What is Cinematrix?
Cinematrix is a daily movie trivia grid from Vulture, the entertainment site. The board has three clues across the top and three down the side, and every square in the grid needs a film that matches both its row and its column. A clue might be an actor, a director, a decade or an award, so one square could ask for a film from the 1990s that starred a particular actor. The challenge is that the clues cross over in ways that make you dig deep into your film memory, and each film can only be used once, so you have to plan which answer goes where. If you prefer television, its sister game Telematrix works the same way with TV shows. It suits film buffs, people who always know which actor was in what, and anyone who loves settling movie arguments with friends.
How to play
- Pick a square and enter a film that matches both its row and column clues.
