Which Countries Got Rhythm?

Back in 2015 we created a game called "Got Rhythm?". You remember, the game where we asked people to tap out a simple beat using a keyboard, mouse, or by tapping the screen of their mobile device.

Well holy cow, over 2 million people from across the world have now played the game. But we couldn't stop there. We wanted to know where we could find the most rhythmic people. We collated all your scores to find out who in the world has got the most rhythm.

Men vs Women

Sorry girls, it turns out guys are better at keeping rhythm, or they just spend way more time practicing their drumming skills. The guys average score was over 50 points higher smashing through the 700 point mark.

Geography lessons

Which continent would be the King or Queen of rhythm? When it comes to rhythm we often think of Latin America with dances such as the Argentine Tango, the Salsa, Cha-cha-cha and Mambo.

In fact the country with the most rhythm was Slovenia, more famous for wine, bears and one of the world's largest ski jumps.

Bringing up the bottom of our rhythmic leaderboard, an astounding six South American countries, with Venezuela only just clearing the 500 mark. Maybe we shouldn't worry too much though, it's just a game.
