Badshah Song Quiz

You hear one second of a real Badshah 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 Badshah tracks per run, roughly two minutes, and the guess box suggests titles as you type so spelling never costs you a round.

Tracks are pulled live from the public catalogue, so the five you get change every run. Expect titles like DJ Waley Babu, Genda Phool, Paagal, Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so DJ Waley Babu opening on a verse and DJ Waley Babu opening on the chorus are two completely different puzzles.

Harder than the mixed bollywood quiz. When every round is Badshah, the genre and era clues you normally lean on in the first second are gone, so you are separating Genda Phool from Paagal on texture alone. Most casual listeners need three or four seconds a track; regulars get there in one.

No, but it helps. Knowing Badshah and recognising Badshah 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 Bollywood quiz first and come back.

Yes. No sign-up, no download, no cost. The Badshah Song Quiz runs in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop, and you can replay it as many times as you like because the Badshah tracks reshuffle each run.
