Roger Ebert's Movie Trivia

Test your movie knowledge with 200 cards comprising 400 total questions. This fun, accessible trivia game is inspired by the luminous film reviews of Roger Ebert and made in complete partnership with his estate.

Name the film being described in this Roger Ebert review- "The movie is not about ghosts but about madness and the energies it sets loose in an isolated situation primed to magnify them. There is no way, within the film, to be sure with any confidence exactly what happens, or precisely how, or really why. Director Stanley Kubrick delivers this uncertainty in a film where the actors themselves vibrate with unease."

If you answered The Shining, then you might have what it takes to win Roger Ebert's Movie Trivia! In this 200-card game, Ebert's film criticism serves as a launchpad for movie trivia-you don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of his writing to win, just a passion for cinema.

Each card features a quote from one of Ebert's reviews, including context clues such as actors, directors, and plot details, as well as offering a microcosm of Ebert's insights and distinctive style. Two questions follow- The first question, the easier of the two, asks you to identify the film based on the quote. The second question is harder, testing players' general knowledge of the film at hand. Even though this question is meant to be more difficult, a variety of question types-such as multiple choice and true or false-keeps the game fun for everyone while offering a challenge for cinephiles.

Through gameplay, players will encounter great (and not so great) movies, and in the process, rediscover Roger Ebert's writing-its soulfulness, wit, and above all, an abiding love for film.
