Lineup
Think of the old Guess Who board game, but with films. Lineup lays out 24 posters, you ask yes or no questions, and every answer knocks out the films that do not fit.
How Lineup works
Scan the 24 posters. Get a feel for the years, genres and stars in play before you ask anything.
Ask yes or no questions. Ask about a year, genre, actor or director. Films that do not fit drop out.
Lock in a film. Guess when you are ready, even before your fifth question.
Why halving wins
Twenty four films and five questions is a tight budget. If every question removes about half of what is left, you get from 24 to 12, then 6, 3 and finally one or two films. A question that only removes one film wastes most of a turn.
Questions worth asking
- A year question when the posters span several decades
- A genre question when the board mixes comedies, dramas and action
- A cast or director question once a few names repeat across posters
Common Lineup questions
Is the Lineup movie game free?
Yes. The Daily and unlimited Practice are both free.
Is there a Lineup unlimited mode?
Practice builds a new lineup whenever you like. It does not count toward Daily stats or streaks.
When does the daily film change?
At midnight UK time, following GMT and BST.
Do I have to use all five questions?
No. You can lock in a guess at any point.
Lineup strategy
- Ask questions that split the remaining films close to half.
- A trait shared by several films beats a fact about one film.
- The three suggested questions count toward your five, so read them before using one.
- Use Practice to learn which questions cut the board fastest.
