What's inside

447 Russian songs marked RU, plus 3 Italian hits marked IT (Celentano, Toto Cutugno and Ricchi e Poveri) that everyone in the USSR knew.

There are also six popular Ukrainian songs: Chervona Ruta, Hop-hop, Bez boyu, Obiymy, Na nebi and Plakala.

Cards are 65×65 mm. The front shows the artist, year and song, the back has the QR code. The corner number helps you find a song in the list; it gives no hint about the year.

How to play

All you need is a phone and a free app

  1. Get QR Song!

    A free app for iPhone and Android. It scans these cards and plays the song.

    App Store Google Play

  2. Connect Spotify

    Premium is best: the full song plays and the title stays hidden, so nobody can peek. With free Spotify the answer shows on screen after 3 seconds, so flip the phone right away.

  3. 30 songs play on YouTube Music

    Some songs are not on Spotify or were removed from it. Those cards link to YouTube Music, and the app opens it by itself. The title is visible there, so the phone is best held by someone who isn't guessing.

  4. Rules

    Scan a card, listen, and place the card on your timeline: before or after the cards already there. Guess the right spot and you keep the card. First to collect 10 cards wins.

The original Hitster app will not read these cards: it only understands codes from its own decks. QR Song! does read original Hitster cards, so you can mix the decks.
