How to play Framed
Framed shows you a single frame from a movie. If you cannot guess the movie from the first frame, an additional frame is revealed with each incorrect guess, for a total of six frames.
Early frames are typically from less recognizable scenes, such as establishing shots, close-ups of objects, or background scenery. Later frames become progressively more iconic and easier to identify.
Type the name of the movie and select it from the autocomplete list. The game covers a wide range of films from different decades, genres, and countries.
You have 6 guesses to name the movie. The puzzle resets daily at midnight UTC.

Tips
- Study the first frame carefully before guessing. Look at the color palette, aspect ratio, and film grain to estimate the era. A warm, grainy look suggests the 70s-80s, while a clean digital look suggests post-2010.
- Background details are gold. Street signs, license plates, architecture, and landscape all narrow down the country and setting, which often points to specific well-known films.
- If you recognize an actor in a later frame, think about their filmography chronologically. Actors often have a distinctive look in specific decades that narrows down the film.
- Framed leans toward well-known films. If you are torn between an obscure indie film and a popular mainstream movie, go with the popular choice.
