BRUNDLE
Name the day's Jeff Goldblum film in three guesses, knowing it is usually The Fly.
Every day: One Jeff Goldblum film a day to name in three guesses, with a new clue after each miss; by the game's own rules the answer is The Fly about 90% of the time. New puzzle: Midnight on your own device's clock (the game picks the film by your local date).
BRUNDLE is a tongue-in-cheek daily film puzzle inspired by JEFFGOLDBLUMLE. You start with the clue that the film very likely features Jeff Goldblum, get a more specific clue after each wrong guess, and have three tries; the rules admit that the answer is The Fly nine days out of ten.
About BRUNDLE
BRUNDLE is a small joke of a daily film game, made as a nod to JEFFGOLDBLUMLE, the game where every answer is a Jeff Goldblum film. Its name comes from Seth Brundle, the scientist Goldblum plays in David Cronenberg's The Fly, and the game is upfront about the gag: its own rules say the answer is The Fly about nine days in ten.
Each day there is one film to name, with three guesses. You start with a broad clue, and every wrong guess reveals one more, going from general to specific, such as who directed it and what happens in it. On the other days the answer is another Goldblum film, so a player who always types The Fly first will usually win in one, and the fun is in the days when that fails and the clues have to do the work.
The film is picked from the date on your own device, so it changes at your local midnight, and the game keeps your streak and a count of how many guesses your wins took. The header says the game is now part of LOLWORD.COM. It suits film fans who know their Goldblum, and anyone who wants a daily puzzle that takes under a minute.
How to play BRUNDLE
- Read the first clue about the day's film.
- Type a film title and pick it from the list of suggestions.
- If you are wrong, read the next clue, which is more specific than the last.
- Name the film within three guesses, then check your streak and share your result.
Tips
- The rules say the answer is The Fly 90% of the time, so most players open with it.
- When the first guess misses, think through Goldblum's other films: the clues about director and plot narrow it quickly.
