Make the Summer Game, FreeA summer game in 3 steps
From a sunny playlist to a game-ready deck. No fiddling in Canva.
Pick the summer hits
Feel-good songs your guests sing along to at the BBQ, from beach classics to last summer's hits. Import a Spotify, YouTube, Tidal, Deezer or Apple Music playlist, or search for songs manually.
Generate the cards
Each card automatically gets a QR code and the correct release year. Choose a bright card style for the garden.
Print and play
Download the PDF and print at home before the party, or order sturdy printed cards that can take a splash of barbecue sauce.
An outdoor game for the whole crowd
Feel-good hits from every decade
Mix beach classics with today's summer hits. The more years you blend, the more fun guessing the year gets for young and old.
Plays right there in the garden
Scan a card, the song plays, guess the year. Slots nicely between flipping the burgers and grabbing a second beer.
Mix with the original Hitster
Our cards share the format and QR style of the original Hitster game. Add a summer round to your existing set.
No app, no hassle
Everyone scans with their normal phone camera and the song plays instantly. Works around the picnic table without installing anything.
Building a summer deck
A good summer deck is full of songs that instantly bring the sun out. Start with feel-good summer classics like Summer of '69, Walking on Sunshine and Despacito, then add the hits of recent summers that played on every terrace. The wider you spread the decades, the better it plays for a mixed crowd of parents, kids and friends.
A fun idea: ask each guest for their ultimate summer song, so the deck becomes a mix of everyone's holiday memories. Keep it around 50 to 80 cards for an afternoon that flows nicely alongside the BBQ. Ready to build? Start your cards, or first read how to make your own Hitster cards.

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.
