GOOD QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Before you call the next song…
What is DHUN KA DAUR?+
It is a same-room music timeline party game with two setups. Play with printed cards and one host phone, or choose Mobile and build every timeline on screen from the built-in deck.
What is the difference between Physical Cards and Mobile?+
Physical Cards uses the printed deck as the timeline and keeps Rules v0.1 unchanged. Mobile needs no printed deck: the host phone draws the songs, shows the timelines and judges the selected gaps.
Do I need to know exact release years?+
No. Normal placement only asks whether the song is older, newer or belongs between existing cards. Exact year is an optional high-risk bonus bet.
Are all songs from films?+
No. The built-in Mobile deck already has more than 1,200 songs and is currently focused primarily on Hindi music, including film, non-film and surprise tracks. That number describes Mobile play—not a printed box of 1,200 cards.
What does the app do?+
The host phone plays the music, guides the phases and records every app-scored move. In Physical Cards it also scans and reveals printed cards; in Mobile it draws from the built-in deck, displays timelines and judges placements.
Can we keep score without entering player names?+
Yes. Nobody needs an account to play. Physical-card groups may also use Paper Scoring while the app guides scans, playback, timers, surprise rounds and reveals.
Do I need an account?+
No. You can stay a guest. Signing in with Google, email or phone is optional and lets your name and finished games follow you to another phone.
Can other phones join the game?+
Yes, but only as optional same-room viewer screens. Guests can scan a QR or type a short code to watch the scoreboard and the current player’s timeline. They cannot place cards, score turns or run the game.
Is this online or remote multiplayer?+
No. DHUN KA DAUR is one game in one room. The host phone runs it; extra phones only make the shared score and current timeline easier to see.
What is Sabka Daur?+
It is an app-triggered surprise round where everybody receives one shuffled question about the same song. Answers are locked one by one and revealed together.
How many people can play?+
The physical Rules v0.1 support 2–8 players using one compatible phone, one printed song deck and three Challenge Tokens per player.
Is a mobile app required?+
Yes. One compatible host phone runs both setups. It scans printed cards in Physical play, or supplies the complete deck and onscreen timeline in Mobile play.
Which music services will be supported?+
Platform support is still being evaluated. We are exploring practical, licensed ways to make listening simple, but no integration with Spotify, YouTube or another service is promised yet.
When will the game launch?+
A current Android test build can now be downloaded directly as an APK from the Download App page. It is not a Google Play listing yet. The iPhone version is planned afterwards.
Which languages and editions are planned?+
The current Mobile library is primarily Hindi. Punjabi, Telugu and Malayalam are planned next, with more languages intended to follow step by step. Timing and final track availability will depend on testing and content readiness.
