How to Play
Know it as aux wars? Same game, same rules: here is how to play aux wars online.
Create or join a room
One player creates a room and shares the 4-letter code. Everyone else joins with the code and a display name, no account needed.
Get a topic
A random music topic is picked for the round, like "best song to play at a house party" or "song that hits different at 3am".
Submit your song
Everyone pastes a Spotify, YouTube or SoundCloud link for the track they think fits the topic best, depending on the sources the room allows.
Listen and vote
The room plays every submission back blind and each player rates it 1โ5 stars on how well it answers the topic.
See who wins
The highest average rating takes the round, submitters are revealed, and the leaderboard carries the score into the next one.
โ No Spotify Premium or app needed. Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud all play right in the browser: log into Spotify for the full track, or skip it and get a 30 second preview.

What's New
๐๏ธ Twitch streamer stage redesign: the prompt wheel, submissions and a live submitter feed now share one screen, so opening submissions never throws you off the page you were just streaming on.
๐ก Prompt wheel for code-join battles: friend groups can now spin for a prompt too, with custom wheel prompts and respins, instead of only picking from a list.
๐ฅ Anonymous bracket submissions: hide who submitted each song until the round is over, so chat votes for the song, not the person.
๐ Bigger song search: results now pull in Deezer and SoundCloud alongside Spotify and YouTube, so more songs turn up as you type.
โก Fewer search hiccups: a smarter cache and rate limiter keep song search working smoothly even during traffic spikes.
Why I Built This
Me and my friends have been playing aux battles for years. Someone would pick a theme, everyone thinks of prompts, we write them on a notepad, then pick from them randomly, and then the battles start. We did it manually for a long time, but there was a problem. We argued over ratings, and nobody could ever agree on who actually won.
When I looked for an app where we could play. Every one I found wanted an account, a login, or a paywall. For a game you want to start in 10 seconds at a party. Diabolical.
So I just built it myself. No accounts. Nothing to download. Paste a 4-letter code in the group chat and everyone's in. The chaos is still there, the setup isn't.
Fun fact
The whole thing was built in about a week. Sleep was optional :).
Fun fact
Spotify embeds play at 100% volume by default and there's no way to change it. SoundCloud's widget does let you set volume, but it's linear, so anything above 15% is already blaring.
