How to Play Bandle
Bandle works by playing isolated musical tracks one instrument at a time, and the goal is to name the hidden song within six tries. The game starts with a single instrument playing a short snippet, usually the drums or the rhythm section. Players type the song name into the search bar, where autocomplete helps with the entry.
If the guess is wrong, another instrument joins the mix, so the music gets fuller and easier to recognize with each failed attempt. After six guesses, the game reveals the answer.
