AIM
The aim of the game is to name as many SONG TITLES in
45 seconds, when challenged by another team, with an option from their card. e.g. "Name song titles containing the WORD Blue".
It's 1 point per correct title and at the end of the game, the team with the most points wins!

SET UP
1. Split the deck into the 3 different categories.
PURPLE = THEME
BLUE = WORD
YELLOW = ARTIST
...
2. Nominate a GAME KEEPER (GK) to keep score and keep everyone in ORDER. It can get rowdy! GK to can decide to play too, or just host.
...
3. Split into equal teams of 1-5 players- We recommend 2-4 players/team, with a max of 4 teams. (Consider age, music taste and competence. )
...
4. Decide which category to play first...
( we recommend starting with "THEME", to warm up, as its the easiest category.)
...
5. Game Keeper - Deal 1 card from the chosen category, to each team. (Teams keep card until a new one is needed)
...
6. PLAY : The first team to play must be challenged by all other teams before rotating to the next team to play
...
7. For THEME and WORD categories: Pick ONLY ONE theme or word to challenge a team. Options on these cards range from easy to difficult
For ARTIST category: Ask the team in play, "which genre do you choose?" and list the genres on the card. Then, your own team must decide which artist to challenge them with.
...
8. 45secs to name SONG TITLES. Start the timer once the question is FULLY read out.
Everyone is to keep track of the score by counting with their fingers in the air.
...
9. Agree on the amount of points scored. GK notes them down. 1 Round is complete when all teams have had a turn answering the same category.
Play as many rounds of each category as you wish. Or play 3 rounds to complete 1 game!
TEAM WITH THE MOST POINTS WINS!
BONUS ROUNDS
...
1. USE YOUR HEAD - Double Points
SAME GAME, BUT pick a category and think of your own options for opponents (1min)
...
2. PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS - Double Points
(pens & paper or phones needed)
For this round, each team thinks of an ARTIST they know BEST
Whisper choices to the GK. GK must then announce a choice at random (to prevent cheating).
All teams have 1min to race and write down as many song titles as possible by the Artist called out.
Then hand all answer sheets to the GK and check answers as a group. Repeat until all Artist choices have been called out.
TIP: Pick the teammate who writes the fastest.
