Each round shows four options from music. Three of them belong to the group in the question. One does not. You tap the one that does not belong.
The groups cover the whole subject: band line-ups, composer eras, opera and ballet, voice types and tempo terms, genres and their home countries, and who plays which instrument.
The traps are the point. George Martin is called the fifth Beatle and was never a Beatle. Falco sang in German and was Austrian. Calypso sounds Jamaican and comes from Trinidad. Each round ends with one line that explains the answer.
How to play
Each round asks one question, for example "Which of these was NOT a member of The Beatles?".
Read the question. Then tap the option that does not belong.
You get one pick for each round. There are no second guesses.
The quiz marks your answer immediately. It also gives one line that explains the answer.
You start with three lives. The hearts in the top bar show the lives that you have.
A correct answer gives one point. A wrong answer costs one life.
A round that costs a life gives no points. The quiz continues with the next round.
The run ends when you lose the third life. It also ends when you play all the rounds.
Select "Review rounds" on the result screen to see each round that you played.
What counts in this quiz
34 groups from music. One run can use all of them. The rounds, the options and the impostor are drawn fresh every run.
Every option is clearly in the group or clearly out of it. No round has two possible answers.
Line-up rounds follow official membership. A producer, a manager or a touring guest is not a member.
Era rounds follow the era reference works file a composer under. Bach is Baroque, Mozart is Classical, Chopin is Romantic.
Your score is the number of correct answers. The maximum score is 34 — every round in the quiz.
A wrong answer costs one life. You keep the points that you have.
The timer counts up from your first pick. It only separates equal scores on the leaderboard.
What's not included — and why
Music that people still argue about is not used, on either side of a round.
Whose-song rounds are not here. The Music & Movies quiz owns those, so the two quizzes do not repeat each other.
The stage musical round asks what a song was WRITTEN for. A pop song that a jukebox musical borrowed later does not change sides.
Artists whose genre is a real debate are not used as impostors. Every impostor fails the question by a checkable fact.
Good to know
George Martin produced almost every Beatles record, wrote the string arrangement for Yesterday, and was never a member of the band.
The theremin is played without any touch. The player's hands move in the air near two antennas.
Wagner and Verdi were born in the same year, 1813, and never met.
Reggae, ska, rocksteady, dancehall and dub all come from one island with fewer than three million people.
