The Spot the Intro Music Recognition Game from Outset Media tests how fast players can name a song from just the first few seconds of its intro, drawing from a pool of recognizable tracks across multiple decades of pop, rock, and dance music. Outset Media has been publishing music-recognition games since the late 1990s, and Spot the Intro is one of the longest-running titles in the line. The format works as both a competitive game and a casual party prompt, since arguing about whether a snippet really counts as recognizable becomes part of the entertainment, from Outset Media.

Music fans who already enjoy guess-the-song games during road trips and parties will find Spot the Intro delivers a more structured version of the same activity, and party hosts looking for a music-themed game that goes beyond karaoke will get a format that works in any sound-equipped room. The game also tends to spark conversation about favorite songs and artists, which extends play beyond the scoring round. The deep song catalog also covers enough decades that older and younger players can both find tracks they recognize, which solves the problem of music games that lean too far into a single era. The format also adapts well to drinking-game add-ons for adult-only gatherings.
