Emoji Decode: guess the movie by emoji.
Emoji Decode is an emoji guessing game for live streams: a row of emojis spells out a movie, song or TV show, and your chat races to name it. It is a community game made by @quizlab with the StreamArena SDK, and we played it before it went into the gallery.
At a glance
Type the title the emojis spell out.
Name the movie
How do you guess the movie by emoji?
Read the emojis left to right like a sentence: 🚢🧊💔 is a ship, some ice and a broken heart, so Titanic. Most puzzles are the plot in three pictures or the title taken literally. The letter slots show the answer's length, and a hint drops in halfway.
What makes it a good stream game?
Rounds are quick, the screen reads in a second, and you don't need to be a film buff to spot a lion and a crown. Wrong answers show up as they come in, and they are often funnier than right ones.

Each row shows the emojis, the category and the answer.

| 🕷️👨 | Movie | Spider-Man |
| ❄️👸 | Movie | Frozen |
| 🦖🏞️ | Movie | Jurassic Park |
| ☔💃 | Song | Singin' in the Rain |
Decode from chat or from a phone.
Like every StreamArena game, Emoji Decode plays by phone everywhere and by chat in Upstream.so.
Your chat plays by typing. YouTube, Twitch, Kick and Rumble chat land on one scoreboard, on Upstream.so's free plan too.
Add the game as a browser source. Viewers scan the code on screen and play from their phone. Free, no app, no account.
Guests join from their phone in every setup, and their answers stay secret until you reveal them.
Scoring. Answers count by the moment they were sent, so a slow chat never decides who was first.

Questions
Who made Emoji Decode?
@quizlab, a maker in the StreamArena creator program. StreamArena reviewed and approved it for the gallery.
Is it only movies?
No. There are packs for movies, songs, TV shows and common phrases.
Do I need to spell it exactly?
No. Small typos, capital letters and "the" are ignored, so "lion king" counts.
Do emojis look the same for everyone?
The puzzle is drawn on your stream, so every viewer sees the same emojis, whatever phone they have.
