Improving song guessing games through music track composition

Abstract

In this work we propose a different scheme for music guessing games, based on a constructive approach. By analyzing current available mobile games, we show the barriers that must be surpassed to make such games viable and how novel this work is. We have implemented a game prototype called “What’s the Song” and performed user tests with both usual and constructive approaches. A Likert questionnaire was answered by all users and it points out that the constructive approach improves game engagement and overall user experience.
