How to prepare for a Virtual Piano Challenge?

The song allocation in the Virtual Piano Challenge is randomised so the competition is fair to both users. This means, although you can't practice for a specific song in advance, you can do some warm-ups to improve your mind-to-finger coordination! Try these easy scales and then one or two songs from the Easy category to get you going. Remember, during the challenge, you can choose to select the 'Key Highlight' or 'Highlight Keyboard' function from the Key Assist menu before you begin playing.

Do I need to be a member to send a Virtual Piano Challenge?

No. Anyone can send and accept a Virtual Piano Challenge.

However, as a member, you can customise the piano settings and it runs on a faster engine without lags. The additional advantage a member has is that the results of challenges get stored to the user profile and members keep a record of all trophies and medals. When you play in a challenge as a guest, the result appears in the Challenge table briefly before it is deleted by new challenges.

My Virtual Piano Challenge result doesn't appear. What do I do?

Due to the high volume of challenges taking place, the live table is limited to 30 entries at a time. If some time has passed since your challenge was completed, the results may have been replaced by the more recent challenges. Or, if your result hasn't appeared at all, your opponent may not have played the challenge yet. Note that the challenge link expires after 24 hours.

I didn't receive the challenge email. What do I do now?

If you or your opponent didn't receive the challenge email, it may have been blocked by a filter. Check your junk folder and add [email protected] to your safe list or speak to your administrator. Then, try sending the challenge again.

Why can't I choose the song in the Virtual Piano Challenge?

While the difficulty level is chosen by the challenger, both contenders play the same song, selected at random by Virtual Piano. The song allocation in the Virtual Piano Challenge is randomised so the competition is fair to both users.
