Frequently Asked Questions
How does this game work?
Strum Surfer uses your computer's microphone to listen to your guitar. During the quick calibration step, you strum your chords 3 times so the game learns the unique frequencies of your guitar. Once calibrated, you control arcade mini-games by playing those chords IRL!
Who is this game for?
Strum Surfer is perfect for anyone looking for motivation to play and practice their guitar more often! It is great for players wanting to smooth out their chord changes, and for music teachers who want to use it with their students to make learning and practicing chords fun and engaging.
What equipment do I need?
All you need is a real guitar (acoustic or electric) and a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer with a working microphone. There's no extra cables or hardware needed! We process all audio directly in the web browser.
Can I play with other instruments?
Strum Surfer is designed primarily for guitar chords (like G, C, D, Em), but as long as your instrument can produce distinct chord shapes or polyphonic tones that you can strum or sustain consistently during calibration, the custom pitch analyzer can learn them!
Which web browsers are supported?
Strum Surfer is fully supported on all modern web browsers with microphone access, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. Just be sure to click "Allow" when the browser requests microphone access so the game can hear and calibrate your guitar chords!
Does it work on mobile phones or tablets?
Yes! Strum Surfer is fully optimized for mobile devices. As long as your phone or tablet has a working microphone and you open the game in a modern browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox), you can calibrate and play on the go!
I need help or have a question!
If you run into issues, try re-calibrating in a quieter environment or adjusting your microphone input levels. For further support, feel free to reach out via email.
Are there any subscription or hidden fees?
Nope! Strum Surfer is a $10 one-time payment. There are no recurring subscription costs, no ads, and no hidden fees. Once purchased, you get full lifetime access to the game, and all future mini-games and updates are provided completely free of charge!
