We play the whole film and average the color of its frames, a little at a time, from the first frame to the end of the credits. Laid side by side in order, those colors are the film’s barcode. Settings › Color switches between the average color and the most common one.

Night scenes, shadows and long fades to black all count. Some films really are that dark. If one looks wrong to you, tell us which, and we’ll check it.

We add films over time, and new ones reach the app without an update. Send us the ones you’d like to see.

Every day there are five films, the same five for everyone, each with four titles to choose from. A new five starts at midnight where you are. Play all five on the same day to keep your streak going.

In Guess, open Groups and start a group. You’ll get a six-character code to send to friends; they join with it in Guess › Groups › Join with a code. The group’s board shows how everyone did today, this week, their streaks and their best Marathon runs, never which films.

On a film’s page, tap Share and choose Wallpaper, then save the image to your photos. Hold the phone upright for a phone wallpaper, or on its side for a computer’s (16:9).

Check that notifications are on for Fade to Color in your phone’s settings, then choose a time again in Settings › Guess › Reminder. On a day you’ve already played, there’s no reminder.

Not yet. Your saved films, moments and lists are kept on your phone, with no account, so they don’t travel with you. We’re working on it.

Most of it is only on your phone: deleting the app deletes it. To remove your name and scores from groups, use Guess › Groups › Delete my name and scores. Our privacy page has everything else.
