About the game

Hitster turns any gathering into an instant music party. Players scan song cards with the free app, listen to a hit, and guess where it falls chronologically on their personal music timeline. Get it right and the card joins your timeline; the first to collect ten hits wins. With over 300 songs spanning a century of music, plus optional Pro and Expert rule variants, Hitster scales from a laid-back solo trip down memory lane to a competitive music trivia showdown.

What we like

  • Extremely easy to teach and start playing within minutes.
  • App-driven music streaming keeps setup effortless and immediate.

Keep in mind
