# HackMusic

> HackMusic is a browser-based multiplayer music party game for private, in-person events. One host phone controls a shared speaker while guests submit secret Spotify tracks and react together.

Canonical site: https://hackmusic.fun

## How it works

- A host creates a temporary room and shares its six-character code or invite URL.
- The host can start immediately or open a pre-party lobby so guests can join and queue songs ahead of time; only the host starts playback.
- Guests join from any modern browser without installing an app.
- Every participant starts with 30 points and can submit secret songs.
- A cheer plays a happy sound and awards the song submitter 3 points.
- A boo plays a funny sound and costs the submitter 3 points; three boos skip the song.
- Cheer identities are visible. Boo identities remain anonymous to participants.
- The host chooses submitted order, pure random, or a fair-ish participant shuffle.
- The home page keeps device-local shortcuts to rooms created in that browser so the host can reopen them without an account.
- Scores are revealed when the host ends the event.
