TuneGuessr
Listen to a piece of music and guess which country it comes from.
Every day: One music clip a day from somewhere in the world, the same for everyone: you have five tries to name the country it comes from, with a compass, a warm or cold colour and more audio and hints after each guess. Past puzzles are in an archive. New puzzle: Midnight Eastern Time (the game's How to Play says midnight EST).
TuneGuessr plays a short clip of music and asks which country it is from. Each wrong guess shows how far off you are and in which direction, and unlocks more of the track plus hints such as the genre and instruments. There is one numbered puzzle a day and an archive of earlier ones.
About TuneGuessr
TuneGuessr is a daily browser game that joins a music quiz with a map game. Its puzzles are numbered by day and began in 2026. Each one is a single track by an artist from some country, taken from the Jamendo music library under a Creative Commons licence, so the answer is rarely a famous song: you are listening for a style, a language or an instrument rather than a title.
The first clip is five seconds long. You type a country and submit it. The game answers the way Worldle does: a compass needle points from your guess toward the answer, and a colour from Freezing to Boiling tells you how close you are, with a Borders label when you have picked a neighbour. Every guess also lengthens the clip, to 10, 15, 20 and finally 30 seconds, and unlocks a written hint in order: the genre, the instruments and then the region. You have five tries, and the answer shows the artist and track.
Past puzzles can be opened from the archive, and your results for each day are kept in the browser. There is no account.
Most geography dailies show you a shape, a flag or a photo, and most music dailies ask for a song title. TuneGuessr asks you to hear where music comes from, which suits people who listen widely across world music, folk and regional pop, and anyone who likes Worldle-style direction clues.
How to play TuneGuessr
- Press play and listen to the first five seconds of today's clip.
- Type the country you think the music comes from and submit it.
- Read the compass and the colour to see which way and how far the answer is.
- Listen to the longer clip and read the new hint: genre, then instruments, then region.
- Find the country within five tries, then share your result or open the archive.
Tips
- Listen for the language of any vocals before anything else; it often narrows the answer to a region.
- Use your first guess on a large, central country so the compass gives a useful direction.
- A Borders label means the answer is next door: try the neighbours in the direction of the needle.
- The region hint only comes with the fourth guess, so use the genre and instruments to get close before then.
Questions
When does TuneGuessr reset?
The game's How to Play says a new puzzle arrives every day at midnight EST.
How many guesses do I get?
Five. Each one lengthens the clip and unlocks a hint.
What hints are there?
A compass toward the answer and a closeness colour after every guess, plus the genre, the instruments and the region, one at a time.
Can I play past days?
Yes, earlier puzzles are in the archive.
Where does the music come from?
From the Jamendo library of independent music under Creative Commons licences, so most tracks are by lesser known artists.
