Mic Drop

This looks fun! Had to open two tabs on my phone to test it before I consider sending it out to others. I often play a “sing a song from a word” game with my sister so it’s cool to see a framework around it.

curious how you keep the lyric highlight in sync across players given this is browser audio, not a native client. each phone's audio pipeline has different buffering (bluetooth headphones alone can add 100-200ms of latency depending on the device), so if the highlighted line advances off local playback position rather than a shared server clock, two players on the same "beat" can end up seeing different words highlighted, which matters a lot for a game about lyrical timing. also on iOS safari specifically, an audio element started from one gesture and then paused/resumed later (someone switching tabs to grab a drink) can get stuck needing another user tap to resume playback, which for a fast round based party game would just look like the game silently broke for that person mid round.

I saw a real time multiplayer comedy open mic night game. I felt the premise was just fantastic even if it’s a moderation atom bomb. That and this are clever ideas.

I played this as a camp game when I was younger. You formed teams and just had to sing a song with a generic word like "love". Cute

Karaoke is kinda over-selling it. The entire game is just a 1-word prompt. Calling it a Singing game seems more accurate.
