Do you like the game skribbl.io ? Do you like blind tests ? You're gonna like rad.io ! rad.io is a multiplayer game, where players take turns singing a random song to the others with the help
of lyrics. At the same time, the other players try to guess the song. The first one to guess the song,
gets the most points. The more players guess the song, the more points the singer gets. Also, if you are
too shy to sing, you can let a bot sing all the songs for you. Users can create their own playlist to play with
friends or download pre-existing playlists from Spotify.
If you are shy, you can still play without singing, in that case a robot will read out the lyrics of a song for you.
It is available as an Android application on android 7.0 and newer versions.
You can create your own playlist with a selection of songs you like, or simply use one of the provided starter playlists. You simply create a game that other players can join by typing the id of your lobby or scanning a QR code. When everyone is ready, you can launch the gam and have fun !
