Each turn, you'll see an album cover and four titles. Only one is the real deal. Your job is to tap the right one and keep moving. It’s quick to play and simple to learn, but sneaky to master.
Look for clues in the design. The color palette or fonts can tell you the decade. Look at the details—a specific prism, a rose, or even a crosswalk can point you to the right answer. Trust your gut more than the names.
Watch out for common traps like sequels and greatest-hits albums. If the title seems off but the art feels right, go with the art. Miss a card? No biggie. Just take a breath and move to the next one.
