About

Hooked! is a name-that-tune game using the best 2000 songs in the world, according to voters on NPO Radio 2's Top 2000 show. However, Hooked! is more than just a game: it is also a science experiment. What makes music catchy? Why can we remember some songs even if we haven't heard them for years, but others we forget by the end of the summer? There are dozens of theories about music and memory, and this game is helping us test them. The more you play, the more you contribute to science!
