The Rhyme Game not working

Start with the symptom: a ball that misses the beat, missing sound, a beat that never loads, or an Unlimited purchase that still looks locked. The official FAQ does not publish a code list, so this page is a map of the settings that do exist.

Browser versus the app

The FAQ says the browser build is for desktop. If a phone browser shows a blank board, try the official phone app as the supported path; that symptom alone does not establish its cause. Use the app on the phone. On a desktop, reload play.therhymegame.com. If a different host is on screen, check which Vercel name you opened.

I cannot see your cache, your school filter, or your store receipt. If the host itself will not load, read the network page. If the price looks wrong, read the two yearly prices that were both on the App Store list.

Questions people ask

The ball is ahead of the beat. What now?

Open Settings → Correct Audio Lag / Ball Sync. The official FAQ says audio delay varies by device and headphones, especially Bluetooth. The beat card’s half-speed and intro settings change beat playback; they are separate from lag calibration.

Do I fix the microphone to play?

Play does not need a microphone. The FAQ says the mic and camera are for REC, and the mix stays on the device. A denied mic permission blocks recording, not the grid.
