Learn how to play Piano Tap and how to keep your rhythm as it speeds up, then play the game above.

Rules & how to play

The goal

Tap the black tiles as they scroll down and never touch a white one. The pace gets faster the longer you last.

Controls

  • Tap or click the black tile in the correct column as it reaches the line.
  • Missing a black tile or hitting a white one ends the run.
Tips for a high score

Watch ahead of the line

Look a little above where you tap so your fingers are already moving to the next tile.

Use both hands

On a touch screen, split the columns between your thumbs so you can keep up when the speed climbs.

Stay relaxed

Tense, jerky taps cause misses. A loose, steady tempo lasts far longer.
