About Musicle.fun

Musicle at musicle.fun is a daily music connection puzzle made by Reuben Johns. Each day's puzzle is dated and shows two artist cards: the start and the target. The aim is to get from one to the other by moving only between artists who have actually worked together.

When you play, the current artist's page lists their collaborations, each with the song that links them, and a second tab of soundtrack credits. Picking one moves you to that artist, a move counter goes up, and a breadcrumb trail shows the path so far. The puzzle is solved when you land on the target, and the fewer moves the better.

Everyone gets the same pair each day, and the game keeps your streak. A Hard Mode is offered for players who want a tougher route, a random challenge mode gives extra pairs, and Play with Friends lets a group race the same puzzle.

It is a cousin of six-degrees and Wikipedia-chain games, and suits listeners who know who has featured on whose records across pop, hip-hop and older music.
