🎤 Song Title Chain

🕹️ How to play

1. Add players, pick rules: Add 2–12 players. A preset of "2 players · 15s · elimination · sing · homophone on" lets you start with zero setup; open "House rules" to change mode, timer, penalty and the homophone switch.
2. See the character, name a song in time: The phone draws a random starting character as referee. On your turn, name a song starting with that character before the countdown ends; whether it counts is decided by everyone — the app never checks a song database.
3. Tap "Connected" and chain the tail: Tap "Connected" to freeze the timer and type the full title (for a shareable set-list) or just one tail character; the app takes the last Chinese character as the next player's required character and resets the clock.
4. Get stuck, crown the champion: Running out of time or tapping "I'm stuck" triggers the penalty. Elimination knocks out the stuck player until one remains; scoring gives fixed chances and compares totals; casual never ends until you tap "End game".

📖 Rules & variants

Basics: one phone on the table is the referee timer and draws a starting character. On your turn you must name a song starting with it before the clock runs out, then tap "Connected" and enter the title or tail character; the app takes the tail (the last Chinese character) as the next player's required character. Whether a song is real is decided by the players — the app only tracks whose turn it is, the required character, the chain, and who got stuck; no song bank, no network lookup.

Getting stuck & penalties: the countdown hitting zero or tapping "I'm stuck" marks a stuck turn and shows one house-rule penalty (sing / perform / drink / forfeit, default sing). Content is a house rule the app only displays, never enforces; choosing "drink" adds a minors/responsible-drinking notice.

Three modes: elimination (default) knocks out the stuck player until one remains — the chain champion; scoring gives each player fixed chances (3/5/8, default 5), +1 per successful connect, 0 for stuck, compared by total when chances run out, with co-champions on a tie; casual has no elimination or score — play on until you tap "End game" to view the set-list.

House rules & variants: homophone chaining (chain by a homophone of the tail — the app can't verify homophones); an optional theme banner (love songs / a decade, verbal only); a "reroll" of the starting character at the opening or by consensus to avoid a dead character; empty submissions or input with no Chinese tail character don't count and the timer keeps running, so nobody escapes a stuck turn by submitting nothing.

Records & privacy: the chain lives only in this session for display and sharing — cleared on refresh, never stored or uploaded; only the house rules and player names are saved in your own browser for next time. One shared device, taking turns; no secret info to hide, no online play, no accounts, no global leaderboard.
