'Wine music' is a music/puzzle game played on PC or mobile in which the player must match a melody of a song in their music library or otherwise using only filled wine glasses.

Similar to Serenaders, the player can first select their music library or an online playlist so that the game can access a random song that they player will know, otherwise the game will choose a song randomly.

Secondly, the game will show the player a number of wine glasses equal to the number of notes in a melody selected from the song. The player's goal is to fill the wine glasses so that, in order, each glass when tapped with a small metal rod produces the notes of the melody.

To fill the glasses the player can click or tap above each one and hold. To test the note of a glass the player can simply click or tap on it. The player may press a button on the screen to play each wine glass in order, if it matches the melody then the player has won the level.

'Serenaders' is a music/puzzle game in which the player must identify a song from their music library. Once the game loads, the player is prompted to select a folder containing their music library or some form of online playlist. The game will select a random song, and it will play a snippet of around 20-30s to the player, with no lyrics. The catch is that the song is being played by a terrible acoustic band with members from various countries foreign to the player.

During or after the snippet of the song, the player is given the ability to search their music library to attempt to find the matching song. Once clicking on one, if correct the player gains a point, if incorrect they are shown the correct match, and do not gain a point. This then simply loops until the player decides to quit.

Leaderboards for various online playlists are available, to encourage competition. This game both promotes musical ability, and knowledge of the names of songs in one's own library.
