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
What is the best alternative to Hitster?
It depends what you want. If you want the same kind of game with your own music and without buying the full game, Hitify is the best alternative: free printable QR cards from your own playlist that also work alongside the original Hitster.
Does Hitify replace the original Hitster or add to it?
Both. Without Hitster, you play a complete game of your own with Hitify. If you already own it, our cards act as an expansion with the same format that slots into the same timeline.
Is Hitify really free?
Yes. Your first 100 cards are completely free as a PDF download, no account needed. Larger packs (up to 1000 cards) cost just a few euros. Still less than a new game.
Do I need an app like quiz apps require?
No. You scan the QR code with your normal phone camera and the song plays instantly in Spotify or Tidal. No download, no account.
Is Hitify affiliated with Hitster?
No. Hitify is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Hitster or JumboPlay. Our cards are designed to be compatible with the game format, but it's a separate product.
