More personal than the store-bought version
Hits since their birth year
Build a deck from the songs released from their birth year onward: a musical journey through their life, with everyone guessing the years.
A heartfelt gift
Not another generic present, but a deck built around their taste and life story. Perfect for a milestone birthday or a surprise.
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
Everyone scans with their normal phone camera and the song plays instantly. Ideal for a party with guests of all ages.
Building a birthday deck
The best birthday deck is a journey through someone's life. Start at their birth year and work up decade by decade: the number-one hits from the year they were born, the music of their teenage years and the tracks they play on repeat now. Add a few personal favourites too. The song from their first concert, or the one that always goes on in the car.
For a milestone birthday (30, 40, 50), one hit per year since they were born makes a beautiful timeline. Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for a party game that flows nicely. 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!
Works great and nicely priced.

Frequently asked questions
How many songs should I pick for a birthday?
For a party game, 50 to 80 cards works best. For a milestone birthday you can use one hit per year of their life as a personal timeline. Up to 1000 cards possible.
Can I put a photo of the birthday person on the cards?
Yes. Choose a photo card style and upload a photo. It appears on the back of every card. A personal touch a regular card game simply can't offer.
Does this make a good birthday gift?
A great one. A deck built around their taste and life story. Their hits since their birth year. Is far more personal than the store-bought version. 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 birthday pack.
