What is a blind test? How to easily play this music quiz online with friends
More and more people are hosting an “online blind test”, but maybe you have no idea what that actually means. In this article, I explain what a blind test is, why it has become a party staple, and above all how you can easily run one with your friends (even remotely).
Spoiler: it only takes a few clicks, and it even works with your own Spotify or Deezer playlists.
So, what exactly is a blind test?
A blind test is a music quiz where you listen to song snippets and have to guess as fast as possible the title and/or the artist. The name says it all: you test your music knowledge blind, just by listening.
It’s simple, effective, and above all: it always makes an impression at a party.
Why do we love blind tests so much?
Because they work every single time. You don’t need to be a music expert: even if you only recognise an old classic or a guilty-pleasure hit from the 2000s, you’re in the game.
It’s fun, fast, competitive, and most of all it creates unforgettable bursts of laughter. And with the right tools, it’s super easy to get started.
