Could you name that film in just ONE random screen shot?
How much of a cinema buff are you? Could you look at one still shot and guess the movie?
That’s exactly how the game Framed works. You are given a single freeze-frame from a movie and six chances to get it right. If you miss on screen shot #1, you’ll get a different image to try and figure it out. Miss on #2? Another random image from the film. And so on….
The game resets daily to keep you coming back for more, ala Wordle.
