The games

Five of them, every day. Streaks are per game.

Game 01

Verdict

One film a day. Rate it blind, then see the whole room's histogram and how contrarian you are.

Game 02

Lineup

Five clues, five films, one shot. A plot or a line of dialogue, four films it could be. It gets harder every round.

Game 03

Sequence

Eight posters, shuffled. Drag them into the order the films came out.

Game 04

Redacted

Eight posters with the titles blacked out, and the names listed underneath. Work out which belongs to which.

Game 05

Versus

Two films, ten rounds. Every film is measured at its biggest fortnight ever. Round one is a landslide, round ten is a photo finish.
