Tips & inspiration

Building a New Year's Eve deck

The best New Year's Eve deck mixes the year's biggest hits with classics everyone knows. Start with the songs that dominated the charts this year. That turns the game into an instant musical look back at the year. Then add a handful of timeless party bangers (think ABBA, Queen, or a solid disco classic) so grandparents and neighbours keep guessing too.

A fun idea: prep a mini-deck of just the number-one hit from each of the last ten years, and play a quick round right before midnight. Keep it around 50 to 80 cards so the game flows nicely up to the countdown. 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.

  • ABBA

    1980

    Tim (Happy New Year)

  • Queen

    1979

    Fleur (Don't Stop Me Now)

  • Katy Perry

    2010

    Omar (Firework)

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.
