What Sound of Sliver is
Sound of Sliver is a music-recognition game built around a deceptively short prompt: a 300-millisecond opening snippet. Your job is to identify the song from that brief audio burst and answer as fast as you can. Each daily set includes ten songs, arranged from easy to hard, so early rounds warm you up before later ones demand quicker ears. Points are tied to response speed—the longer you hesitate, the fewer you keep. A new theme arrives each day, covering decades, genres, and scenes, and the full back catalogue of past sets stays available by genre. There is also Survivor mode, where you keep guessing until your points run out. The game is free and requires no account, so you can jump straight into the music.
How to play
When a daily set begins, you will hear a 300-millisecond snippet of a song. Use that sound to identify the title and then use the click wheel to select and confirm your answer. You will work through ten songs in a set, with difficulty increasing as you go. Answer right away to keep more points, since each moment of delay reduces your eventual score. After the daily set, you can revisit past sets by genre or switch to Survivor mode to continue guessing until your points are exhausted. No account is needed, so you can start playing immediately.
Tips
- Speed is part of the score: the longer you wait after the 300ms snippet, the fewer points you keep for that song.
- Use the daily theme structure—decades, genres, scenes—to focus your listening before the set starts.
- Replay past sets by genre when you want more practice without waiting for the next day's theme.
- Try Survivor mode when you want to keep playing beyond the ten daily songs; it only ends when your points run out.

No. The game is free and no account is required, so you can start playing immediately without signing up or providing any personal details.
How many songs are in a daily set?
Each daily set contains ten songs, ordered from easy to hard. The snippets are always 300 milliseconds long, and your score depends on how quickly you identify each one.
Can I play after finishing today's set?
Yes. Past sets are replayable by genre, and Survivor mode lets you keep guessing until your points run out, giving you more to do beyond the ten daily songs.
What happens if I take too long to answer?
Your points shrink the longer you take. The game encourages an immediate response by awarding fewer points as time passes after the 300-millisecond snippet plays.
