Play Band

🎸 WELCOME TO PLAY BAND

Play Band is a music trivia app for fans who enjoy bands, albums, release years, and artist facts. Each session uses simple tap controls on your phone. Play Band saves your crystal total, which difficulty tiers are open, and your recorded scores locally between visits.

Use a short break or a relaxed session to test what you remember about records and artists—and discover prompts that still surprise you.

🎮 HOW A ROUND WORKS IN PLAY BAND

Every round in Play Band shows one question at a time with four answer choices. Tap the option you trust before the per-question timer ends. You begin with three lives. A wrong answer or a timer hitting zero removes one life. If all lives are gone, the round ends in a defeat result.

Each correct tap increases your score. Play Band also adds extra points when you respond with time still on the clock, so quick thinking can raise your total. The game screen displays score, lives, difficulty name, and remaining seconds in a neon HUD layout built for portrait play.

Victory is based on correct answers, not a hidden score gate. On Easy and Medium, clear the round by reaching six correct answers while you still have at least one life. On Hard, you need seven correct answers under the same life rule. When you clear that goal, Play Band ends the round with a victory summary. If lives run out first, or the question set ends before you reach the goal, you see a defeat summary instead.

🎚 THREE DIFFICULTY TIERS

Play Band offers Easy, Medium, and Hard. Easy is open immediately. Medium becomes selectable after you complete a victorious Easy round. Hard opens after a victorious Medium round. Locked tiers on the Levels screen stay dimmed until you progress.

Easy draws up to eight questions per round with a 22-second timer on each prompt. Medium also uses up to eight questions with an 18-second timer and higher base points per correct tap. Hard uses up to ten questions with a 14-second timer and the stricter seven-correct clear condition.

Open the Levels screen to pick an unlocked tier. Buttons show a locked label when needed, and unlocked tiers can display your saved high score from past runs so you can compare your own progress.

💎 CRYSTALS IN PLAY BAND

Crystals are a saved counter inside Play Band, shown on the home screen. When a round finishes, the app adds crystals to your total using your score: victorious rounds use one conversion rate, and non-victory rounds use another, so stronger runs usually grow your crystal count faster.

Crystals are for tracking progress in this app only. Play Band does not include a store or spending screen for crystals—they accumulate as part of your personal stats.

📱 SCREENS YOU WILL USE

Home in Play Band lists your crystal count and three touch buttons: Play, Levels, and Rules. Play starts an Easy round right away. Levels lets you choose difficulty. Rules explains timers, lives, correct-answer goals, and how Medium and Hard unlock.

The quiz screen renders questions and answers with glowing panels and readable typography. After each round, a results page states Victory or Defeat, your score, how many answers were correct out of the questions played, and crystals added that round. From results you can play again on the same tier, open Levels, or go home.

🎵 QUESTION CONTENT

Play Band questions focus on music knowledge: band names, albums, years, stage names, instruments, and biography-style facts. The app picks prompts suited to the tier you selected, so Easy stays welcoming while Hard leans on deeper timeline and catalog details.

All interaction is tap-to-answer. There is no typing step and no drag puzzles—just read, tap, and move on.

✅ PROGRESS AND PRIVACY-FRIENDLY DESIGN

Progress stays on your device through Play Band’s local storage: crystals, unlocked tiers, and per-difficulty score records. You do not create a profile inside the app to play the quiz.
