Video Game Music Quiz

A video game music quiz is a game where you listen to short clips of video game soundtracks and guess which game they're from. SoundTheGame plays 5-second audio previews and challenges you to identify the game from 4 possible answers.

Listen for characteristic themes, instruments, and mood. Each game has a unique sonic identity: Elden Ring uses dark orchestral swells, Persona 5 uses jazz-fusion, and Celeste uses ambient chiptune. The more you play, the better your ear gets.

The quiz features soundtracks from hundreds of games across all genres: Elden Ring, NieR: Automata, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hades, Persona 5, The Witcher 3, Undertale, God of War, Cyberpunk 2077, and many more. New games are added regularly.
