  • Friday Film Club

    Friday Film Club

    What a great, simple idea!

    Friday Film Club is the world’s first invite only weekly film quiz. It’s was set-up primarily for film nerds, but seems to have taken on a life of its own.

    Each Friday members receive an email at 3PM with a screenshot of a film.  The simple task is to then identify the film in the fastest possible time.  The longer you take to guess it and the more clues you use, the less points you score.

    Sounds easy right? Well, sometimes it is and other times it can be fiendishly tricky.

    There’s an on-going leader board and Friday afternoons tend to take on a slightly different slant once you’re up and running. Especially if you are competing against people you know.

    As soon as you click-through to the site you’ll be able to request an invite and you’ll be ready to rock ‘n roll for 3PM this Friday.
