Music Timeline Quiz
A self-contained party music quiz: hear a song, then slot it into your timeline by release year.
Overview
A single-screen, Hitster-like music timeline quiz for 2 to 4 players. Draw a song, scan the QR code with your phone, press play in Spotify, and guess where the track belongs in your personal timeline by release year. Right spot and you keep the card; first to the target wins. Not affiliated with Jumbo or the official Hitster board game.
The deck holds 597 songs across eleven categories, from Rock and Pop to BANGERTIME, Happy Days, Danish classics, Festival anthems, Disney, and Movies & Musicals, all spanning 1940 to today. Categories are multi-select, so any mix becomes its own deck, and every card's QR code links straight to the Spotify track.
The whole game is one HTML file with zero build and zero server. Behind it sits a small deck-building toolchain that resolves candidate tracks against the Spotify API, validates release years, and bakes the QR codes into the song database.
