Offbeat: the daily rhythm puzzle

This page did not finish loading.

The whole game runs inside the browser, and the code that draws it did not run in this one. Usually that means JavaScript is switched off, or an extension is blocking scripts on the page, though it can also mean something went wrong with how the site was published.

A reload fixes it most of the time, and so does opening it in a different browser. If it keeps happening, please tell me, because there is no analytics on this site and a message is the only way I find out. Nothing is tracked either way.

All three games need sound, so headphones help.

How to play

All three games need sound, so headphones help.

A short drum beat plays once, and it is up to you to work out where the hits landed by ticking them on the grid.

Watch the boxes fill as it plays

5 hits in this one

Press Listen. You get four clicks to count you in, and then the beat plays through once.
Tick the boxes where you think you heard a hit. If you want to compare, Mine plays your version back to you.
When it sounds right, press Submit.

The first box is already ticked for you, because every beat starts on the one.

There are two sounds to listen for. The quiet clicks are just the count, so you can ignore those. The sharp knocks are the ones you are marking.

If you get stuck, SOLO plays a single quarter of the bar on its own so you can pick it apart. It is not available on Hard.

After each guess the bar is marked in four groups rather than box by box. Green means that group is exactly right, yellow means you found the right number of hits but put them in the wrong places, and grey means it is off.

Beginner: eight boxes instead of sixteen, and it tells you how many hits are in each group.
Standard: the full sixteen boxes, with nothing telling you where the hits are.
Hard: faster again, with no clicks to lean on and no SOLO.
