Ariel Shapiro: Spotify acquires music trivia game Heardle

Spotify announced Tuesday that it has purchased Heardle, one of the many themed trivia games that cropped up in the wake of Wordle’s blockbuster success. Heardle is Spotify’s first game acquisition, and the company hopes it will play a dual role: in addition to keeping music nerds engaged, it can act as a music discovery tool.

I mentioned Heardle as one of the games I play everyday a few weeks back, and I'm super happy for the creator right now. It's a great game and they deserve whatever payday they're getting here.
