Secret Shuffle – Music Game Review
Secret Shuffle is a Music/Music/Family game from Adriaan de Jongh, first launched in 8th December 2022.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 446+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Secret Shuffle Stand Out
A party game for 4 or more players who are all in the same room wearing headphones. Kind of like silent disco, but with games!
The Secret Shuffle app synchronizes the music to up to 60 (!!) players so you can play one of 10 games together:
- Split: half of the players dance to the same music – find each other.
- Fakers: guess what player doesn't hear any music but is faking it. (This is the most popular game in our app; a social deduction game known as ‘mafia dance’ among Kpop fans!)
- Pairs: find the one other player dancing to the same music.
- Statues: freeze when the music pauses.
… and many more!
The games are fun to play with friends, coworkers, family, colleagues, and even with strangers as an icebreaker. Each of the game’s rules are explained right before a round starts, so even if some in your party are young humans or very old humans, we're fairly certain they'll figure it out. Make sure to player Fakers as it's generally people's favorite game – and if you're daring, try out the slightly more challenging game Fakers++.
Music in Secret Shuffle comes in the form of 'music packs'. Streaming services unfortunately wouldn't allow us to stream music to our app, but we're certain there's something for everyone in the music packs we designed. The app contains more than 20 music packs including:
- genre packs with hip hop, disco, rock, and many more.
- era packs with music from the 60s, 80s, and 90s.
- world packs with music from Europe, US, UK, and Latin America
- various seasonal packs such as a Halloween and Christmas pack.
The free version of Secret Shuffle includes:
- 3 games: Split, Pairs, and Groups.
- 1 music pack: Mixtape: My First.
The full version of Secret Shuffle, which is unlocked when you or anyone in your party has purchased the ‘Unlock Everything For Everyone’ in-app purchase, includes:
- 10 games: Split, Fakers, Pairs, Leader, Groups, Statues, Possessed, Fakers++, Tree Huggers, and Speaker.
- 20+ music packs: 3 mixtape packs, 4 world tour packs, 3 era packs, 4 genre packs, 3 sound effect packs, and various seasonal and holiday packs.
- All future games and music pack updates.
- Advanced options to make rounds longer, play more rounds in a single game, and disable the explanation at the start of each game.
Secret Shuffle requires all players to download the app, wear headphones, and stay connected to the internet. You’ll also need between 4 and 60 players to play any of the games.
This Music game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It seems like a good app but do we only have to buy the full version on one phone.
Us and our 4 friends had so much fun. We ended up buying the 12$ version because of how addicting this game is! We played it in the dark with glow sticks and had a blast. Even the free one we played for hours! Totally recommend.
This game is AMAZING for parties, kids and adults alike! Highly reccomend.
Such a great app and has been a blast. Would love to be able to play playlists from Spotify. Hopefully you all could allow users to connect their accounts & play music seamlessly.
Fun and entertaining game to play with friends, if they added an spotify/apple music connection would be amazing.
