Movie poster quiz
What is Guess the Movie Poster?
Guess the Movie Poster is a free movie poster quiz from Moviespot. Each round shows one film poster broken into big blocks of colour: you guess the movie by poster alone, with no clips or clues. There is no daily limit: Guess the Movie Poster is unlimited practice, so play one poster or fifty.
Every skip makes the poster sharper, through five tiers from 8 to 48 blocks across. Guess the movie poster at the first tier for 1,000 points, or keep skipping until the picture gives it away. It is a pixelated movie poster game that rewards a good eye for colour, layout and faces.

Guess the movie poster at tier 1 for 1,000 points, or at tiers 2 to 5 for 800, 600, 400 or 200.
Wrong guesses
A wrong guess does not sharpen the poster or cost points; it is only counted. Skip when you want more detail.
Tier 5 skip reveals
Skipping the sharpest tier ends the round with 0 points and shows the answer.

FAQ
Guess the Movie Poster FAQ
Answers about Guess the Movie Poster tiers, scores, poster sources and sharing.
Is Guess the Movie Poster free?
Yes. Guess the Movie Poster is free to play in your browser, with no account or signup. Your current round and session score stay in this browser tab.
Is there a daily limit?
No. Guess the Movie Poster is unlimited practice, so play as many posters as you like. It has no daily puzzle and no leaderboard; for those, try Framed, Moviedle, Spotle Movie or the Daily Challenge.
Will I see the same poster twice?
Not in one session until you have seen every poster at that difficulty. Then Guess the Movie Poster offers to start the list again.
Where do the posters come from?
From The Movie Database (TMDB). Guess the Movie Poster only uses versions without the film title printed on them, then shows the official poster when the round ends.
What do the difficulty levels mean?
Each film in Guess the Movie Poster keeps the difficulty it has everywhere on Moviespot, from well-known Easy films to Impossible deep cuts. A harder level means a less familiar movie, not a blurrier poster.
What happens when I skip?
In Guess the Movie Poster, Skip makes the poster one tier sharper and lowers the points on offer by 200. A skip at tier 5 ends the round and reveals the answer.
Is this affiliated with other poster games?
No. Guess the Movie Poster on Moviespot is an independent game made by Moviespot and is not affiliated with any other movie poster quiz.
