How to play

๐Ÿ‘ฆโšก๐Ÿง™๐Ÿฐ, Harry Potter. Ten emoji movie and book plots to decode, with progressive hints and a create-your-own mode to challenge friends.

How to play Emoji Plot

Emoji Plot turns famous stories into pictograms. ๐Ÿ‘ฆโšก๐Ÿง™๐Ÿฐ is Harry Potter; ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐ŸŒ is The Lion King. Ten emoji sequences, 30 seconds each, and one job: type the title before the hints give it away. The year appears at 15 seconds and the first letter at 25, and every unanswered guess costs you points. It's the ultimate pop-culture speed round for movie buffs and bookworms.

Rules & scoring

A correct guess with no hints is worth 100 points; with the year hint, 50; with the first-letter hint, 25. Answer checking is forgiving on purpose: it ignores 'The', tolerates small typos, and accepts partial titles, 'harry potter' counts for 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' The bank holds 210 movie and book plots, from blockbusters to classics, and the create-your-own mode lets you build a challenge link to send friends.

Tips to win

Name the most iconic element of the emoji set first, the lightning bolt, the crown, the rocket, and let it trigger the title. Type fast when you're confident: every second of hesitation risks the year hint cutting your score in half. If a sequence stumps you, wait for the year; decades narrow most films to a handful of candidates.
