How the Hunt Works
The Basics
- Each image blends references from two different movies into one scene.
- Your mission: identify both movies.
- Type your answer - a dropdown will suggest movie titles.
- The difficulty level determines your potential points.
- For movie franchises, the general title is enough (e.g., 'Back to the Future' works for any film in the trilogy)
- Keep an eye out! A movie might return in another mashup with a fresh pairing.
- The images are 100% AI-generated and curated by humans—these are not actual movie scenes.
Scene Hunters images are designed to evoke well-known U.S. and international films for gameplay and trivia.
