Movie games like Framed.
Recognize a frame, remember a credit, or work out where a familiar movie belongs.
Six movies, six categories, three checks. Free, no account.
Start with the kind of recognition you enjoy
Framed asks you to name a movie from images. Its classic mode offers six frames, and the site also lists one-frame, title-shot and poster challenges. That is a good fit when a costume, face or location brings the title straight to mind.
Cast Six gives you the movie titles rather than hiding them. The visual recognition can help you start, but the puzzle is deciding where each film fits among six overlapping categories. If remembering the name is the frustrating part of a guessing game, a fixed cast gives you something different to work with.
When you would rather follow the credits
FilmLink connects a starting film to a destination through shared cast and crew. It rewards remembering another movie that supplies the next step. Cast Six keeps the search smaller: every film you need is already on the board.
When a clue should make you recall a title
Movie Grid uses row and column clues and asks you to supply suitable films. That is a recall task rather than recognition from a still. A Cast Six lineup reverses the starting point: the titles are supplied and you choose their places.
When you want hidden groups
CineLinkr asks for four groups of four movies with hidden connections. For more on that style, including Filmclues and other formats, see our movie games like Connections guide.

This example shows the interaction without starting a scored round. Place every film once. In a full Cast Six puzzle, categories can overlap, so several individual matches may look right while only one complete arrangement works. You get three checks; moving and Undo are free.

Are these games connected?
No partnership is implied. Each linked game has its own rules and access terms. This guide compares the type of movie knowledge you use, rather than declaring one game better for everyone.
