The goal. Five puzzles a day, the same five for everyone. Each one starts at a band and ends at the band in the red box. Work your way down: pick someone who played in the current band, then pick another band that person played in, and keep going until you arrive.
Picking. Every member is shown. Crossed-out names are wrong turns that won't get you closer.
Changing your mind. Every name higher up the tree can be tapped. Tap a band, or a musician you picked (marked β©), to go back to that point. Tap a different musician in any group to go back there and take them instead. Each step you undo costs 10 points and one move, and so does the switch. The cost shows when you hover.
Hints. The π‘ tells you how many names in the group get you closer, then crosses off wrong turns one at a time. It never names the answer, and it disappears when there's nothing left to narrow down. Each one costs 20 points.
Scoring. Reaching the target in par hops is worth 100, plus up to 20 for time left on the clock. You lose 20 for each hop over par, 20 for each hint, 15 for each wrong guess, and 10 each time you back up or swap. Any finish is worth at least 10.
Scoring zero. Three wrong guesses, running out of moves, running out of time, or giving up.
Band membership comes from MusicBrainz and counts official members only, not touring or session players.
