Discover Interference - the hit drawing game - and get ready to draw, describe and laugh. You've heard of Chinese Whispers and Broken Telephone, this is our new take on your favourite drawing game where you can get creative and laugh your socks off! Join a chain of players and take turns to draw and describe - but each player can only see the previous step in the game. It won't take long for the original message to get lost in translation and turn into something completely different. You'll love the suspense of waiting to find out what the next person thought your drawing was – it's hilarious to see the whole game when it's finished! Don't know what to draw? That's fine – join a game and you'll get a description to illustrate in any way you like. You have 10 minutes to draw it before it is given to the next player to describe! Feeling a bit shy about drawing? You can choose to just describe if you like – and move the game on by being as detailed as you can! It is amazing how the first description and the last differ so much! You don't need to be a great artist to enjoy this fun and free drawing game - we love stick figures and anything that gets the message across! We have a friendly community packed full of players from all ability levels working together to pass the message on. All you need is your sense of humour!

Read full description

BeatBlocks is a playful music-making app that lets you build your own music using Lego bricks and other real-life construction blocks. Choose from a range of musical styles and start building, recording and sharing your beats. BeatBlocks brings the play out of the screen and into the real world to let you get hands-on with music making.  

How to play? BeatBlocks uses the camera on your iPhone or iPad to detect blocks of different type and colour. To make music, simply lay out different patterns of blocks in front of the camera. A repeating 8-beat loop will play and on every loop, when the app sees a brick, it will play a sound: so as you build, you make music. 
To change your loop, just move or scatter the blocks around, try out different colours, and wait for the loop to come around again. The left-to-right position sets the timing of each musical note, the top to bottom position selects which note/pitch to play, and the colour sets the instrument. The app also lets you adjust the tempo, swing, key and scale for your loops.

 Save and share your beats! When you are ready to show-off your compositions to the world, hit the record button to screen grab a video of your performance. When you are finished, simply choose to share or save.

  Try out BeatBlocks for free! The trial version of Beatblocks lets you use a maximum of 5 bricks at a time during music-play. To remove this limitation, upgrade to the full version, where you can earn in-game credits and use these to upgrade your sound pack library!  BeatBlocks was launched at SXSW 2023 representing the UK Immersive Futures Lab, and is winner of the silver medal for use of AI at the 2023 BIMA Awards. Playable Technology’s AI-powered music-sequencing technology has already been star of the show at the “Turn it up” interactive music exhibitions at the London Science Museum and with “BeatBlocks Live” at the National Museum of Scotland during the 2024 Science Festival in Edinburgh. Download BeatBlocks now and let the loops begin!
