How it works
Ready in ten seconds
Host
One person opens blitzter.com/play and taps Host game to get a 4-letter code. Pick the mode, the decades and the number of rounds.
Join
Everyone else opens Blitzter on their own phone, taps Join game and types the code. Same room or a video call away.
Guess
A 30-second preview starts in sync everywhere. Lock in year, artist and title, then watch the reveal: who was spot on, who was closest, who was way off.

Modes
Your party, your rules
The host picks the mode in the lobby. Every mode plays solo or in teams, and you can skip anything you don't know.
Free order
Start with what you know.
- All three fields are open at once — answer in any order.
- The first right answer per field earns a +1 speed bonus (for the year: only the exact one).
- Everyone can still answer every field, so being slow never costs you points.
Best for groups who like a race without the risk.
Blitz ⚡
First come, first served.
- Every answer is checked the moment you lock it in.
- The first right answer takes the field for everyone and earns +1 — nobody else can answer it anymore.
- A year counts when it's within three years of the release.
- A wrong answer costs 1 point and locks only you out of that field. Skipping is free.
- The round ends as soon as every field is taken, and every screen flashes “⚡ Anna took the artist!”.
Best for competitive groups who know their music.
Timeline
The year-guessing card game — without the cards.
- Everyone starts with one song card on their own timeline.
- Hear a song and place it: before, between or after the years you already have.
- Placed right? The card is yours. The right artist or title earns +1 point each, but only placing wins cards.
- First to 10 cards wins — the host sets the target between 3 and 20.
Best for groups who love guessing years, not shuffling cards.
Teams — with any mode
Play in up to four teams: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Teammates share one set of answers — whoever locks a field first answers it for the whole team, so agree fast or trust your quickest player. Great for big groups, kids and anyone who'd rather not play alone.
Easy — year, artist and title become four buttons each: no typing, same points. Made for kids and anyone who doesn't know every song.
Scoring
Every year counts
Typos are forgiven: “Bob Marley” is enough for “Bob Marley & The Wailers”, and “(Remastered)” or “feat. …” don't matter. Badges like Spot on, Perfect and On fire plus end-of-game awards keep the bragging rights coming.
