How to Play

Connect two actors through shared films. Can you keep your path short and your box office total low.


The Rules

  1. You see a Start actor and a Target actor.
  2. Name a film the current actor appeared in, and a co-star from that same film.
  3. The film must already be released — upcoming titles don't count.
  4. If both check out, the co-star becomes your new current actor.
  5. Keep going until your co-star is the target — that's a win.

Scoring

A running box office total tracks the films in your path. The goal is a short path and a low total. Can you skip the blockbusters and find the deep cuts? Anyone can bridge actors through billion-dollar tentpoles. The best runs prove you know ball.

Hints

You get 3 hints per game. Movie reveals a title the current actor appeared in, Co-star reveals someone from a title you've already typed, and Star titleslets you reveal one reference-only title at a time for the Start or Target actor. Each reveal uses one from your total.
