About the ABBA Song Quiz
ABBA's arrangements are dense with piano, strings and doubled female vocals, and almost every song announces itself within a bar. A good starting quiz if you are warming up.
- Dancing Queen
- Mamma Mia
- Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
- Waterloo
- Take a Chance on Me

Questions
How does the ABBA Song Quiz work?
You hear one second of a real ABBA recording and name it. Land it straight away and the round is worth five points. Miss or skip and the clip grows to two seconds, then four, seven and eleven, worth less every time. Five ABBA tracks per run, roughly two minutes, and the guess box suggests titles as you type so spelling never costs you a round.
Which ABBA songs come up?
Tracks are pulled live from the public catalogue, so the five you get change every run. Expect titles like Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Waterloo, Take a Chance on Me. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so Dancing Queen opening on a verse and Dancing Queen opening on the chorus are two completely different puzzles.
How hard is the ABBA quiz?
Harder than the mixed pop & hits quiz. When every round is ABBA, the genre and era clues you normally lean on in the first second are gone, so you are separating Mamma Mia from Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! on texture alone. Most casual listeners need three or four seconds a track; regulars get there in one.
Do I need to be a serious ABBA fan?
No, but it helps. Knowing ABBA and recognising ABBA in a single second turn out to be very different skills, which is why the first round humbles almost everyone. If it bites, try the wider Pop & Hits quiz first and come back.
Is the ABBA Song Quiz free?
Yes. No sign-up, no download, no cost. The ABBA Song Quiz runs in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop, and you can replay it as many times as you like because the ABBA tracks reshuffle each run.
