inReverse - Backwards Karaoke

Backwards karaoke for two players

inReverse - Backwards Karaoke turns a familiar song into a listening and imitation game. One person records a short vocal part, and the app plays it backwards for the other person to hear. The second player then tries to copy that reversed sound, usually in smaller sections, before the app reverses the result again.

The fun is in the reveal

The final playback is the payoff: a strange, reconstructed version of the original singing that can sound surprisingly close or completely chaotic. It is less about singing well and more about remembering an unfamiliar sound, copying it, and seeing what comes back when the recording is played in the opposite direction.

This makes it a good fit for friends, family groups, and casual party games. It works best when players can take turns clearly and listen closely, rather than when someone is looking for a conventional karaoke backing track or a private singing practice tool.

A simple music game, not a full editor

• Record vocal sections directly in the app.
• Listen to the recorded material in reverse.
• Let another player imitate the reversed sound step by step.
• Play the imitation back in reverse for the result.

Because the game depends on recorded voices, a quieter setting should make the exchanges easier to hear. The experience is built around the recording-and-reveal loop, so its appeal comes from playing with other people rather than browsing a large music library or fine-tuning tracks.

What the numbers suggest
