How Beatblitz works.
Beatblitz is a daily speed-trivia music game. You see three prompts (e.g., "Songs that won a Grammy in the 2010s", "Tracks longer than seven minutes", "Albums with one-word titles"). Pick one. The timer starts. Type as many correct answers as you can before it dies.
The rules
- Three prompts shown at the start of each daily Beatblitz.
- Pick exactly one prompt. That choice is final.
- The timer starts the moment you pick.
- Type answers and submit; correct ones lock in and add to your count.
- Same three prompts for everyone every day, so the leaderboard is fair.
How points work
Each correct answer scores. Some Beatblitz modes give you bonus seconds for each correct answer (a streak that extends the timer). Others have a fixed clock. Wrong answers do not penalize, but they cost time. Your daily Beatblitz score is the total correct count, ranked against everyone else who picked the same prompt.
A worked round
Today's prompts are A) "Songs that won the Grammy for Record of the Year", B) "Tracks on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon", and C) "Songs that sample James Brown's 'Funky Drummer'". You know the Pink Floyd tracklist cold (B). You pick it, the timer starts at 60 seconds, and you start typing: "Speak to Me", "Breathe (In the Air)", "On the Run", "Time", "The Great Gig in the Sky"… each correct answer adds 3 seconds. You finish the album with 22 seconds to spare. Final count: 10/10.
Where the answer lists come from
Answer lists are hand-curated and edge cases are flagged (e.g., for "songs that sample X", the list uses the most widely-acknowledged samples per Whosampled and similar credit databases). Disputes go to support@criticscale.com.
