Hitster: Flying Mic^*

Hitster: Flying Mic is a music party game from the Hitster line that combines music trivia with quick reflexes: whoever recognises a song launches a microphone into the air. You play in teams with 2 to 10 people, a game takes about 30 minutes, and it is rated for ages 16 and up. If you like Hitster but want more speed and chaos at the table, this is the one.

What's it about?

As in the original, each team builds a timeline of hits ordered by release year. The new element is the microphone, which decides who gets to guess and what.

How it plays

1. The DJ scans a card with the free app and the music starts.
2. Anyone who recognises the song presses the button and the mic jumps into the air.
3. Whoever catches it faces the colour-coded challenge on its base: name the title, name the artist, say whether it's a solo act or a group, or hum the melody.
4. If the team succeeds, it must place the card's year correctly in its timeline.
5. The first team with eight correctly placed cards wins.

What makes it special?

The flying mic adds dexterity and scrambling to a music quiz, and the four random challenges mean the biggest music buffs don't automatically win.

Who is it for?

Parties and social groups of adults who love music and like it loud and fast.
