Make the Pop Game, FreeYour pop game in 3 steps
From a pop playlist to a game-ready guessing game. No fiddling in Canva.
Pick the pop hits
Import a Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist full of chart hits from the 60s to now, or search for songs manually. Your selection makes the game.
Generate the cards
Each card automatically gets a QR code and a verified release year. Choose a card style that suits the party mood.
Print & play
Download the PDF and print at home for the party, or order professionally printed cards for a sturdy pop deck.
Pop as a party game
For any party, any age
Everyone knows a few pop hits. A deck of singalongs works just as well at a birthday as it does at drinks: nobody gets left out.
Guess the year
Players guess the release year and place each card in the right spot on the timeline. A disco-era hit feels nothing like a streaming smash from now.
Mix with the original Hitster
Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game: add your pop deck to an existing set or play it as a standalone pack.
Your own picks
No fixed list. You decide whether it leans on guilty pleasures, pure number ones, or a mix across the years.
Building a pop deck
A good pop deck grabs the big singalongs from every era. Start in the 60s and 70s with Motown and disco, bring in the synth-pop and dance-pop of the 80s and 90s, add the R&B and boy bands around 2000, then finish with the streaming era. Spreading it wide keeps "guess the year" fun: almost everyone knows the songs, but the exact year is a guess.
Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for a party that flows. Sprinkle in a few one-hit wonders to make people 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.
