Optional play around a substantial archive

The after-show arcade should be fun and readable.

TayTV now has fourteen original browser experiences, ranging from quick recognition games to deeper systems-thinking exercises. The games remain a supplementary layer around source-backed articles, guides, and era essays rather than replacing the publication itself.

Prompts rely on TayTV’s own descriptions, abstract symbols, fictional scenarios, and public factual context rather than reproducing unlicensed lyrics, official album artwork, leaked material, proprietary production files, or scraped trivia pages. Individual game screens remain outside Google ad inventory because their primary purpose is interaction.

Quick arcade

Guess, match, remember, build a setlist, style an original character, or follow an era clue.

Advanced Pro Lab

Build a safe fictional concert cue in Cue Architect or reason through recording and work identifiers in Identifier Lab.

Read after playing

Every advanced game points to a substantial source-backed guide that explains the real system behind the exercise.

New · Pro Lab

Games that teach a real system.

Cue Architect asks you to sequence safety, automation, audio, video, lighting, and effects so the dependencies make sense before the spectacle begins. Identifier Lab turns ISRC, ISWC, recordings, works, and releases into short metadata cases. Both are fictional learning tools and both are ads-off.

Turn the game into a deeper rabbit hole.

Read how audio, lighting, video, automation, quick changes, and cueing fit together in Anatomy of an Eras Night. Follow the Music Metadata Map, practice verification with Source Detective, or test actual WCAG ratios in the Palette Contrast Lab.
