How it works

  1. Flip a card

    A six-second clip from the 2000s collection plays. Listen for the hook.

  2. Find its pair

    Somewhere on the board is the same song (or its artist or title, depending on the mode). Remember where things are.

  3. Beat the clock

    Fewer moves and a faster time mean more stars. Share your result or challenge a friend to the same board.

Three ways to play

Questions

How does the 2000s music quiz work?

It is a memory game with sound. Cards are face down; flip one and a six-second clip of a 2000s song plays. Flip a second card and, if it is the same song, the pair stays open. Find every pair to finish; fewer moves and a faster time earn more stars.

Do I have to know the lyrics or the artist?

Not in Classic mode: you only need to recognize that two clips are the same song. Song ↔ Artist and Song ↔ Title modes add a card with the name of the artist or the song, so you have to know who sings it or what it is called.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes, and no. BeatMatch is free to play in the browser and as an app, with no sign-up. Connecting Spotify is optional and only needed to play with your own playlists.

Can I play against a friend?

Yes. Start a Duel with the 2000s collection, send the invite link and you both play the exact same board in real time, turn by turn. There is also a daily challenge with one shared board for everyone and a ranking.
