Each card features a tiny mashup pointing to a band. Your job is to say the name in your head, then click. Let instincts drive. Think posters, radio hooks, festival shirts. The picture pokes memory. You catch it and move.
Rules are gentle. Rebus pieces combine. Rhymes help. Homophones help. Numbers nudge. Colors shout. Objects stack into a band name you’ve shouted before. If two clues feel off, the third usually nails it. Watch spacing and order.
Go fast. Laugh at the misses. New card resets the mood. By the final card you’ll feel the answer before you even scan all icons. That is the fun. Keep water nearby. Victory dances optional.
