WhatTheHit

Tired of music games with songs nobody under 25 knows?

WhatTheHit is the music party game that lives in the real world. It listens to whatever is playing around you — and turns it into a live guessing game. Current hits included. Always up to date. No expensive add-on packs needed. Hear a song. Guess the year it was released. That's it. Sounds simple — gets surprisingly addictive.

MUSIC IS EVERYWHERE. SO IS WHATTHEHIT. A bar playing 90s hits. A road trip with the radio on. A walk with your playlist. A dinner party that suddenly needs entertainment. WhatTheHit turns any of these moments into a game — instantly, without setup, without anyone having to be the DJ. Just open the app and let it listen. The song gets recognized, and the guessing begins.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY

• Party — Take turns on one shared device. Reorder players via drag-and-drop to match your seating, or go head-to-head in Buzzer mode. Works beautifully on iPad as a table centerpiece — the digital board game nobody has to pack away.
• Jukebox — Stream songs from curated playlists and guess the year at your own pace. Perfect for the waiting room, the commute, or a lazy Sunday afternoon. No pressure, just music — and the quiet satisfaction of nailing a year from the first few notes.
• Race — One host, multiple challengers on their own devices. 30 seconds per song. Closest guess wins the round. The leaderboard tells no lies.
• Radar — Let WhatTheHit identify songs around you in real time. See the title, artist, and release year appear instantly. No guessing needed — just music trivia on tap.

HINTS THAT TEACH WHILE YOU PLAY Stuck on the year? Unlock AI-generated hints across six categories — Sports, Technology, Politics, Film, Music, and People. Each hint is a real historical fact from that year: "Germany won the FIFA World Cup for the second time." Hints help — but every one costs you points. Use them wisely.

ALWAYS FRESH. ALWAYS CURRENT. WhatTheHit features AI-curated playlists across genres, decades, and regions — including the latest chart hits, a dedicated Gen Z collection, and seasonal specials. No more games that stop at 2022. No overpriced expansion packs.

FREE TO PLAY. MORE TO UNLOCK. All four game modes, live song recognition, multiplayer, and a selection of curated playlists are free — no strings attached.

Upgrade to unlock the full song library and all playlist categories. – Monthly, yearly, or lifetime — your choice. – No ads. No tricks.

WhatTheHit uses ShazamKit for song recognition and Apple Music for 30-second song previews. No Apple Music subscription required.
