A browser-based game that asks players to identify songs from the shortest possible audio clip, alone or in rooms with friends.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

Hookline supports several play paths: solo guessing, private rooms joined by code, 1v1 matches, and an open-match search. Its interface separates the game loop from scores, feed activity, final results, and a global leaderboard, while song metadata comes from Spotify and audio previews from Deezer. The leaderboard currently contains no scores, so the public competitive layer appears to be awaiting its first recorded participants.
