Spotlight Show

Goal of the game

In Spotlight Show you play with the pitch of your voice (hum low or high). A star performer dances across the stage. Your hum moves the spotlight: LOW notes swing it left, HIGH notes swing it right. Keep the star inside the light to score every second — long streaks earn encores.

Shadow ghosts sneak onto the stage to steal the show: shine the light on them to burn them away before they reach the star (that costs a life). Leaving the star in the dark too long also costs a life. Power-ups fall onto the stage — catch them in the spotlight: Slow-Mo, Double Points and Giant Spotlight. Tune the 🎚️ sensitivity slider for your room.

Scoring and levels

Points in Spotlight Show come from the code-defined rewards of 10 and 15 points for different actions, so the bigger moves are worth chasing.

Tips and strategy

• Don't chase every pickup in Spotlight Show — grab only the ones on your safe path.
• Rhythm matters in Spotlight Show: watch one full cycle before you act, then act on the beat.
• Save your focus for the moment a Freeze or Slow-Mo starts — that is when Spotlight Show gives you free points.
• Play Spotlight Show in a quiet room, then try it at a party — the louder the crowd, the funnier it gets.
• Replay Spotlight Show a few times: each run teaches you the patterns, and scores usually double after the first five games.

Device requirements and privacy

Spotlight Show needs a microphone — the one built into your phone, laptop or headset is enough. Allow microphone access when asked; the sound is analysed live in your browser and never uploaded. It is free to play; free players may see a short ad between rounds (never during play), and Premium removes all ads.
