The song starts, but at triple speed: squeaky voice, racing melody. Do you know it? In Fast Forward everyone hears the same song at the same moment and guesses both the artist and the title. They go in separate boxes and score separately, so you might know the artist but not the title, or the other way round.
If nobody gets it, the song drops a speed: 3.0x, 2.2x, 1.6x, 1.25x and finally normal speed. Each speed lasts 15 seconds, and if everyone still guessing presses Pass it slows down right away. The faster it plays when you get it, the more points: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, plus 1 for being first on each part.
In the lobby, pick a list: Local, International or Mixed, and 8, 12 or 16 songs. The English list is packed with songs everyone knows, from Queen and Michael Jackson to Taylor Swift and The Weeknd, plus global hits. The reveal shows the cover and a link to the full song.

How to play
Goal
Everyone hears the same song at the same moment, but at triple speed: the voice goes squeaky.
Guess the artist and the title. There are two boxes, each scored separately.
Each speed lasts 15 seconds. If nobody gets it, the song slows down: 3.0x, 2.2x, 1.6x, 1.25x, and finally normal speed.
Keep your sound on. No sound? Tap the "Turn sound on" button.
Points
Per part, by the speed when you got it: 5 at 3.0x, 4 at 2.2x, 3 at 1.6x, 2 at 1.25x, 1 at normal speed.
The first to get the artist, and the first to get the title, earn +1 each.
Wrong guesses are only shown to you; try again as often as you like.
Most points wins; ties go to more parts solved, then more firsts.
Pass and reveal
Stuck? Press Pass. When everyone who hasn't solved both parts has passed, the song drops a speed right away.
Once everyone has both parts, or normal speed runs out, the answer is revealed.
The reveal shows the cover, artist, title and who got what at which speed. The song keeps playing at normal speed.

Typing answers
Capitals, accents, punctuation and spaces don't matter.
On longer answers, a one-letter typo still counts.
Parts in brackets and "feat." are optional, and so is a leading "The".

FAQ
How do you play?
Create a room, share the link and pick Fast Forward. The song plays for everyone at the same time at triple speed. Type the artist and the title in their boxes and press Enter. If nobody gets it, the song slows down.
How does scoring work?
Each part scores by the speed when you got it: 5 at 3.0x, 4 at 2.2x, 3 at 1.6x, 2 at 1.25x, 1 at normal speed. The first player to get the artist, and the first to get the title, earn +1 each.
I can't hear anything. What now?
