How it feels

A cheerful living-room singalong where hitting the right notes matters more than the right words, rewarding pitch over perfection in a fun group setting.

About

The main focus of the game is singing those songs as good as one can. The game gives points which are distributed by the purity of singing, as in how well does one manage to stay on tune. It doesn't matter if you change octaves in the middle of the song or what words are you singing in (it doesn't have a word recognition), so your singing is rated by how well you manage to hit the correct note at the correct time.

What players say

A breezy, social karaoke party game whose focused 80s pop-and-new-wave setlist gets a room singing and laughing. Pure lighthearted fun rather than a serious solo experience.
