Album cover quiz · iPhone
CoverUp buries an album cover under heavy pixelation and starts the clock. Name the band before the image resolves — the faster you call it, the more it’s worth.
Up to three attempts, less pixelation each time.
Free on iPhone through Apple’s TestFlight app. Spots are limited.
A cover appears, pixelated, and the timer starts ticking.
Pick from the options on screen. Right answer, points banked — and the clock stops.
Get the band right and you can gamble the round on naming the album too. Missing the title never costs you what you already earned.
Finish the game and find out whether you’re a Vinyl Oracle, a Record Store Regular, or someone who bought the poster and never heard the album.
Drawn from the Rolling Stone 500, spanning the fifties to the twenties, across rock, hip hop, R&B, pop, electronic, country, punk, indie and jazz.
Easy for a relaxed dig. Normal for a fair fight. Hard drops an attempt. Crate Digger gives you one shot, three seconds and no mercy.
Play all of it, or narrow to 90s hip hop, 70s rock, or whatever corner you actually know.
Two players, one phone, separate scores, and a head-to-head at the end.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to dismiss, and nothing collected about you.
Every cover ships inside the app, so it plays on a plane or underground.
Questions, bugs, or a cover you’re convinced is impossible — email me and I’ll read it. Beta testers: the most useful thing you can send is the name of a cover that felt unfair, rather than merely hard.
CoverUp is in TestFlight now and headed for the App Store. Join the beta while there’s room.
