“The Case of the Missing Hit” is a website created during the Interactive Design course at Beckmans College of Design. The brief was to create a website about music.

I chose to take inspiration from a podcast episode where Tyler Gillett shares his attempts to find a song that seems to have vanished without a trace. He describes waking up in the middle of the night remembering a new lyric, plays an a cappella version of the song that he recorded himself, and pleads with the podcast hosts to help him find the missing track.

For my website, I turned Tyler’s search for the song into a game. You get to read through his logbook and find codes that bring you closer to discovering the lost song. So far, only two people have completed the game.

You can find the website here. Can you find all the codes? Email me, so I can add you to the leaderboard!
