Bring the Family Together

There’s this moment when you know you’ve found a really good mobile game. Your brain struggles to keep up with your hands. You scold yourself for missing an easy question. And even though it’s the holidays and you’re surrounded by family and friends, you’re determined to take them all down. Even Grandma.

SongPop 2 is music trivia at its finest—where all the answers are at the tip of your tongue. Start by picking a playlist, which ranges from classic hip-hop to country. Then choose your opponent. You could challenge the computer, sure, but it’s more fun to battle your Facebook friends or people you find by searching the app for their email—like everyone you just had dinner with.

The concept is simple: The app plays a song, and you try to tap the correct title or the artist from a multiple-choice list. But it’s not enough to be a Mariah Carey know-it-all. To win, you’ll need to listen to the first few seconds of a song, recall the title, and tap faster than anyone else. “Against All Odds” (1999, featuring Westlife), indeed.

SongPop 2 works particularly well for family gatherings. How much do the millennials know about ’90s R&B? How much do the Baby Boomers know about hip-hop classics? You’ll hear a lot of the phrase “back in my day.” And while everyone over a certain age depends on someone younger to explain Snapchat, SongPop 2 puts everyone on a level playing field. Apple Music integration lets you play a song after it comes up in the game—which is where another level of cross-generational education can begin.

Your grandma just sent you a notification from the other side of the room. She’s asking if she can trounce you in ’90s R&B right now.

Let her know she most definitely cannot.
