No signup, nothing to install. 1 to 20 players. Works on any phone.

Seven buttons, one song, one guess. Decade Dash is the quickest way to settle whether that track is 80s or 90s. Everyone answers on their own phone at the same time, and the scoreboard updates live.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Start a game and share the invite link or QR code.
  2. Listen to the 30-second preview.
  3. Tap the decade: 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s or 20s.
  4. Score for a correct decade, with a bonus for a fast answer.

TIPS

  • Production style gives it away: gated drums say 80s, autotune says 2000s or later.
  • Mixed-age groups love this mode: everyone knows at least one decade well.

WHAT EACH DECADE SOUNDS LIKE

  • 60s: mono-ish mixes, jangly guitars, big vocal harmonies and Motown horns.
  • 70s: warm analogue sound, disco strings and four-on-the-floor beats, long guitar solos.
  • 80s: synthesizers, drum machines and gated-reverb snares, glossy power ballads.
  • 90s: grunge guitars, Eurodance, boom-bap hip-hop and big R&B vocals.
  • 2000s: pop-punk, crunk and R&B crossovers, the first wave of autotune.
  • 2010s: EDM drops, trap hi-hats and loud, compressed pop choruses.
  • 2020s: short songs, TikTok hooks, lo-fi textures and 80s-style synths back again.

FAQ

Do I need to know the song?
No. You only guess the decade, so a good ear for production style is enough.
Can I play alone?
Yes. A one-player session works like a quiz against the clock. For a ranked single-player game, try the solo music quiz: Guess the Artist with a public ladder.
Which songs work best?
Keep several music styles selected (all of them is the default): every level then mixes eras, so all decades come up. A narrow pick, like one style that peaked in a single decade, makes this mode too easy.
Is it free?
Yes. No ads, no registration and nothing to install. Up to 20 players join from their own phones with one link or QR code.
