HitstMusic: Guess the Song

Hear a song, slide it between the years on the table, find out in three seconds. Apple Music, no login.

A song plays. Nobody sees the title, the artist or the year — you just hear it. Then you slide the face-down card between the years already on the table, and three seconds later you find out whether you were right.

That's the whole game, and it works from the first minute.

WHY THIS ONE NEEDS NO ACCOUNT The music comes from Apple Music. With a subscription you hear the full track. Without one you hear the 30-second preview Apple provides for every song — no login, no account, no subscription, no trial that runs out. One deck is free and stays free.

ONE DEVICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE Two to eight players, each with their own timeline. The device is passed around; a hand-over screen makes sure nobody sees the next player's cards. Built for iPad first — big cards, a long timeline, readable across the table — and condensed for iPhone, not the other way round.

12 HAND-CURATED DECKS 1,434 songs, looked up one by one. Timeless anthems, one-hit wonders, rock, summer, golden oldies, hip-hop, Christmas, film and TV, plus a 500-song deck for the people who think they know everything. On top of those come decks for individual language regions. Every year verified by hand: the game asks for the original release, not the date of whatever compilation the track sits on today. One deck is free, one purchase unlocks the rest.

A DAILY CHALLENGE Ten songs, the same ten for everyone, seeded from the date. Miss a day and the streak breaks — and three days in a row unlock a joker that forgives one mistake.

HOW A TURN WORKS Hear the song · lift the card · the drop zones appear between the years · place it · the app asks in plain words ("between 1982 and 1995?") · three, two, one · the year flips open.

WHAT THIS APP DOESN'T DO No account, no ads, and no tracking across other apps or websites. Anonymous usage statistics help us improve HitstMusic. Your best runs and your streak stay on your device. No online multiplayer, no game codes, no subscription: one purchase unlocks the paid decks in the current library.
