Make the Game, FreeGuess the year in 3 steps
The game comes down to one question: when did this song come out? Hitify makes the cards, you build the timeline.
Pick your songs
Import your Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist, or search by hand. Mix eras for a tougher timeline.
Generate the cards
Each card shows a QR code on the front and the release year on the back, so players only see the answer after they guess.
Print and build the timeline
Download the PDF and print at home, or order printed cards. Scan a song, guess the year and place the card in the right spot.
A fair timeline game
Verified years
We check every release year via MusicBrainz and ISRC. The timeline holds up and you never guess wrong because of a bad year.
No app needed
Scan the QR code with your normal phone camera. Spotify or YouTube opens and the song plays right away.
Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer and Apple Music

Same timeline mechanic as the original Hitster board game. Mix the cards in or play as a standalone pack.
How guess the year works
Guess the year is a timeline game. You scan a card, listen to the song and place it in the right spot among the cards already on the table: did this come out before or after 1985? The player who reads the years best builds the longest timeline.
It lives or dies on accurate years. Hand-made lists pick up mistakes and then the whole timeline falls apart. Hitify verifies every release year via MusicBrainz and ISRC, so you always play fair. You build the game from your own playlist, not a fixed set.

This was an awesome idea. We love having game nights with our friends. We 10/10 recommend especially if you love music games as much as we do.
It works! Nice game for music lovers.
This site is awesome. So much fun to create your own cards and play them with friends. If I could give 6 stars I would.
I really useful for upgrade this game the official song card is a bit less
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
Easy to use, and the result is exactly what I expected!
Easy to use. Happy with my own cards.
Super simple process, works like a charm!
Great for creating your own cards and QR codes. Plus you play with the same app
Beautiful idea and a beautiful app, fast and easy to use
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
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.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play guess the year?
You scan a card, listen to the song and place it in the right spot on the table timeline: before or after the cards already there. If your read on the year is right, the card stays. First player to build a row of, say, ten cards wins.
How do I know the years are right?
We verify every release year via MusicBrainz and ISRC instead of a hand-typed list. That keeps the timeline fair so you can't guess wrong because of a bad year.
Do I need an app?
No. You scan the QR code with your phone's normal camera and the song plays instantly in Spotify or Tidal.
Can I use my own music?
Yes. Import your Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist or search for individual songs. Mix eras to make the timeline harder.
Is it free?
Your first 100 cards are free as a PDF download, no account needed. Bigger sets (up to 1000 cards) cost just a few euros.
