What is Telematrix?
Telematrix is the TV sibling of Cinematrix, Vulture's movie grid game. The board is a three-by-three grid with a clue along the top of each column and down the side of each row. For each square, you name a TV show that fits both its row and its column, such as a series with a particular actor that also ran on a particular network. Every square needs a different show, so the obvious answer for one square may be better saved for another. Scripted and unscripted television are kept as separate puzzles, so reality-TV experts and drama fans each get their own chance to shine. Unlike most daily games, Telematrix comes out twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, which makes it a nice treat rather than a daily habit. It suits people who watch a lot of television and enjoy remembering who was in what, and it pairs well with Cinematrix.
How to play
- Pick a square and read its row and column clues.
