What is Bandle?
Bandle is a daily music quiz that builds a song up layer by layer. You start by hearing just one part of a well-known song, usually the drums, and try to name it. Every wrong guess or skip adds another layer, such as bass, piano or guitar, until the whole band is playing. The singing only arrives near the end, so the real challenge is recognising a song from its rhythm and instruments alone. You have six chances, and the final one comes with an extra hint. It's surprisingly hard and very satisfying, because it makes you listen to familiar music in a new way and notice the parts you normally hear only in the background. Bandle was created by Johann Levy, a programmer in Marseille, and it has grown a large daily community. It suits music fans, musicians and anyone who loves a pop quiz, and it's best played with sound on.
How to play
- Listen to the first layer of the song and guess the title.
- Each wrong guess or skip adds another instrument.
- Name the song within six tries.
