  Maybe they're using AI to write the clues, because they range from "Badly designed" to "Outright wrong". It's obvious from the distribution of answers that most of the clues are too easy. A vast majority of players get it right on guess 1 or 2. Almost no one guesses correctly in 3 or 4 guesses. Instead of an even distribution, you get a big clump of correct guesses in the first two clues, and a couple of players who just don't know the film either failing or getting it in 5. No middle ground. And there are some really obvious steps to take if you want to fix the difficulty curve. For example *don't put the title of the movie in the first clue.* That should be an obvious ground rule, but either the verbatim title, or a substantially similar phrase *often* shows up in clue 1. Save big giveaways like that for clue 4! Then there are the clues that are... not factually incorrect, but poor descriptions of the film. (Fight Club, for example, doesn't take place in a single city, so it feels wrong to describe it as a "cityscape".) There's an argument for these being legitimate clues, even if they don't seem to really understand the film, but it's weird to run a movie-themed trivia game when you don't really understand the movies you feature. These clues are a kind of middle ground. They don't ruin the game, but they're not good. None of them are vague or abstruse in a playful way (if the early clues used double entendre or fun wordplay to describe films unusually but accurately, that would actually make the game more fun!) They're just awkward. However... Some of the clues are straight up wrong. If the correct answer is "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" is considered incorrect, then the first clue *cannot* be "A wealthy island estate with eccentric guests.". That clue doesn't apply to any films in the Knives Out franchise except Glass Onion, so it breaks the game! It really seems like no human intent has gone into setting interesting, enjoyable clues.

  The clues seem AI generated. This game specifically says it’s movies. The first one I got was The Boys which is a TV show. Some of the clues about Coco was “a world with music defines everything” and “ a girl travels to the land of the dead on vacation” neither of those is a clue for the Pixar movie Coco.

  Fun premise, although a number of the clues are incorrect. For example, American Beauty does not take place in the 1950s and Good Will Hunting takes place in Massachusetts, not "a small coastal town in New England".
