A game for dad in 3 steps
From dad's favourite songs to a game-ready deck. No fiddling in Canva.
Pick dad's songs
His favourites, the record that always went on while he worked in the garage, the hits from his teenage years. Import a Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist, or search for songs manually.
Generate the cards
Each card automatically gets a QR code and the correct release year. Choose a card style, or put a photo of dad on the back.
Print or give as a gift
Download the PDF and print at home for Father's Day, or order professionally printed cards as a gift.
More personal than socks or a gift card
The hits of dad's youth
Build a deck from the songs that played when dad was young. He recognizes every track and the stories come out on their own.
A gift that stays
Not another present that ends up at the back of a drawer, but a game built around the music of his life. Something to play together on the day.
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.
No app, no hassle
Scan with a normal phone camera and the song plays instantly. Works fine when grandpa joins in and wants to install nothing.
Building a Father's Day deck
The best Father's Day deck is a trip back through dad's music. Start with the hits of his teenage years: the records he wore out and the bands he went to see live. Ask his brother or an old friend on the quiet if you need a hand. Then add his real favourites today and a few family classics you both know.
An example playlist: the song from his first concert, the record that always played in the car, the hit that was big the year you were born. That way every card turns into a little story. Keep it around 50 cards for an easy round at the barbecue. Ready to build? Start your cards, or first read how to make your own Hitster cards.
5 styles. Including a photo of dad
From classic to a photo card with a cherished picture of dad on it.
Start free
Your first 100 cards are free. A bigger deck or a printed gift set? Upgrade for just a few euros.
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.
-
Guests send a song
Ask everyone for one song and their name, in a shared playlist, a group chat or a simple form.
-
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.
-
Everyone plays and guesses
Guess the year as usual, then guess whose song it is. The deck is made by all your guests.
-
Bruce Springsteen
1975
Max (Born to Run)
-
Lynyrd Skynyrd
1974
Finn (Sweet Home Alabama)
-
AC/DC
1980
Lotte (Back in Black)
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.

This was an awesome idea. We love having game nights with our friends. We 10/10 recommend especially if you love music games as much as we do.
It works! Nice game for music lovers.
This site is awesome. So much fun to create your own cards and play them with friends. If I could give 6 stars I would.
I really useful for upgrade this game the official song card is a bit less
Amazing project. With just a few clicks your own Spotify playlist is turned into a Hitster game. Keep it up. The pricing is also really very fair
Easy to use, and the result is exactly what I expected!
Easy to use. Happy with my own cards.
Super simple process, works like a charm!
Great for creating your own cards and QR codes. Plus you play with the same app
Beautiful idea and a beautiful app, fast and easy to use
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
Best app for creating cards for a music game!
It was really great. I made a birthday playlist for a friend, and with Hitify she could play her own personal Hitster. 🥰
Works great and nicely priced.
Really nice and easy!
So incredibly easy to do, and so much fun for adding a personal touch to a party, a special event or any other occasion. Really recommended. You can let your creativity run wild, or just go for convenience and let it do the work for you.
Nice to be able to turn your own playlist into a Hitster-like game. The only downside is that you hear the songs without the intro.
Being able to create new card packs for Hitster is a real treat. A great app.
Quick and smooth. Easy to create your own playing cards. There are no limits. I recommend it
Very easy-to-use app. I especially like that you can submit a correction for the year, and if it's right it gets applied straight away. The different ways to vary the printout are great too. Highly recommended!
Great service. It was super fast, it works without any problems and looks really great.
Frequently asked questions
How many songs should I pick for a Father's Day game?
Around 50 cards works well for an easy round. Plenty of variety without dragging on. Want a bigger gift? You can make up to 1000 cards.
Can I put a photo of dad on the cards?
Yes. Choose a photo card style and upload a picture. It appears on the back of every card. A personal touch a regular card game can't offer.
Does this make a good Father's Day gift?
It makes a great one. A deck built around the music of dad's life is far more personal than socks or a gift card. Order printed cards and give it ready to play.
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 pack.
