The Music Quiz Party Game Your Smart Home Was Made For
Scan a QR code. Hear a song. Guess the year — or name the title and artist. Beats, laughs, rematches — all through your existing smart speakers.
How It Works
Install
Add Beatify to Home Assistant via HACS. Pick your speaker and music service.
Pick Music
Choose from 46 curated playlists or connect Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, or Tidal.
Party
Guests scan a QR code to join — no app needed. Songs play; guess the year or name the tune!
Features
Zero Friction
Guests scan a QR code. No apps. No accounts. 10 seconds from scan to playing.
Your Speakers
Works with Music Assistant, Sonos & Alexa — speakers you already own.
Your Music
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal. 46 curated playlists included.
Two Ways to Play
Guess the release year, or name the title & artist in free text — close calls go to a live 👍/👎 room vote.
Runs Locally
No cloud. No subscription. No data leaves your network.
Real Competition
Points, streaks, double-or-nothing bets, and a dramatic podium finale.
Easy Setup
Install via HACS, pick a speaker, choose a playlist. 5 minutes to party.
See It in Action
Slide to guess the release year — every second counts
The year drops. The room erupts. Gold confetti for exact guesses.
