About the game

Hitster: Summer Party refreshes the viral music-guessing hit with a playlist built entirely from summer anthems across the decades. Scan a card to hear a snippet of the song, then place it on your personal timeline in the correct chronological order before your rivals do. It plays as a standalone party game or combines seamlessly with any other Hitster edition for an even bigger playlist. It's a fast, nostalgic, and endlessly sociable music trivia game.

Hobbli's Notes

Hitster nails the party-game sweet spot of instant nostalgia and easy competition, and the summer-hits theme makes this edition a natural pick for outdoor gatherings and warm-weather get-togethers.

What we like

  • Supports up to ten players, making it great for big gatherings.
  • Combines with other Hitster editions for a larger, mixed playlist.
  • Simple scan-and-place mechanic is instantly accessible to anyone.
  • Summer-hits theme adds a fun, seasonal twist to the format.

Keep in mind

  • Requires a smartphone or device to scan and play song snippets.
