About WildChords
What is WildChords
Playing the guitar is a great hobby! Unfortunately, up to 85% of people that learn to play a music instrument quit, before they reach a reasonable level. Why? Because in the beginning, the exercises are rather boring. This is why Ovelin developed WildChords, an iPad game that gets people hooked on practicing guitar. It is played with a real acoustic or electric guitar, and you don’t need any additional equipment to play it.
What happened in Ovelin city
There has been a major breakout at the Ovelin city zoo, and the animals are going wild in the streets causing all kinds of chaos. The monkeys for example intrude the library, and “reorganize” the books there. This is where the main character is being struck by a book whirled through the air. When he regains consciousness, he spots a book about the Piped Piper of Hamelin.
In this ancient German legend, the city of Hamelin was saved from a rat infestation by one brave musician. The musician hypnotized the rats with pipe music, and lured them out of the city.
Inspired by the heroic tale, the user grabs a guitar and starts playing chords. As it turns out, each animal likes a specific chord. Crocodiles like the C chord, Apes like the A chord, and so on. Equipped with this “magic weapon”, the user walks the streets, rounding up animals. And as he gets more skilled on playing the guitar, he is able to lead the animals out of the city.

How does WildChords work
WildChords utilizes high-tech audio technologies that can recognize through the microphone what you play. Therefore, users can play the game on the iPad with any normal guitar (acoustic or electric without distortion). You need no additional equipment or cables! Take your old guitar from the cellar, or buy one from the flea market. Your iPad and WildChords will turn your guitar into a game controller. The game levels are short one minute exercises that get successively more difficult as the players skills improve. So also busy people can learn to play the guitar, but be warned, it gets you hooked easily!
Who is WildChords suitable for
WildChords is suitable for beginners of all ages, whether they learn by themselves, with a teacher, a self-learning DVD, through YouTube or by any other means. You don’t need any previous knowledge, just grab your guitar, watch the intro video (coming soon) and start playing. Even for people that don’t want to learn to play the guitar, WildChords is fun!
