The Setlist Vault

How to play The Setlist Vault

Begin by learning album openers and closers. Easy concentrates on these positions; other tiers can ask about the rest of the track list. Current questions cover Powerslave, Piece of Mind, The Number of the Beast and Somewhere in Time. Each answer is followed by feedback and a link to the album’s official track list.

Keyboard and touch controls

In arcade games, use P to pause, H for the control guide, R to restart and Esc to return to the arcade. The bracket keys switch games. These shortcuts are disabled while you are typing in a form.

Choose your difficulty before starting

Every game offers Easy, Normal, Hard and Nightmare. A run keeps the difficulty chosen at the start, and personal bests are stored separately for each tier in your browser. To change an active run’s difficulty, return to setup and begin again.

A useful starting strategy

Listen to an album in sequence and notice which song follows which. That memory is more useful here than knowing only the album’s best-known single.

Do I need an account?

You can play this arcade game as a guest. A Maiden Arcade account unlocks daily rewards and the daily trivia challenge, badges, My Maiden collections and forum posting. Device-local arcade bests remain separate from account fan points.

This is an unofficial fan-made game. The title and artwork reference Iron Maiden; the band does not operate or endorse Maiden Arcade. See image credits and sources.
