How to Play Kpopless
Kpopless is a free daily K-pop music guessing game. Every day at midnight UTC, 3 new songs are selected from our library of over 2,000 tracks. Listen to short audio snippets, guess the song title and artist, and see how you compare to players worldwide.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Press Play — Click the play button to hear a short audio snippet of a K-pop song. The first snippet is just 1 second long.
- Search and Guess — Type your guess in the search bar. Our autocomplete helps you find the right song by title or artist name. Select your answer and submit.
- Skip or Try Again — Wrong guess? Each attempt unlocks a longer snippet. You get 6 tries per song. If you can't figure it out, hit "Give Up" on your final attempt to reveal the answer.

The earlier you guess correctly, the better your score. Aim for a 1-guess win to top the leaderboard!
Tips for Guessing
- Listen for distinctive elements: Opening beats, vocal hooks, instrumentals, or unique production can narrow down the artist.
- Use the search bar: Start typing partial song titles or artist names — autocomplete will suggest matches from our full library.
- Think about eras: Sound and production style often hint at the generation (1st through 5th gen).
- Don't rush: You have 6 attempts. Use early guesses to eliminate possibilities before committing.
- Know the library: Familiarize yourself with what K-pop songs and artists are in the game.
Daily Reset
New songs are selected every day at midnight UTC (7 PM EST / 4 PM PST / 9 AM KST). The same 3 songs are served to all players worldwide. The algorithm ensures no repeated artists in a single day and avoids recently-played songs for variety.
