Scan more than 300 summer hits, listen without seeing the date, and place each song correctly in your growing chronological timeline before the party ends.
Read the full game description
Hitster: Summer Party turns a century of warm-weather hits into an instant music timeline game. A player scans the QR code on the top card with the free HITSTER app, which starts the song without revealing its year. The active player listens, chooses where the card belongs among the songs already in their personal timeline, then flips it. Correctly placed songs stay; mistakes are discarded. Naming the title and artist can earn HITSTER tokens, which let players skip an unfamiliar track, challenge an opponent’s placement, or trade three tokens for a guaranteed card. Original, Pro, Expert, and cooperative modes adjust how much music knowledge is required, so one box works for both casual listeners and committed trivia fans. The first player to build a ten-card timeline wins. Summer Party is a standalone set with more than 300 songs and can be mixed with other compatible HITSTER editions. A phone with the HITSTER app and an internet connection are required; supported streaming options depend on the app and region.
