About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to mosh! Hitster: Wacken Open Air is here to turn any gathering into a full-blown metal festival. Forget those boring trivia games; the energy here is pure, featuring an epic playlist curated by Wacken Radio (via RADIO BOB!). The focus is entirely on the power of rock and metal, bringing everything from classic hard & heavy anthems to modern hits that define the scene. The selection is a true mix: you'll find legends who have graced the legendary Wacken festival stage alongside bands that have never played there but are essential to any respectable soundtrack. The challenge is simple and addictive: listen to a song snippet and arrange the tracks chronologically, building a musical timeline of the genre. It's the perfect chance to see if you truly know metal history or if you just know how to scream the chorus. This highly dynamic game works for groups of up to 10 people, making it the ultimate party game, and it can even be played solo for those wanting to test their skills. It's a loud, intense, and unapologetic experience designed for metalheads who want to celebrate the evolution of the genre while having a blast with friends. If you're the type who can recognize a guitar riff in seconds, this game is your new favorite!
