HOW TO PLAY

MusicChain challenges players to link songs through five types of connections: keywords (Easy Mode), artists, featured performers, writers, and producers. Each round gives you 45 seconds to find a song that shares at least one of these elements with your opponent's choice

GAME RULES

1. There's only 45 seconds per turn to make your connection
2. Link songs through shared keywords in song title (only in easy game mode), artists, features, writers, or producers
3. Must have verifiable connection through music databases
4. Last player to successfully link wins the round

WHAT ARE KEYWORDS? (EASY MODE)

The best way to understand keywords is to ask what aren't keywords

1. Keywords aren't articles like the, and an etc.
2. Keywords aren't prepositions like about, above and across etc.
3. Keywords aren't pronouns like I, me and you etc.
4. Keywords aren't compound prepositions like according to, because of and due to etc.

PRO TIPS

1. Study album credits to discover hidden producer connections
2. Learn about frequent collaborators in different genres
3. Remember featured artists often appear on multiple tracks
4. Popular producers like Max Martin have worked with hundreds of artists

LIFELINES

Can't think of a song? Almost out of time? Use a lifeline

1. REVEAL

   Use the REVEAL lifeline to see featured artists, producers and writers of the previously linked song.
   
2. SKIP

   Use the SKIP lifeline to skip your turn. This will force your opponent to link to a song they just played.
   
3. ADD TIME

   Use the ADD TIME lifeline to add additional 15 seconds to your turn.
