Make the Retirement Gift, FreeA retirement gift in 3 steps
From career years to a game-ready deck. No fiddling in Canva.
Pick the songs of a career
The hits from the year they started, milestones along the way, and their favourite songs. Import a Spotify, YouTube or Tidal playlist, or search for songs manually.
Generate the cards
Each card automatically gets a QR code and the correct release year. Choose a style, or put a photo of the team on the back.
Print or give as a gift
Download the PDF and print at home, or order professionally printed cards as a leaving gift the whole team gives together.
More personal than an envelope
A timeline of a whole career
Start at the year they began and walk through the decades. Guessing the year turns into a trip down memory lane for the whole team.
A gift from colleagues with meaning
Have everyone at the office suggest a song they tie to the retiree. The deck becomes a shared leaving gift.
Mix with the original Hitster
Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game. Play it at the party or let the retiree keep it at home.
No app, no hassle
Everyone scans with their normal phone camera and the song plays instantly. Works for young and old at the drinks or the dinner.
Building a retirement deck
A good retirement deck follows a career from start to finish. Begin with the hits from the year they started and grab a few songs from each following decade that played everywhere back then. Add their personal favourites on top: the music that came out of the office speakers, or that goes with big moments in their career.
A fun idea: ask each colleague for one song they connect to the retiree, with a short story attached. Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for a game that flows well at the send-off. Order printed cards and give it ready to play. Ready to build? Start your 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 retirement party?
For a game at the party, 50 to 80 cards works best. Enough to span a whole career. Want a bigger set or gift? You can make up to 1000 cards.
How do I make it personal for the retiree?
Start at the year they began and walk through the decades, and ask colleagues to suggest favourite songs. Put a team photo on the back with a photo card style for an extra personal touch.
Does this make a good leaving gift from colleagues?
A great one. A deck built around someone's career and music taste is far more personal than an envelope. Everyone can suggest a song and you order it printed as a shared gift.
Does it work with the original Hitster?
Yes. Our cards share the same format and QR codes that play directly, so the retiree can mix them with an existing Hitster set or play them as a standalone pack.
