I built FilmLink (https://filmlink.io) because I wanted a movie version of the Wiki Game. To win, you connect films by linking actors to their roles: Movie -> Actor -> Movie -> Actor.Today is the official launch! It's completely free to play and features:Daily Puzzle: A new challenge every day with a global leaderboard.Multiplayer (Beta): Race against friends in real-time to see who can finish fastest, or who can do it in the fewest clicks.I'd love to hear your thoughts on the gameplay. I'm actively collecting feedback on the multiplayer experience and keeping an eye out for bugs to help shape the future roadmap. Let me know if you manage to top the leaderboard today!
