What is Movie Trivia?
Movie trivia for a mixed room: blockbusters, Oscar winners, animation and the Bollywood films everyone has seen, so nobody is locked out by a round of 1940s noir. Ten questions, four options, instant marking. It is the film round of a home quiz night, the starter for a movie-night argument, and the thing to play while the popcorn is in the microwave.
The Bollywood Quiz is the dedicated Hindi-cinema version with a separate emoji round; Movie Charades and the Emoji Quiz are the acting and guessing games for the same crowd.
Film rounds for a quiz night
- Taglines: read the tagline, name the film — write ten on paper before the night
- Emoji films: use the Emoji Quiz or the Bollywood emoji round as round two
- Soundtrack round: hum the theme (no lyrics) — the room names the film
- First and last lines: read a famous opening or closing line
- Director connect: name three films and the room names the director
- Year round: name the film, the room guesses the release year to within two
- Act it: Movie Charades with the timer for the energetic middle round
- Finale: a ten-question Movie Trivia round on the TV with the timer on
