A list of films appears — real titles, real years — and the name behind the camera is hidden. Directors leave fingerprints: genres they return to, eras they define, actors they keep casting.
This is the auteur-spotting mode. If you've ever recognized a filmmaker from two frames of trailer, this is your puzzle.
Free, in your browser, no signup — one daily puzzle shared by every player, plus a six-chapter campaign that ramps from crowd-pleasers to deep cuts.
How it works
- Read the blanked-out list of films by today's mystery director.
- Guess who directed them — names autocomplete as you type.
- Each wrong answer reveals more of the filmography.
- Name the director within your guesses to extend the streak.
Frequently asked questions
Is this harder than the actor version?
Usually a little — faces are easier to recall than credits. But directors' filmographies are more distinctive, so one recognized title often gives the whole answer away.
Where does the film data come from?
From Wikidata, under a free license — every film, year and credit shown is a real entry from its database.
