Getting started with CutClub
Learn what CutClub is, how to join or start a club, and what to expect from your first season.
Welcome to Cut Club. This guide covers what the game is, how to get started, and what your first season looks like.
What is Cut Club?
Cut Club is a season-based music game where friends compete to prove who has the best taste.
Each round, everyone submits one song that fits a theme. Once submissions close, the club votes on their favorites, points are awarded, and the standings update. At the end of the season, one player is crowned the champion.
It's part friendly competition, part music discovery, and part group chat chaos.
How to access Cut Club
Cut Club runs in your browser at playcutclub.com. The web app is optimized for desktop and mobile, so there's nothing to install.
A native iOS and Android app is coming soon.
