How to run your music quiz

Thirty questions make about half an hour of play. A few ways to vary the format:

• Team rounds. Three rounds of ten (easy, medium, hard), one point per answer. Add a bonus point for naming the year or the film.
• Blind test. Play ten seconds of a song and the first player to name the artist and the title wins the point. Our blind test tips cover how to prepare and how to win.
• Higher or lower. Name two artists and ask which has more streams. It's a great tie-breaker, and our billion streams club has plenty of numbers to build duels from.
• Decade round. Pick a decade and ask for the most streamed song, then check against our top 10 songs of every decade.
• Country round. Ask players to guess the most streamed song in their country, then reveal the answer from our guide to the most streamed song in every country.

If you play often, our guide to music games to play with friends has more ideas.
