Musical duel · One on one

Hit with your song.
Miss the format and you burn.

Music Fight is a game where two people take turns throwing YouTube songs at each other. If your opponent played Dream Theater, you have to answer from that same world. Come back with something unrelated and the referee won't forgive it.

    Dream Theater — Pull Me Under

    Referee: genre holds · +30

What is Music Fight?

Where your taste in music is actually put to the test.

🎵

Take turns

Paste a YouTube link and your song takes the stage. Then it's your opponent's word.

🧭

Hold the format

The opening song has to match the genre you agreed on; every song after that has to sit close to the one before it in genre, energy and world. A song that fits scores, one that doesn't costs you.

🟥

Show your card

Did your opponent's song break the format? Pull a yellow or a red card. If the referee agrees, a red ends the match.

What happens after you sign up?

Five steps to the stage.

  1. 1

    Set up your profile

    Pick an avatar and tick the genres you listen to (at least 3). All anyone sees is your nickname.

  2. 2

    Start a Music Fight

    Invite a friend with a link or a room code, or watch a live match with a code. Coming soon: fight the AI.

  3. 3

    Toss the coin, settle the genre

    Whoever is quicker tosses the coin and calls a side. Whoever holds the side that comes up opens the match; the one who loses picks the genre from what you both listen to.

  4. 4

    Listen, then decide

    You hear at least 60% of your opponent's song and then make your call. If you'd rather not wait, you can skip it without listening for -5 points.

  5. 5

    Play your song, take the points

    Once you've both played at least 3 songs you can press "End the Match" to finish. The winner takes a bonus and the points go to the leaderboard.

Rules

Short, and no bending them.

  • 🪙A match opens with a coin toss: whoever is quicker throws it, whoever is quicker calls heads or tails, and the other side falls to their opponent. Whoever holds the side that comes up plays the opening song.
  • 🎼The one who loses the toss picks the genre — the options come from the genres both profiles have in common. The winner may refuse that proposal once; the second pick is final. The opening song has to fit it.
  • 🟨🟥Each player gets 2 yellow and 1 red cards per match. A card stands only if the referee agrees: a red ends the match there and then and the player who got it loses, and a second yellow does the same. If the referee disagrees, the card is burnt and nothing changes.
  • 🎧You can't play a song or show a card before hearing at least 60% of your opponent's.
  • ⏭️You may skip the listening if you like: each skip costs you -5 points, with no limit. You can still show a yellow card on a song you skipped, but never a red one.
  • ⏱️Songs longer than 10 minutes are rejected, and the same song can't be played twice in one match.
  • 🤖Matches against the AI pay 50% of the usual points.
  • 🔞You must be at least 18 to sign up.

How does a match end?

Play on as long as you like, but no running away.

  • 🏁Once you've both played at least 3 songs and your counts are level, the match ends when you both press "End the Match". There's no upper limit — carry on as long as you want.
  • ⏳When it's your turn you have 5 minutes to send your song (the clock starts after the listening time for your opponent's). Run out and your opponent wins by default.
  • 🏳️You can give up at any point; whoever gives up loses the match.
  • 🚶Couldn't agree on a genre? Either of you can leave without losing points until the first song is played. One of you leaving is enough, and nobody is scored.
  • 🎁Win and draw bonuses are only paid if you both played at least 3 songs.
  • 🚪Rooms nobody joins within 30 minutes close on their own.

Chat and spectators

Anyone can watch, nobody can tip anyone off.

  • 👀Any match can be watched live with its room code. The players can close a match to spectators whenever they like. Spectators earn nothing.
  • 💬During a match players and spectators share one chat, text and emoji.
  • ⛔Naming a song, an artist, posting a link or dropping any hint in the chat is forbidden. The referee reads the chat too: two warnings, and the third violation restricts the account — no matches and no watching.
  • 🧼Bad language is masked automatically. You can report or block anyone bothering you.
  • 🗑️Chat messages are deleted when the match ends.
