Grid.

Nine squares. Two clues each. One film that fits both.

Every row and column is a star, a director, a genre or a decade. Name a movie that satisfies the row and the column at once. Any credited role counts for actors, each film works once, and you get nine guesses. A wrong guess costs one. Miss a square and the game shows you what would have fit.

1 point per square, plus a bonus for a perfect grid.

A hidden film. Eight guesses. Every miss teaches you something.

Guess any movie and the game tells you what it shares with the mystery film: lead actors, director, genre, decade. Narrow it down like a detective. Stuck after three guesses? Buy a hint for a point: a one-line plot, the genre and era, or a link through a shared cast member.

Starts at 10 points and drops with each extra guess or hint.

Name the film from the credits, smallest role first.

Clues arrive one at a time, starting with the bit parts nobody remembers, then the year, the director, the co-star and finally the top-billed name. Think you can place it from the supporting cast? Say so early and bank the points. Guess wrong and the next clue unlocks.

10 points on the first clue, falling to 2.

Sixteen movies. Four secret groups of four.

Find four films that share something: a star, a director, a famous pairing, an IMDb rating range, a title quirk, an Oscar and more. Pick the four that belong together. Four mistakes and the round is over.

2 points per group, plus 2 for a flawless round.

Five movies. Oldest to newest. One shot.

Put five films in release order using the arrows, then lock it in. You only get one submission, so this one separates the people who remember when a film came out from the people who just remember it.

2 points for every film in the right spot, up to 10.

Connect two actors through the movies they share.

You get two actors and have to link them, film by film, in as few steps as you can. It is the old Kevin Bacon game, with a library of film credits behind it.

Up to 10 points. Shorter chains score more.
