Frequently Asked Questions

How do I play Music Quizly?

How does the scoring system work?

Each song is scored in two separate parts: how close you are to the title and how close you are to the artist. Each part has its own maximum (by default, about half the round each). Timed rounds: While the clip is playing, the maximum you can still earn on both halves slowly shrinks as time runs out. It never falls below 30% of the full value at the buzzer—so the clock still rewards speed, but you are never stuck with nothing left to win. The drop is linear over the clip, like before, just mapped down to that 30% floor instead of all the way to zero. Locks: When you get the title exactly right, your title score locks at whatever it was worth at that moment and stops decaying. The artist half keeps following the clock until you get the artist right, then it locks too. If you are only close on a half, we keep your best attempt there until you lock it with a full match. Streaks: Fully solving both title and artist in a round grows your streak. Each streak level adds a percentage bonus to your score on later songs (capped so it stays fair). Wrong guesses do not subtract from your overall match score.
