes can be used without physical cards
- works on launch without another app installed
- no additional music app is required to start playing

Punkster is for loud rooms, strong opinions, obscure intros, and the special kind of joy that comes from knowing exactly when that record came out.
