Genius, I have the same app idea in my ideas list except I wanted to make it more competitive with a real-time round-based concept where players have limited time to guess.

Somehow this movie-title guessing is working especially well with emojis.

Thank you!

This idea is on my list for quite some time. It's simple and fun. I really don't know why I waited so long to build it.

I'm also planning to add some competitive features, like a leaderboard. But I liked your idea. A duel mode between two or more players sounds really fun!

And I agree it works really well with movies, but it's on the roadmap to expand to tv shows, games, books, bands, songs...

I have no idea what the first one is. And the skip button reloads the same page. Nice concept

Thank you!

The skip button should take you to another random emoji. And maybe it did, but it was the same random emoji as before. I should probably add some code to don't let this happen.

After I nailed U+1F680 U+2604 U+1F4A3 = Armageddon, I left feeling empowered.
