Game pageWax Heads: finding the record for this customer
Reviews enjoy figuring out which record a customer wants from uncertain clues. Rather than rushing a sale, the appeal is taking time to read those clues and find a record that fits the person.
One player enjoys listening to the fictional records to get a feel for each artist’s musical direction. For them, a record on the shelf becomes an invitation to understand its creator.
What makes it fun
Read between the requests
Customers cannot always name the record they want. Matching their words with album notes, cover art, and magazines turns each recommendation into a satisfying little puzzle.
Get to know the customer
Listening closely enough to recommend a record also reveals what customers are going through and how they connect to the shop. Choosing music gives you a reason to care when they return.
Hear the fictional records
The shop jukebox lets you hear songs by fictional artists you first encountered through album art and notes. The music you imagined from those details becomes something you can hear.
