A game of comparisons

Search for any movie in the catalog. Every guess reveals how its year, studio, rating, main actors and genres compare with the mystery film. Keep what matches, follow the arrows, and close in on the answer.

Follow the arrows

An up or down arrow tells you whether the mystery movie is newer or older and whether its rating is higher or lower. Green means an exact match; yellow highlights partial overlaps in actors and genres.

Actors are the strongest clue

Each movie lists its three top-billed actors. A single shared name narrows the field dramatically — actors connect films across studios, decades and genres.

Poster hint

Stuck after three guesses? Reveal the movie poster as a hint. After five guesses you can give up and see the answer with all its parameters.

A recognizable catalog

The pool is built from the most-rated movies on TMDB — a few hundred films most people have seen or at least heard of, refreshed periodically. No obscure direct-to-video sequels.
