Nostalgia as a party game
Perfect for a grunge or eurodance party
A deck full of nineties hits brings back the dance floor, the guitars and the boy-band choruses. Ideal for a retro night with friends who grew up in the nineties.
Guess the year
Players guess the release year and place each card in the right spot on the timeline: just like the original, but fully in nineties spirit.
Mix with the original Hitster
Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game: add your 90s deck to an existing set or play it as a standalone pack.
Your own picks
No fixed list: you decide which nineties classics make the cut. From floor-fillers to forgotten gems.
Building a nineties deck
A great 90s deck mixes the big floor-fillers with a few surprises. Build around the pillars of the decade: grunge and alternative rock for the guitars, eurodance and house for the dance floor, and boy bands and r&b for the radio hits. Spread the years nicely from 1990 to 1999 so the timeline stays challenging. Early-nineties records sound very different from the pop around '98.
Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for a party game that flows. Throw in a few obscure hits to make even the experts hesitate. Ready to build? Start the cards, or first read how to make your own Hitster cards.

Amazing project. With just a few clicks your own Spotify playlist is turned into a Hitster game. Keep it up. The pricing is also really very fair

Best app for creating cards for a music game!
It was really great. I made a birthday playlist for a friend, and with Hitify she could play her own personal Hitster. 🥰
Works great and nicely priced.
Really nice and easy!
So incredibly easy to do, and so much fun for adding a personal touch to a party, a special event or any other occasion. Really recommended. You can let your creativity run wild, or just go for convenience and let it do the work for you.
Nice to be able to turn your own playlist into a Hitster-like game. The only downside is that you hear the songs without the intro.
Being able to create new card packs for Hitster is a real treat. A great app.
Quick and smooth. Easy to create your own playing cards. There are no limits. I recommend it
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!
Great service. It was super fast, it works without any problems and looks really great.
