TV Circuit gives you two television actors each day and asks you to connect them through the shows they appeared in. Pick a show from the first actor's credits, then an actor from its cast, and keep linking until you reach the target in as few steps as you can.
About TV Circuit
TV Circuit is a daily degrees-of-separation game about television, made by the small studio WFH Games as a companion to its film game Cinema Circuit. Each puzzle names a starting actor and a target actor and shows the starting actor's TV credits.
You build the chain one link at a time: choose a series the current actor was in, see its main cast, and pick the next actor. A show only counts if the actor was in at least two episodes, and each cast list holds the top thirty actors, so a one-off guest spot will not carry you. The puzzle is solved when the target actor appears, and your score is the number of links you used.
A new puzzle arrives every night at midnight Eastern Time. Each day has a global record, the shortest chain anyone has found, with the name of the player who set it first, and an archive holds every past puzzle with your own record next to the best one. The days run as a chain too: the target actor of one puzzle is often the starting actor of the next. Cast and credit data come from TMDB.
How to play TV Circuit
- Read the two actors at the top: the first is where you start and the second is the target.
- Choose one of the first actor's TV shows to see its main cast.
- Pick an actor from that cast to make the next link.
- Keep choosing shows and actors until the target actor appears.
- Restart to try for a shorter chain, and compare your count with the day's global record.

Tips
- Long-running ensemble dramas and sitcoms have big casts and make good bridges.
- Work backwards in your head: think of a show the target actor led, then look for someone from it.
- Cameos do not count, so lean on shows where an actor was a regular.
