The Classical Composer
HANGMAN GAME!

This is just a screenshot (you can't click on it). Scroll down for the real game and info.




Download the game and you're on your way to playing Classical Hangman...the familiar game of Hangman but with a classical twist!

This is really fun but rather addictive. You should PRACTICE FIRST, then play this game!

The Classical Hangman Game is a fun way to expand your knowledge of classical music. The word that you're trying to guess is the name of a composer. When the word is guessed (by clicking on letters of the alphabet), information about the composer is displayed (for instance, where the composer is from, what works of the composer are the most popular, etc.) It's simple, educational, and fun for all ages.

The game is configurable -- you determine how many guesses are allowed and whether you're guessing the names of composers or operas.

To play, click on the download below (Windows only). Be sure you have your speakers turned on when you play.

Have fun!
