Search tips
Artist and album searches usually create tighter games. Genre searches work well for parties because the answer choices cover more eras and styles.

How to Play Songo
Choose music, hear a short clip, then identify the song before the round moves on. The shorter the clip, the more points are on the table.
A good Songo search is specific enough to produce familiar songs and broad enough to make every answer choice plausible.
Basic rules
A round in four steps
- Search for an artist, album, or genre. Presets such as pop hits, rock classics, and country hits are available for quick starts.
- Pick how long the song preview should play. Short clips are harder and worth more.
- Listen to the clip and choose one of four song titles before moving to the next round.
- Compare scores at the end. Streaks and efficient listening help separate close games.
Scoring
Clip length changes the risk
| Clip length | Base points | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| 0.2 seconds | 1,000 | Use when you know an artist's production style. |
| 1 second | 600 | A balanced choice for most solo and local games. |
| 10 seconds | 125 | Useful when the song pool is unfamiliar or very broad. |
