How to play A Film About Us

In short

• The director creates a room on Seansuj and sends the link. Everyone plays on their own phone, just enter your name.
• Together you shoot a film in eight scenes. In each scene, you choose what your character does.
• One person is the star of the scene. Everyone else guesses their choice and scores a point for each hit.
• At the premiere you get your film’s poster, awards and a list of real films you’ll all enjoy.

Setup

1. The game runs on the film website Seansuj. The button on the game page opens it in a new tab.
2. The director, aka the host, enters their name and creates a room. They can turn on “Playing with kids” mode.
3. The director sends the link. 2 to 8 people join, each on their own phone.
4. In the waiting room, everyone ticks the streaming services they have. The final list is built from them.
5. The director starts shooting with a button. They move to each next scene with a button too, nothing starts by itself.

Scenes

The film has eight scenes, each with a different vibe:

• 1. Screen TestWarm-up: one big film or a series, your favorite era, how much popcorn.
• 2. Night in the Old HouseThere’s knocking from the basement. Grab a flashlight and go down, or keep sleeping?
• 3. The ChaseThe police and the mob are on your tail. Floor it or negotiate?
• 4. Mystery on the TrainSomeone is dead, and you’re all suspects.
• 5. Someone Falls in LoveWhat should love look like in your film?
• 6. Party MishapFace in the cake, with the whole family watching.
• 7. Door to Another WorldWhat do you see behind the wardrobe door?
• 8. The FinaleHow does your film end?

What’s in a scene

1. The main question. Everyone secretly picks what their character does. The star of the scene answers about themselves, and everyone else also guesses their choice.
2. The reveal. Names appear next to the answers, so you can see who picked what.
3. Quick “this or that” questions, like “Zombies or vampires?”
4. A film still (in scenes 2–7). You answer “I’m in”, “Not for me” or “I know this one!”, and the others guess whether the star knows the film.

Casting

Before the finale, you vote on who fits a role, like “Who would die first in a horror movie?” The casting results only go on the poster.

Star of the scene

Every player takes a turn as the star. With two players, you swap being the star.

Points

• A point for every correct guess of the star’s choice, film stills included.
• The most points wins the “Knows You Best” award.
• Answers about yourself aren’t scored. There are no right or wrong choices.

Premiere

1. Your film’s poster, with a title made from the two scenes where you agreed the most, plus the cast. You can share it, with or without names.
2. A profile of each person in words and colors: their role in the film, what they like and what they don’t. Anyone can hide their profile.
3. Awards, like “Bravest Viewer” or “Soul of the Comedy”. Everyone gets one.
4. Your shared watchlist: 12 films and series from your services, picked to suit everyone. The “Vote for a film” button takes you to the vote.

If you have a Seansuj account, you can save your taste from the game. Seansuj deletes the answers of people without an account 24 hours after the game ends.

Common questions

Why is the game on Seansuj and not on Ferajna?

Seansuj is a film website that knows where to watch a film and how much it costs. Without it, there would be no film list at the end. Ferajna doesn’t pass anything to it, it just opens a link.

Is the game available in other languages?

For now it’s Polish only, because the film list shows Polish streaming services.

Can you play with kids?

Yes. In “Playing with kids” mode, the scarier questions disappear and only family films stay on the list.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. No account or app install needed.
