## Description

HITSTER is a social music party game reimagined as a Chrome extension. Open the HITSTER app, scan a card, and the hit starts playing on Spotify, launching an instant group party and a shared music timeline.

With 300+ hits spanning the last 100 years, players arrange songs by release year, guess artists and titles, and can play with Pro or Expert rules, or enjoy solo or team play for a fun, memory-filled experience.

## Review summary

Hitster is a widely loved, family-friendly music memory party game with solid cross-platform music integration and strong group appeal. However, it suffers from Spotify dependency, a limited card library, scanning/update glitches that cause camera/black-screen issues, and occasional login problems. Improving update stability, expanding the card library, and reducing reliance on a single music service would enhance the overall experience.

### Pros

- Fun and entertaining gameplay that works well as a party game.
- Family-friendly and suitable for all ages, with strong group appeal.
- Music service integration, supporting Spotify and Apple Music for playback.
- Encourages social bonding and memory sharing with others, often described as nostalgic.

### Cons

- Spotify dependency for full functionality (at least one player must have Spotify; premium may be needed for full anonymity).
- Limited card/music library; cards run through quickly and players want more/new songs.
- QR/scan issues and update-related glitches (camera focus on QR codes, screen blackouts after scanning, and flip-mechanic disruptions).
- Occasional login/access problems after periods of inactivity or updates.
