The birthday-party classic

Musical Chairs

The band plays and everyone circles the chairs. When the music stops — grab one! There's always one chair too few. Last one sitting wins.

Who's playing

Players3

Each player owns a colour zone on the edge of the screen — tap yours. On a keyboard, each player has a key.

Level

Circle the chairs. The band plays — a brass band, a dhol groove, a waltz or a raga gat, all on G — and everyone's token dances round.
Sit the instant the moment comes. In Eyes that's when the music stops. Tap too soon — while the music is still playing — and you've jumped the gun: you're out.
One chair too few. The slowest to sit is left standing and goes out. A chair goes every round. The last one sitting wins.
Ears, for musicians. Level 1: the tune comes home to Sa. Level 2: a wrong note. Level 3: a perfect cadence (V–I), not the deceptive V–vi. Level 4: sam of teentaal. Level 5: the raga changes. After every round, hear the moment again.
