This month, enjoy the ultimate music game – Beat the Intro – on Alexa. Join Moozzo – music expert and host – as you try to guess the song title and artist of the track as quickly as you can.
Play on your own or compete with friends (up to 16 at a time) and choose from three different play modes – ‘The Daily Challenge’, to guess three new tracks each day, ‘Echo Buttons Mode’, to buzz in to answer each track using the buttons on your Echo device when playing with friends and ‘Team Mode’, where each person takes it, in turn, to guess the track as fast as they can. Just say, “Alexa, open Beat the Intro”, “Alexa, play greatest hits” or “Alexa, play with friends”.
Other features include ‘fun track facts’ – learn something new every day with fun facts about artists, songs and the music you love – and ‘weekly leader boards’ where you compete to have the highest daily challenge score for the week.
Play Beat the Intro for free and access playlists such as ‘Greatest hits of all time’ and ‘Today’s hits’ or subscribe to Beat the Intro Unlimited (a monthly subscription service with an initial 7-day trial period) to play with top hits from categories including Pop, Hip Hop, Country, Motown, 80s, 90s and more!
