TL;DR<\/p>\n

Spotify appears to be working on a new music-guessing game for its Android app.
\nThe company previously acquired Heardle, which offered a similar experience on the web.
\nIt\u2019s not yet clear if this game would be a mobile version of Heardle, or something all new.<\/p>\n

Who among us doesn\u2019t take a bit of pride in their musical taste? Maybe you\u2019re the one in the friend group who\u2019s always sharing their latest playlist, or is first in line to brag about their Spotify Wrapped<\/a> achievements. Spotify may be about to give you one more way to prove your fandom, as we uncover evidence that could point to work on a new music-guessing game.<\/p>\n

If you got a bit of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu when we mentioned a Spotify music-guessing game, there\u2019s probably good reason for that. Remember back when we were all playing Wordle, and its popularity spun off countless copycats across every kind of media you could think of? That included plenty of music-based games, and one of them caught the eye of Spotify<\/a>: Heardle. The company ended up acquiring Heardle, but after keeping it running on the web for a year, Spotify ultimately shut Heardle down back in May 2023.<\/p>\n

While we never saw Heardle make its way to Spotify\u2019s mobile app, we\u2019re wondering if the company could be about to take another stab at this kind of music game. Looking through Spotify\u2019s recent 9.1.22.645 update, we can see a few newly added text strings that pretty clearly reference a music-guessing game:<\/p>\n

At this stage, that\u2019s really the sum of the evidence that we have \u2014 we haven\u2019t yet uncovered any visual assets associated with this game, and don\u2019t seem to be able to get the app to offer us an early look at the gameplay in action. But while that\u2019s disappointing, we\u2019re still jazzed at the idea that Spotify seems to be thinking of adding a mode like this to its app.<\/p>\n

Could there be a social component that lets you compete with your friends to name songs first in head-to-head play? Or maybe just leaderboards for showing off your high score? There are plenty of different ways Spotify could go with this, and what we ultimately get may end up very different from Heardle.<\/p>\n

Hopefully we\u2019ll be able to dig up further progress towards this feature in future Spotify updates, because we still have plenty of questions about how this game might work. And any opportunity we might get along the way to show off our own music-recognition chops would only be a bonus!<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
