Hayao Miyazaki movie trivia

Recognizing Hayao Miyazaki gives you a starting point, not a solved board. These puzzles include a film with a recorded director credit for Hayao Miyazaki. The other movies can lead somewhere quite different. Use the familiar connection to narrow your choices, then check that each remaining category still has a candidate.

Recorded film credits include My Neighbor Totoro (1988), with Noriko Hidaka, Chika Sakamoto, Hitoshi Takagi; Spirited Away (2002), with Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki; Princess Mononoke (1999), with Yoji Matsuda, Yuriko Ishida, Yuko Tanaka. These credits explain why the films belong in this collection; they do not give the six correct placements for a board.

This collection currently includes 16 puzzles across 6 packs. Films in its lineups include Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, X-Men, My Neighbor Totoro, Liar Liar, Big Hero 6, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The recorded release years range from 1980 to 2022. Counts refer to puzzles containing at least one recorded Hayao Miyazaki director credit in the available data, not six films by the same person.

Choose a title below to see all six films and all six clues before you play. Each round gives you three checks, with free movement and Undo between checks. Optional hints place one correct match and reduce the score. Start with one board, compare the possible matches, and return to this list whenever you want a different cast. Your progress saves in the browser, so you can stop between puzzles.
