Movie Reveal
You start with 200 points and a hidden film. Each clue you open, from the lead actor to the box office, costs points, so the trick is to buy only what you need.
Clue prices
| Clue | Cost |
|---|---|
| Actor 1 | 25 |
| Director | 30 |
| Actor 2 | 15 |
| Actor 3, writer, cinematographer, genres, year | 10 |
| Oscar nominations, duration, ratings, box office | 5 |
Spend like a detective
Open the cheap clues first. Ratings, duration and Oscar nominations cost 5, while year and genres cost 10, and together they often narrow things to a few films. Only then decide whether an expensive actor clue is worth it. A guess costs nothing but uses one of your five tries.
Before you start Movie Reveal
- The word count of the title is free. Use it to rule films out before you spend a single point.
- Cheap clues first. Duration, Oscar nominations and ratings cost only 5 points each.
- The first actor costs the most. Open it only when the cheap clues leave a few films.
- Deep Cut mode uses less famous films, so expect to spend more.
