The Speed of Sound

Friday August 15, 2025 6:00pm - 7:30pm CDT

W180

Get ready for a fast-paced music showdown where speed and accuracy are the keys to victory!

Round 1: The Qualifier

Players will hear a 15-20 second clip of a song.
Your goal: Identify the artist as quickly as possible.
Scoring is based on both accuracy and speed:
- The fastest 25% of correct answers earn 5 points.
- The next 25% earn 3 points.
- Anyone else who gets it correct earns 1 point.
After multiple rounds, the top 20 players advance to the final stage.

Round 2: The Showdown

The top 20 qualifiers take the stage in reverse order of their scores (20th place goes first, 1st place goes last).
Each player will hear a 15-second song clip and must correctly name the artist to stay in the game.
Get it wrong, and you're eliminated.
With each round, the song clip shortens by 1 second until only one player remains.

The Winner
The last player standing is The Speed of Sound Champion!
Are you ready to prove your music knowledge at the speed of sound? Let’s play!

Mega Sheep by Liquid Kourage

Sunday August 17, 2025 2:30pm - 4:00pm CDT

W180

It's back for a second year in a row, the game where it's not about knowing the right answer, but knowing which right answer will score big! Questions are designed to be accessible to a wide variety of knowledge levels and have many correct answers, but the true game is in anticipating what your fellow players will answer, because the more times a response is given, the fewer points it is worth! Can you avoid following the flock and earn this year's coveted Sheep hat?
