Guess the Actor

Guess the Actor is a celebrity face quiz for movie fans. The daily game starts with an extreme close-up of a famous face: eyes, a nose, a bit of a smile. You have six tries to name the star, and every wrong guess zooms the photo out until you see the whole picture.

✅ How to play

1. Look at the close-up, start typing a name and pick the actor from the list.
2. Wrong or skipped? The photo zooms out a step.
3. After two misses you see one of their films, after three another one, after four their initials.
4. Solve it in as few guesses as you can and share your score.

✅ Three ways to play

• Daily: one star for everyone, new at midnight, with your streak saved in your browser.
• Unlimited: as many actors as you like, with no repeats until you have seen all 900.
• Quiz: ten photos, four names each, ten seconds per photo. Quick answers score more points. On a computer, keys 1–4 work too.

The actors come from the casts of popular films released between 1996 and 2025, from blockbuster heroes to character actors you know from everywhere. The photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences; the photographer and licence are shown under “Photo credit”.
