Film buffs, this one is for you
Movie prompts reward the kind of knowledge you pick up from end credits and late-night rewatches. Ask a room for a Pixar film and you will hear Toy Story and Finding Nemo a dozen times. Say Luca or Elemental and you are already ahead. That gap between the famous answer and the deep cut is the whole game.
This mode deals you dives built only from film and television prompts that appeared in past daily puzzles: studio filmographies, actors' and directors' careers, franchise characters, sitcoms and prestige TV. Seven prompts, 25 seconds each, as many dives as you want.
Tips for movies & tv prompts
- Go for supporting roles. In character prompts, the hero is everyone's answer; the sidekick's cousin from one episode is yours.
- Early and late filmographies are gold. A director's first feature or an actor's pre-fame role is far rarer than their biggest hit.
- Mind the exact scope. "Walt Disney Animation Studios" is not the same as Pixar, and a prompt about the original series won't accept characters from a sequel show.
- Titles can be typed without "The" and without punctuation. Spend your seconds on finding a rarer answer, not on formatting.

FAQ
- Does TV count, or only movies?
- Both. The pool mixes film prompts with TV shows, animated series and their characters, as long as the prompt is about the screen.
- Why wasn't a real movie accepted?
- Lists are large but not perfect, and some prompts limit the answer to a studio, year or box office figure. Unmatched answers are saved and reviewed, and good ones get added.
- Is this the official Krillion movies mode?
- No. It is an independent fan-made game using prompts from past daily dives, and it is not affiliated with krillion.io.
