Welcome to Statt Land, Song — the free online music quiz where speed and knowledge both count. Here is everything you need to know to jump straight into a game.

1. Choose Your Mode

Start by selecting how you want to play. Solo mode lets you practice alone against the clock. Private lobby generates a shareable code so you can invite friends, family, or colleagues — perfect for game nights and remote team events. Global lobby puts you instantly into a live session with players from around the world, no invitations or codes required.

2. Pick a Playlist

Each lobby lets the host choose one of several curated playlists. Options range from all-time Bangers and Rock Classics through to decade-specific collections covering the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, as well as current Billboard chart hits. New playlists are added regularly so there is always something fresh to discover.

3. Listen and Guess

Once the game starts, a short audio preview of a song plays for every player simultaneously. Your job is to identify:

• Artist — who recorded the song?
• Title — what is the song called?
• Genre — which musical genre does it belong to?
• Release year — when was it originally released?

You do not have to answer every field — partial answers still earn partial points. Accuracy matters, but so does speed: the first player to submit a complete answer locks the round and stops the timer for everyone else.

4. Score and Climb

Points are calculated from two components: correctness (how accurately you identified each field) and time (how quickly you submitted). After all rounds the final leaderboard ranks every player, with a per-category breakdown so you can see exactly where you excelled or lost ground. The faster and more accurate you are, the higher you climb!

Tips for New Players

• You can submit before the snippet ends — do not wait for it to finish if you already know the answer.
• Guessing the year within one or two years still earns near-full points for that field.
• Genre recognition often comes from the instruments and production style, not just the melody.
• Practice in solo mode to get familiar with the scoring before competing against others.
