Clues describe either a title or recognizable story elements. Hints reveal
a year and actor or story detail. Plot clues can contain story spoilers.
The host selects the first team to answer correctly. Selections made before
a hint earn 3 points; selections made after a hint earn 1 point. Leaving all
teams unselected awards zero. No movie title needs to be typed. The selected
winner can be changed or cleared before or after revealing the answer.
