About the game

Hitster: Guilty Pleasures is a music party game where 2-10 players scan song cards with a free app and race to place them in chronological order on their personal timeline. The first player to correctly place 10 hits in order wins the title of Hitster. With guiltily fun hits from the past 100 years, easy rules, and zero setup beyond scanning a card, it's designed to get an instant party going. Optional Pro and Expert rules challenge music buffs to also name the exact year, artist, and song title.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team loves Hitster for how effortlessly it turns any gathering into a party - there's genuinely no setup, and the app-driven music keeps energy high from the first card. The guilty-pleasures music selection leans into nostalgia and fun rather than credibility, which suits a party crowd perfectly. Scalable difficulty via Pro and Expert rules gives it staying power for music trivia fans. It's less satisfying for players who don't enjoy the featured music genres.

What we like

  • Extremely easy to learn with essentially no setup required.
  • App-driven music streaming keeps the party energy high.
  • Scalable Pro and Expert rules add challenge for music experts.
  • Works great for large groups and casual social settings.

Keep in mind

  • Requires a smartphone and app to play.
  • Enjoyment depends heavily on players liking the included music genre.
  • Large player counts can mean longer waits between turns.
