How to play this prompt
Strategy notes specific to “Name a movie set in New York City” — not generic advice.
Movie prompts split the crowd between blockbusters and deep cuts — the blockbusters are always Plankton.
Your edge here is Do the Right Thing: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank King Kong as your backup — same logic, different answer.
The trap is Spider-Man — correct, but it's the reflex answer for a reason: it's the first thing the category suggests. Home Alone 2 is the same story. Typing either one puts you shoulder-to-shoulder with most of the player base at 10 points.
Notice how Night at the Museum (Rare) outscores Spider-Man (Plankton) without being obscure at all. Rarity isn't about difficulty — it's about what the crowd overlooks.
Rare answers travel in packs: if Men in Black comes to mind, The Devil Wears Prada and King Kong are usually one thought away. Train yourself to pull the whole cluster, not just the first name that surfaces.
Rated 4/5 difficulty — only 11 banked answers, so matching the bank is genuinely hard. Precision matters more than speed here.
