From a hip-hop playlist to a game-ready guessing game. No fiddling in Canva.

Print & play
Download the PDF and print at home for the party, or order professionally printed cards for a sturdy hip-hop deck.
Hip-hop as a party game
Great for hip-hop fans and parties
A deck full of classics gets the argument started: who knows the beats, who guesses the right year. Old school against the new wave, and everyone has an opinion.
Guess the year
Players guess the release year and place each card in the right spot on the timeline. A 90s boom-bap track feels nothing like modern trap.
Mix with the original Hitster
Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game: add your hip-hop deck to an existing set or play it as a standalone pack.
Your own picks
No fixed list. You decide whether it stays pure old school, pays tribute to the golden age, or mixes all the way up to the newest releases.
Building a hip-hop deck
A good hip-hop deck follows the genre's evolution. Start with the old school and electro of the early 80s, bring in the golden age and boom-bap of the 90s, add the southern crunk and club hits of the 2000s, then finish with trap and modern rap. Choosing broadly keeps "guess the year" tricky: the production often gives away the era, but the exact year is still a guess.
Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for a party that flows. Drop in a few deep cuts to make even the real heads hesitate. Ready to build? Start the cards, or first read how to make your own Hitster cards.

Really nice and easy!
Superfijn en makkelijk!
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!
Sehr einfach zu bedienende App. Besonders gut finde ich, dass man eine Korrektur für das Datum schicken kann und das dann (wenn es stimmt) auch direkt umgesetzt wird. Auch die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, den Ausdruck zu variieren ist top! Sehr empfehlenswert!
