SongPop

SongPop is a casual social game that belongs to the popular genre of musical quizzes. SongPop, developed by the American studio FreshPlanet, received the BAFTA award for the best online game of 2013 and the best facebook game of 2012. The title allows for cross-platform fun in browsers and on mobile devices with iOS and Android systems.

Mechanics

In SongPop, we challenge friends from social networking sites or randomly selected players from all over the world to test our knowledge of various musical genres. The rules are simple and boil down to guessing the right answer faster than the opponent by selecting one of the four available answers. Challenges are generated randomly, based on the playlists held by individual players. These, in turn, can be purchased as the game progresses for the currency gained with each subsequent duel (and can also be lost).

SongPop's strength is the huge number of playlists available, which regularly increases with the game's updates. These include those dedicated to specific genres of music (all kinds of rock, pop, dance, film and even jazz and classical music), specific periods (the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, etc.), specific countries and, of course, the most popular performers. Thanks to this, we can not only test our knowledge of our favorite genres but also constantly broaden our musical horizons with new styles, performers, time periods, etc. We can also test our knowledge of our favorite genres, as well as expand our musical horizons with new styles, performers, time periods, etc. The fun is enriched by links to YouTube and Spotify, allowing you to listen to the whole song or watch its music video and online shops (such as iTunes and Amazon), where you can buy the chosen song in digital form.

SongPop is available in both free and paid versions, thanks to which we can enjoy better quality music and an unlimited number of opponents. The creators have also foreseen optional microtransactions, thanks to which we can purchase a virtual currency (used to buy new playlists) and special power-ups, which allow us to eliminate two incorrect answers.
