Die Geschichte von Bopster.
Von einer einfachen Urlaubsidee zu einer globalen Plattform, die tausende von Spieleabenden bereichert.
Wie alles begann
Bopster begann im Januar 2025 als lustiges Hobbyprojekt. In den Weihnachtsferien kurz davor spielte ich mit meinen Freunden Hitster, als wir uns dachten: "Wäre es nicht toll, wenn wir unsere eigenen individuellen Hitster-Karten erstellen könnten?"
Nach einer Online-Recherche stellte ich fest, dass es zwar bereits eine solide kostenpflichtige Option gab, die kostenlosen Alternativen jedoch begrenzt und nicht immer zuverlässig waren. Das weckte die Idee, meine eigene Version zu erstellen, die ich Bopster nannte. Der Name kombiniert Bop (ein eingängiger Song) und ster (eine Anlehnung an das Spiel).
Was als einfache Funktion begann, ist seither zu etwas viel Größerem gewachsen – mit Integrationen für Spotify, YouTube, verschiedenen KI-Diensten und sogar dem Start von Bopster Live. Egal, ob du dein eigenes Musik-Quiz erstellst oder einen lustigen Abend mit Freunden verbringst, Bopster ist da, um es einfach und unterhaltsam zu machen.
