This is a game about films. Every film on IMDB.com has a list of keywords, submitted by avid film fans.
These lists often run into the hundreds, with various plot elements described, and are ranked by other users based on how useful they think they are.
You know how this works; there's a secret film I've chosen that you have to guess.
If your guess is wrong, I will reveal the tags that your guess has in common with the correct film.
Visual feedback is provided.
important notes:
Potential spoilers throughout!
Keywords are ranked by how useful other users found them, so higher-up tags may be more useful for identifying a film, in general. However, there seems to be a tendency for users to upvote tags to do with things like nudity, for some reason.
Content warning: I am not responsible for what IMDB users have tagged films with, which can refer to any aspect of a film's content, so in theory, some quite disturbing concepts could be referred to; but only referred to, not displayed.
There is inevitable bias in the selection of films. I have pulled the top 5000 films from IMDB, ranked by how many users have logged it, ignoring whether they liked it or not. From that selection, I have filtered down a list of films I consider I know well enough to be a guessable.
In the interests of diversity, I would open to working with other people to select a wider list of films if my choices prove to be too... particular.
This game is still under development - I plan to add difficulty settings and ratings filters. Please send comments, suggestions, and feedback to the creator.
