Our Story

How Bopster Was Born

Bopster started as a fun hobby project in January 2025. During the Christmas holidays just before that, I was playing Hitster with my friends when we thought, "Wouldn't it be amazing if we could create our own custom Hitster cards?" After some searching online, I found that while there was already a solid paid option available, the free alternatives were limited and not always reliable. That sparked the idea to create my own version, which I named Bopster. The name combines Bop (a catchy tune) and ster (a nod to the Hitster game). What began as a simple ability has since grown into something much bigger, with integrations for Spotify, YouTube, various AI services, and even the launch of Bopster Live. Whether you're creating your own music trivia game or hosting a fun night with friends, Bopster is here to make it easy and enjoyable.

Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Jordy, the creator of Bopster! I'm just a game enthusiast who managed to use AI to build a smart and fun website. Of course, working in IT helped me bring the technical side of things to life. I want to thank you for using Bopster and hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought me. Have fun and happy bopping! 😊

Release Logs

Version 2.5.5 - 15. Jan. 2026

Added support for Tidal, Apple Music & Deezer

  • Full integration added for Tidal: you can now use Tidal everywhere on Bopster. Just login, and add songs, import playlists and scan your Bopster cards. You can even, if you have a Premium/HiFi Tidal account, get a lossless stream in Bopster Live, aswell as in Chromecast! No donation required, and a Free Tidal account is enough for all features except Tidal streaming (you can still scan Tidal cards, but without a HiFi/Premium Tidal account it will convert to YouTube like other services).
  • Import your playlists & scan cards from Deezer & Apple Music: You can now import your playlists from Deezer & Apple Music (upto 400-300 songs). You can also scan your Deezer & Apple Music Bopster cards in Bopster Live. Due to limitations of the API, playing directly from these services in Live and using other features in the wizard is not possible.
