HITSTER - FLYING MIC NL

With Hitster Flying Mic there is a real microphone on the table next to the cards. You scan a card with the free Hitster app and the track starts playing. Whoever thinks they know the hit presses the button - and the microphone shoots into the air.

Catching it is only the start. The colour lighting up on the base sets your task: name the title, guess the artist, say whether it is a solo act or a group, or hum the melody. The team that first gets eight tracks in the right order on its timeline wins.

The box holds 225 music cards and the interactive microphone, which runs on three AAA batteries (not included). This is the Dutch-language edition. The manufacturer states ages 16 and up, for 2 to 10 players, playing time 30 to 60 minutes.

A loud game for a birthday or an evening with friends. You need some table space, a smartphone with the app, and the kind of company that will happily half-dive across the table.
