r/Bandle

My partner and I do the daily Bandle together every day and it's our little ritual together (for 560 days so far!) We both love Bandle and appreciate all the work that goes into it 😊

Usually we can watch an ad if we've ever missed a day and it's never been a problem. We did today's Bandle (not realising that we'd missed yesterday's) and the option to replay only came up after we'd done today's guess. The only options we had were to pay $1.99 to keep the streak or skip and restart, so I paid $1.99 not realising that it wouldn't actually let us go back and play the previous day. So then I had to pay another $2.99 just to play yesterday's Bandle too. I'd definitely suggest making it clearer to players that the $1.99 option only lets you keep the streak and doesn't let you actually replay the previous day.

Are you no longer allowed to replay the previous days bandle with a AD? Is it paywalled behind a song pack now?

Like many of you I love this game! Mr Bandle will know where his players are from and where plays more etc but I’m interested, especially when readying some comments on instagram i get Spanish vibes and can imagine players as far as South America 🙌🏼

Or, drop a comment if you wanna share 🧡

A couple of days ago I posted about songs I’d never heard before that still had 90%+ success rates in Bandle.

Now, I thought I’d do the opposite. Here are 10 songs I thought would have a be massive easy hits in Bandle that all ended up with a 20% success rate or lower:

• Roger Glover - Love Is All
• Woodkid - Iron
• Bryan Ferry - Slave to Love
• Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid
• Billy Joel - Pressure
• Duran Duran - Come Undone
• The Connells - '74-'75
• Tony Christie - Is This The Way To Amarillo
• Suzanne Vega - Luka
• F.R David - Words

Apparently songs from the last century are becoming a niche genre now!

What about you, what’s a Bandle song you were shocked to see had a low success rate?

This was just to make us old people feel good getting it in 1and I appreciate it.

One of the weirdest parts of making Bandle is discovering songs I’d somehow never heard before... only to find out they’re ridiculously easy for players.

Here are 10 songs I’d never heard before covering for Bandle that all ended up with over 90% success rate:

• Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA
• Lil Nas X - Old Town Road (ft. Billy Ray Cyrus)
• Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
• Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
• Tones and I - Dance Monkey
• Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass
• Miley Cyrus - Flowers
• Macklemore - Thrift Shop
• Justin Bieber - Sorry
• Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble

Apparently I completely missed large parts of ultra-mainstream 2010s pop culture! And in my defense, Don't Stop Believin' was never really big here in France.

What about you, what are the most famous songs you somehow discovered for the first time through Bandle?

Hello! I bought this game (All the packs, the $30 one) to play with my family. My sister and I actually played this for like 6 hours straight tonight! Loving it so far! But I have some suggestions! I'm not sure if these are allowed, I only bought the whole thing earlier tonight, so feel free to delete if suggestions aren't allowed!

First, the movie soundtracks one... When I hear movie soundtracks, I think of OST's, not songs in the movies. Maybe make those two separate categories? Songs used in movies vs. movie themes y'know?

Secondly, I have some category ideas! I love the variety of genres, but I was a little sad to see no classical music! I think it'd be neat to include a bunch of classical music. You could have just "Classical" or if you wanted to be really organized you could have "Baroque Era Classical", "Classical Era Classical", "Romantic Era Classical", and "Modern Era Classical".

And more category ideas, which I am sorry in advanced if these aren't already done because of copyright... but maybe Disney Songs and Cartoon Themes as well! You could also do Halloween (think horror movies)!

I'm sorry again if suggestions aren't allowed!

The answer was allegedly "S&M" by Rihanna.

I thought I had it on 3, but when I tried to guess, I typed "S&" to let it show me suggestions, and I got "No matching song found.

It has to be something else!"

I get that the ampersand is a special character that might need escaping, but how is the end user supposed to fix that?

Or, was I the only one with that problem?

Am I crazy or does the original song just not have drums? The first clue threw me off completely because of that.
