PickKey is a music game in which tiles carrying a note name fall from the top of the screen. Catch them and drop them on the RIGHT piano key, before they pile up. Every tile placed correctly earns points; after 3 minutes, a mark out of 10 sums up your game. A real piano keyboard (two octaves), which adapts to phone, tablet and computer, in portrait as well as landscape. Play ALONE or WITH OTHERS over the network: create a room, share the code (or the link), and the host starts the game once everyone has joined — perfect for a whole class. Note names as you like, in French (do re mi) or in English (a b c), with accidentals (C / D). ⏱ Timed game, live mark out of 10, a celebration with every success. Real piano sounds, animated tutorial, sound and vibration settings. Ideal for revising note reading and position on the keyboard, in music lessons, at a conservatoire, at music school or just for fun with the family. Suited to learning music theory and aural training. Completely free, with no advertising and no in-app purchases. Part of the Lusique collection of music games.
