Guides for game nights
Practical help for planning a night of music games — whether that is a house party, a family get-together or a group of friends on a video call. Written by the team that makes Top Tracks®.
Planning a game night
A good game night needs surprisingly little: the right number of people, a game everyone can pick up in a minute, and a host who keeps things moving without making it feel like homework. These guides cover the practical side — setting up phones, a TV and a speaker, choosing settings for mixed ages, getting the sound right on a call — as well as how Top Tracks itself works, so you can explain it to a room full of people with confidence.
Each guide stands on its own, so start with whichever fits your night. If you just want the complete rule book, the in-game How to play guide has every rule and setting.
