If you're a true cinephile, we have a little riddle prepared to test your knowledge. The goal is to find the 50 movies in a painting of M&M's chocolates. Start searching!
Taking advantage of our free time during the Christmas holidays, we went exploring in The Internet Archive the largest digital library on the web, where we found an interesting riddle to share with you. This game, which was part of an interactive advertising campaign for M&M's chocolates, challenges you to find 50 movies in a painting. The instructions are simple: each movie title is represented by a visual clue in the painting. When you want to make a guess, you click on the clue and type the answer. Note that the answers correspond to the original movie titles, in English.
If you type the movie title and the box turns green, the answer is correct. If it turns red, it's incorrect or misspelled. Every time you get one right, the design will turn dark. Using the mouse cursor you can move around the painting, toggling between the Z and X keys to zoom in or out. To pause the game, press the spacebar.
It's important to pay attention to every possible detail, like the shapes of the figures or the expressions on the characters; even the smallest detail like a simple object can be the key to finding the correct movie. Generally the movie titles are horror or dark-themed, ranging from the 1950s to the mid-2000s (the original game came out in 2006). The game also saves your progress so you can continue it at any time from where you left off. So there you have it — if you're looking for a challenge worthy of your cinema skills, here's an excellent riddle to keep you entertained.
