The Clues

You start with Clue 5, the vaguest hint. Each clue you reveal gets more specific. Here's how they work:

Clue 5 — The Setup
A vague description: genre, setting, or mood. Could be dozens of movies.
Clue 4 — The Character
Introduces a key character without naming them. Narrows it down.
Clue 3 — The Conflict
Describes the central tension or plot. Getting warmer.
Clue 2 — The Twist
A memorable scene, line, or detail. Most players get it here.
Clue 1 — The Spoiler
Names the actors, director, or year. Nearly a giveaway.

Scoring

Your score equals the clue number where you guess correctly. The earlier you guess, the higher you score.

Streaks

Play every day to build a streak. Miss a day and it resets to zero. Your streak shows on your result screen — share it to flex on your friends.

Tips

Pay attention to the setting and mood in Clue 5 — it eliminates most genres right away. If a character description mentions a specific profession or era, that often narrows it to a handful of films. Don't be afraid to guess early — a wrong guess doesn't cost you a clue.
