Music quiz in Nice: a blind test in the cellar, three rounds and shooters to win
At Les Folies d'Edmonde, the blind test is a music-quiz night that is as friendly as it is competitive: a DJ plays track after track and, as a team, you name the song or the artist. Tourists and regulars mix, the level rises fast, and every round you win earns your team shooters. It runs every week, on Monday or Tuesday night, in the vaulted cellar of Old Nice.
How the blind test works
The night is played over three rounds. The first puts everyone on an equal footing; the next two raise the difficulty around themes announced on the spot.
Round 2 — first theme
The DJ announces a theme for the whole round. The tracks get trickier — this is where the real blind-test teams start to pull ahead.
Round 3 — second theme
A new theme and the home stretch. It is often the round that decides the final ranking and the last rounds of shooters.
Themes revealed as the night goes on
Rounds 2 and 3 are built around themes revealed on the spot. A few that have already come up at Les Folies:
Jazz
Rock
The 2000s
The 80s
Songs by bald artists
Artists starting with B
Three-word artist name
Two-word artist name
Title with the word 'love'
Shooters for every round you win
Ludo hosts the blind test and picks the tracks: a DJ who knows how to read the room, alternating crowd-pleasers everyone sings along to with the traps that separate the best teams.
The blind test is not only about pride: the team that wins a round gets shooters, to share or to line up. Three rounds means three chances to crank up the mood and walk away with the win.

Frequently asked questions about the blind test

Do I need to book and come as a team?
Booking is strongly recommended, especially for groups, as the nights are popular. You can come with your own team or put one together on the spot — the spirit stays friendly.
Do I need to be a music expert?
No. The level is high, but the first round is written and open to all: even without being a connoisseur you can score the maximum and stay in the running. Tourists and regulars play together.
What do you win at the blind test?
For every round you win, your team leaves with shooters. The main point is still the fun of playing and the atmosphere of the cellar, but the shooters add a little spice to the competition.
