Faster / Piano game – Fastory

The Faster / Piano game mini-game is a musical, competitive mechanic that challenges your players to tap the black keys of a piano as fast as possible, in time with the music. Available on both mobile and desktop, this format energizes an event, brings a community to life, and enriches your fan experience.

What is it for?

The Piano game tests your participants' agility and speed against a custom musical backdrop: everyone tries to beat their best score by hitting the right keys in a row. It is an ideal gamification tool to:

Engage your communities around a fun, competitive challenge.

Create an interactive contest that rewards the best scores.

Collect qualified leads by adding a signup form.

Enrich the fan experience at concerts, matches, trade shows, or product launches.

How does a game play out?

The player taps the black piano keys in time with the music.

The score depends on accuracy and speed.

A game lasts 90 seconds by default, but goes on for as long as the player holds on to all their lives.

The acceleration option gradually increases the difficulty to challenge the best players.
