Dialed Tempo
Rate itRebuild a beat one track at a time by tapping each note as it lands; one shared daily beat with one attempt.
on dialed.gg
Tempo is the rhythm game on Dialed. You rebuild a beat one track at a time, kick first, tapping each note as it reaches the centre circle, and you are scored on how tightly each tap lands. The Daily gives everyone the same beat with a single attempt and a daily high-score board; past Dailies can be replayed.
About Dialed Tempo
Dialed is a set of quick browser games about perception and memory, and Tempo is its test of timing. A beat is built from several tracks, such as kick, snare and hi-hat. You hear and see the pattern, then tap each note as it falls into the centre circle, one track at a time, until the whole beat is rebuilt.
Scoring is about precision: taps within a few hundredths of a second of the note earn full marks, and points fall away as you drift. A metronome can be switched on to help. Outside the Daily, packs of songs unlock one after another, from hip-hop hits such as Still D.R.E. and HUMBLE. to beats in house, garage, drill, phonk and amapiano styles, rated easy to brutal.
The Daily is one beat chosen for everyone that day, reset at midnight UTC. On 21 October 2026 it had seven tracks, starting with the kick. You get one attempt, then share your score and compare with others, and earlier Dailies stay available to replay. You can also send a song challenge to friends by link so they rebuild the same beat, or host a live round and play at the same time.
Tempo runs in the browser with no account. The site carries ads, including a short video ad before the daily at phone size, with a paid ad-free plan from $1.99 a month. It suits drummers, rhythm game fans and anyone who likes to tap along to music.

Questions
Is the daily beat the same for everyone?

Do I need an account?
No. It runs in the browser with no sign-up; initials are enough for the high scores.

Yes, with ads. A paid plan from $1.99 a month removes them.
