Music stories and hidden details for fans.

01 · Liner notes

1960s-80s, the sleeve tells the story

The first music trivia lived on the record sleeve. Fans flipped vinyl jackets to learn who wrote the song, who played the solo and where it was recorded, then traded those details like currency. Knowing the name behind a credit was the original deep cut, and it still powers the best trivia questions today.

Dato de juego: Credit questions remain the classic way to separate listeners from fans.
02 · Music press

1980s-90s, interviews build the lore

Music magazines and MTV turned studio life into public lore. Interviews revealed which hit was written in minutes, which band feud shaped an album and which video nearly ruined a budget. Those anecdotes gave songs a backstory fans could retell, and a retold story is one question away from being trivia.

Dato de juego: Studio anecdotes make the most memorable question material.
03 · Sample hunting

2000s-2010s, diggers trace every loop

Crate-digger communities and sample databases changed what counted as knowing a song. Fans traced hip-hop beats back to soul 45s, spotted the disco loop under a dance anthem and mapped who borrowed from whom across decades. Suddenly one track could hide three eras of music history inside it, and each layer became a fact worth asking about.

Dato de juego: Sample-source questions reward fans who listen across generations.
04 · Songtrivia

2020s, the facts become the game

Songtrivia closes the loop: the anecdotes, credits and sample trails fans have collected for decades are checked against the records, then turned into playable rounds. Start with the famous stories, work toward the deep-cut lore, and walk away knowing something new about a song you thought you knew by heart.

Dato de juego: Every round ends with the story behind the right answer.
