Hitster: The Music Fun Party Quiz Card Game (2-10 Players)

The Party Game That Turns Your Playlist Into a Battle

There's a moment in every great party game where the room erupts — someone confidently slots a song into the wrong decade, everyone groans, and suddenly half the table is singing to prove a point. Hitster lives in that moment. Built around real music streamed straight to your phone, it challenges players to arrange hit songs in chronological order, and the results are equal parts humbling and hilarious.

From Jumbo, Hitster is a music trivia party game that spans a full century of chart-topping hits. Each card in the deck carries a QR code that unlocks the actual song — no guessing from a title, you hear it. The challenge is placing it correctly on your personal timeline relative to the tracks you've already collected. Was that track before or after the one you just heard? Closer to the '80s or the early 2000s? Your confidence will be tested, your music knowledge exposed, and your memory of what year things actually came out will surprise you.

This one is built for groups — the sweet spot sits around five to eight players, though it works well anywhere from two to the full ten-player limit. It's genuinely accessible: no reading of dense rules, no complex scoring systems to manage, and rounds move fast enough to keep energy high all night. Newcomers to hobby gaming will feel at home immediately, and it scales just as well for a casual weeknight as it does for a big birthday gathering. Game length flexes naturally with the group, typically landing in the 30–60 minute range.

The deck contains over 300 iconic songs, giving the game serious replay value — you won't exhaust it quickly. The QR-based audio mechanic is what truly sets it apart from traditional music trivia: you're not reading a title and guessing, you're actually listening and feeling your way through the decades. Component quality is clean and minimal by design, keeping the focus exactly where it belongs — on the music and the people around the table.
