How fast can you name a track? Hear the clip. Call it before anyone else. Nail it in the first second and feel like a genius. BeatID is the music guessing game for people who actually know their music โ€” built in East London, powered by Apple Music. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY Never the same game twice. One catalogue, five ways in: Type to Guess โ€” free-text the title. No hints, all glory. Multiple Choice โ€” four options, one shot. Drum Pads โ€” tap the rhythm on a live launchpad. Guess by Cover โ€” name it from the artwork alone. Guess the Year โ€” slide to the release year. Closest wins. GUESS FASTER. SCORE HIGHER. Every millisecond counts. The quicker you call it, the bigger the points drop. Speed bonuses, streaks, and a weekly leaderboard that resets Monday โ€” so there's always a way back to the top. PLAY THE ROOM Host a live game from beatid.online and get everyone racing the same clip โ€” mates on the sofa, the whole pub, the office at 5pm. Enter a PIN or scan a QR code and you're in. Think Kahoot, but for music. BEAT YOUR FRIENDS Send challenges, climb the weekly board, and settle once and for all who really knows their music. Ranks, badges, and bragging rights included. BUILD YOUR STREAK. FIND NEW MUSIC. Play the daily round to keep your run alive. And every misfire becomes a discovery โ€” tracks you didn't recognise get saved straight to your Apple Music library, so losing a round still wins you a song. GOOD TO KNOW Full-length playback with an Apple Music subscription; previews work for everyone Free to play daily โ€” go premium for unlimited rounds and more Made independently in East London Download BeatID and prove you know the track before the drop.
