  • Works with Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer and Apple Music playlists.
  • Free for packs of up to 100 songs, including the PDF download.
  • Printed cards can be ordered and ship throughout Europe.
  • No streaming account is needed to play: the scanner works in any phone browser.
How it works

A game for the whole family in 3 steps

From favourite kids' songs to a game-ready deck. No fiddling in Canva.

01

Pick songs everyone knows

Movie hits, sing-alongs and the songs the kids keep asking for. Import a Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist, or search for songs manually.

02

Generate the cards

Each card automatically gets a QR code and the correct release year. Choose a cheerful card style: or put a photo of the birthday child on the back.

03

Print & play

Download the PDF and print at home on sturdy paper that survives little hands. Or order professionally printed cards for the party.

Why it works for kids

A game the whole family knows

Songs everyone sings along to

Build a deck of movie, cartoon and sing-along hits that the youngest and the grandparents both love: nobody gets stumped.

Simple enough for kids

Scan with the phone camera and the song plays. No app, no account, no complicated rules: just guess which year it came out.

Safe and simple

You build the playlist, so you decide exactly which songs go in. No surprises during the party.

Mix with the original Hitster

Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game: add them to an existing set or play as a standalone pack.

Tips & inspiration

Building a family deck

A great family deck is full of songs everyone knows. Start with movie hits and cartoon classics, add a few current radio hits the kids keep asking for, and throw in some older sing-alongs that the parents and grandparents recognise. That way every generation around the table can join in the guessing, from the youngest to the oldest.

A fun idea for a kids' party: build a deck of around 30 to 50 cards on a theme. Movie soundtracks or holiday hits, say. And let the children guess in teams which year each song came out. Keep it short and cheerful. Ready to build? Start your cards, or first read how to make your own Hitster cards.

Guest game

Let every guest add a song with their name on it

Ask each guest for one song. Their name takes the title line of the card and the real track goes in brackets, so besides the year you also guess who picked it.

  1. Guests send a song

    Ask everyone for one song and their name, in a shared playlist, a group chat or a simple form.

  2. You add the names

    Build the pack from the songs, then fill in each name as the card label. For a big group, download the CSV, fill it in and upload it back.

  3. Everyone plays and guesses

    Guess the year as usual, then guess whose song it is. The deck is made by all your guests.

  • Idina Menzel

    2013

    Luna (Let It Go)

  • Taylor Swift

    2014

    Milan (Shake It Off)

  • Justin Timberlake

    2016

    Tess (Can't Stop the Feeling!)

Example cards: the guest name replaces the title line, the song stays in brackets.

Labels are set by whoever makes the pack, so guests send their pick to you and you add the names. Labels are free.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many songs should I pick for a kids' party?

For younger children, 30 to 50 cards works best. Short and cheerful, without dragging on. For a family game night you can expand it to 80 cards or more.

Can I control which songs are included?

Yes. You build the playlist, so you decide exactly which songs go into the game. Ideal for keeping it kid-friendly and appropriate.

Can I put a photo of the birthday child on the cards?

Yes. Choose a photo card style and upload a picture. It appears on the back of every card. A fun personal touch for the party.

Does it work with the original Hitster?

Yes. Our cards share the same format and QR codes that play directly, so you can mix them with an existing Hitster set or play them as a standalone family pack.
