Ten Clues (Music Game)
Game Idea: Song Guessing Game
Hey folks, so I just thought of this game idea 5 seconds ago and I'm making it a thing because the wonders of the internet allow me to do so.
Basically, the host of the round (who will be the winner of the previous game like in most games on here) thinks of a song, then each day brings another clue to the public, starting off with a vague clue where the answer isn't obvious, and slowly narrowing down the possible answers with more specific clues. If nobody guesses it after ten clues then keep on giving clues however frequent you like and it's open for a 20 Questions style interrogation.
Rules:
- You are limited to ONE guess after each clue is announced, and if you guess more than once your first guess will be the only one accepted.
- As the host of the question, you are trusted not to make the song too obscure/difficult as in my understanding of how the game will unfold, even direct hits could be hard to get until we at least get the hang of it.
- One question per day, after ten questions the host can answer questions on the song and give more clues.
- If the host is unresponsive for 3 days then a new host will be chosen.
SCORING
I'll try to keep score but if it gets too hectic I might have to request some help or remove/restart the scoring system, but basically the score you get for a correct guess depends on how early in the game you get it.

I'll allow for you guys to ask questions and help make this game better because I'd really like it to be somewhat of a success.
