Bruno Mars Song Quiz

You hear one second of a real Bruno Mars 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 Bruno Mars 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 Uptown Funk, Just the Way You Are, 24K Magic, Grenade, Locked Out of Heaven. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so Uptown Funk opening on a verse and Uptown Funk opening on the chorus are two completely different puzzles.

Harder than the mixed pop & hits quiz. When every round is Bruno Mars, the genre and era clues you normally lean on in the first second are gone, so you are separating Just the Way You Are from 24K Magic on texture alone. Most casual listeners need three or four seconds a track; regulars get there in one.

No, but it helps. Knowing Bruno Mars and recognising Bruno Mars 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.
