What stumps jam band fans

Every day, Jamband Games gives fans one line from a song and three guesses to name it. These are the real results as of October 28, 2026: 7,354 games played, 53 puzzles counted.

Which fans name the most songs from one lyric?

Grateful Dead fans name the song 93% of the time, the highest of any band so far. Average share of players who named the song, across each band's puzzles:

1. Grateful Dead: 93% named it, 61% from the first line (15 puzzles)
2. Phish: 92% named it, 63% from the first line (7 puzzles)
3. Goose: 78% named it, 43% from the first line (16 puzzles)
4. Widespread Panic: 65% named it, 35% from the first line (15 puzzles)

Every puzzle is a different song, so this is a fun comparison, not a lab test.

How it's measured

• Each player's first finished game on a puzzle counts once; replays don't.
• A puzzle counts after it leaves the 7-day catch-up window (so nothing here spoils a game you can still play) and once at least 5 games have finished.
• "Named it" means within three guesses; "from the first line" means on the first guess.
• Numbers update every day. Please cite "Jamband Games (jambandgames.com)" with the date.
