Moviedle gives you one movie a day and hides almost everything about it. What you start with is a long cast list where every name is blanked out but each actor's age at the time of release is shown, alongside empty slots for three genres, the director and the release year. As you guess, actors' names and the other details come into view. It belongs to a small family of games that includes Actorle, and the satisfaction comes from knowing a film by the shape of its cast before the title ever appears.
The closest picks also build toward a film from its credits, whether a cast list or a profile card that fills in. Comparison games that score each guess on director, cast, year and more follow, then actor-centered games that flip Moviedle around, and finally two puzzles about release years.
One of its three modes has you identify a film from the people who appear in it, Moviedle's core idea, while the others ask for an actor from the films on their record and, weekly, a director from the movies they made.
Listed among Moviedle's sister games, it reverses the puzzle: the mystery is an actor, whose films appear untitled with their years, genres and IMDb scores, and every co-star you name reveals any titles the two of you share.
Builds the film from its profile instead of its cast: a card shows just the genre and running time at first, and each of your six guesses adds another detail, from the release date and director to the cast and plot.
Lets you choose which credits appear: you spend from 200 points to buy details about the mystery film, cast and director among them, along with the year and its earnings, and you get five guesses to name it.
Each word you guess can unmask part of a film's hidden plot summary, cast and director, and words close in meaning count for something too, so it rewards the same credit knowledge as Moviedle. Answers are the highest-earning US releases since 1948.
Shows a poster a section at a time, alongside a trivia hint about who directed and starred and a single-sentence plot summary, so Moviedle's credit clues get a visual partner, but you get only three guesses.
Compares every guess with the mystery film tile by tile, covering genre, year, director and cast alongside studio, rating, critic score and box office, each graded as exact, close or off, with ten tries in all.
Another ten-try comparison game: each guess is lined up with the answer on its director, two of its stars, its genres, year and IMDb score, plus box office and rating, so knowing who starred still pays off.
You choose films from a list and see how each stacks up against the hidden one on age rating, critic score, runtime, genre and release year, with arrows showing higher or lower, closer to a stats game than Moviedle's credits.
Shifts the mystery to a performer: a filmography is shown with parts blacked out, you have 15 guesses and hint cards that use some up, and afterward you can bet the score you earned today on two tougher performers, valued at 250 and 500.
The television spin-off of Actorle: an actor's TV roles are listed with their years and genres and how many episodes each ran, while the show names stay hidden until you name the cast mates.
Uses the same kind of credits for a different job: ten films have to be sorted by release date on a timeline, judged only by who directed them, who starred and their genre, and hints can show a still or the title.
Shares Moviedle's name but aims at the release year: three movies from a single year appear along with who directed them and their genres, and over six tries, with hints growing stronger, you work out which year it was.
The daily film starts as a cast list with every name hidden but each actor's age at release visible, plus empty slots for its genres, director and year. As you guess, names and other details fill in. Ages are a useful hint on their own, since a cast mostly in their twenties suggests a different kind of film than one led by actors past fifty.
The site credits Laszlo Kiss, and Moviedle sits in a menu of sister games such as Actorle, Actorle.tv, Moviemoji, Cinections and Fill The Grid. Actorle also has an app for iPhone and iPad. Film data comes from the TMDB API, which the site notes does not endorse or certify it.
Actorle flips the puzzle so the mystery is a performer, whose film titles stay hidden until you name co-stars, and Actorle TV does the same with television credits. Typecast also works from a partly blacked-out filmography, and Kino.wtf offers both an actor mode and a mode built on a film's cast.
