Music Quizly has classic Guess the Song rooms and 0.1s Microguesser rooms. Party Mode is multiplayer with a shared playlist, Quiz Master lets a host DJ the room live, and Solo Challenge is you vs the clips. Microguesser Solo and Microguesser with friends use the same 0.1s clip challenge as the daily board, with unlimited songs from our curated playlists — pick those from the Music Quizly homepage. The daily 0.1s Micro Edition is a free three-track Guess the Song board that resets each day.
What is Microguesser?
Microguesser is Music Quizly’s 0.1 second Guess the Song challenge: you start with a tiny clip and hear more only if you skip or guess wrong. The daily 0.1s Micro Edition is three new songs each day. For unlimited rounds, create a room from the homepage and choose Microguesser Solo or Microguesser with friends, then pick a curated playlist.
Can I play Music Quizly solo?

What if I can't find a song?
You can skip songs you don't know, but it might affect your score. The game is designed to be challenging but fun - don't worry if you don't know every song!
Scoring
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. Microguesser (daily and rooms) scores by clip length instead of a shrinking timer: 100 points at 0.1s, then 80, 60, 40, 25, and 15 at the last 15s clip. In a Microguesser room with friends, the first correct guess on a song gets the full stage value and each later correct guess gets 90% of the previous, never below half the stage value.
