Geo Sort, On Location, and Typecast are now listed in the DLE Directory. None of the three requires a sign-in. If you want a geography board that tells you when a row is locked, start with Geo Sort. If you want one visual film guess, start with On Location. If you want a longer deduction from credits, start with Typecast.
Geo Sort is five ranking rounds
Geo Sort puts five places on a board with a statistic — coastline length, land area, and the like — and asks you to order them from largest to smallest. Drag a row or tap to swap. You get three tries on a round. A green lock means that place is in the right slot. Yellow means it is one row off, if you want that hint turned on.
The daily is five of those rounds, not one list. A new set arrives at midnight Pacific. Unlimited and practice sit beside the dated board if five rankings are not enough. Stats stay in the browser.
Choose Geo Sort if you already know the places and you want the work to be the order, not the name. It is closer to GeoRankle than to a silhouette quiz. GeoRankle asks where a country ranks highest worldwide. Geo Sort already picked the statistic and asks you to sort the five.
On Location is one 360° set
On Location, from Smashcut Games, drops you into a filming location and lets you look around. The question is the movie, not the city. Five guesses. A miss costs one. A Reveal Detail card also costs a guess, but never the last one; it shows a detail from the film somewhere in the scene and moves the camera to it.
Placing the film pays 1,000, plus 1,000 for every guess left. Speed adds a little more. A display name is optional. The site uses TMDB data and is not endorsed by TMDB.
Choose On Location if you want one film to find by looking, not by comparing attributes. Moviexto gives you ten title guesses and eight columns of feedback. This one gives you a street, a building, or a room, and asks whether you recognize the set.
Typecast is three redacted careers
Typecast, also from Smashcut, asks for three actors. Year, genre, and rating stay on the list. The titles are blanked. Fifteen guesses are shared across the three names. A miss costs a guess. Hint cards cost up to three: a yes-or-no about whether the person is in a franchise, or the first word of their highest-rated title. A correct name is free.
Solve one without cards and the next actor pays 1.5×. Guesses left at the end add a bonus. The three names pay 100, 250, and 500. There is one gambit, and you can pass an actor if you want to move on. A display name is optional. This is not Typecasted, which is a different game.
Choose Typecast if you want a longer movie daily that is about people rather than a single title. It takes more reading than On Location, because the clue is a whole career instead of one place.
Which should I try first?
Start with Geo Sort if you want five short ranking rounds and you like geography more than films. Start with On Location if you only have a few minutes and you want one 360° guess with a five-guess cap. Start with Typecast if you want to sit with a filmography and spend the guesses across three actors.
On Location and Typecast share a Smashcut page and an optional display name, but they do not play the same way. One is a place. The other is a résumé with the movie names removed.
FAQ
Are these three games updated daily?
Yes. Geo Sort posts five shared ranking rounds at midnight Pacific. On Location and Typecast each post a new numbered Smashcut daily with the next cut.
Do they require an account?
No. All three play in the browser. Geo Sort keeps stats on the device. On Location and Typecast let you set a display name if you want one.
How long do they take?
Geo Sort is five rounds with three tries each, usually several minutes. On Location is one location and five guesses, and it is the shortest of the movie pair. Typecast is three actors and fifteen shared guesses, so it runs longer.
How is Typecast different from Typecasted?
Typecast is Smashcut’s actor-from-credits daily. Typecasted is a separate game at typecasted.xyz. They do not share a board.
Conclusion
If you want five lists to put in order, start with Geo Sort. If you want one film from a location you can spin, start with On Location. If you want three actors hidden in blank titles, start with Typecast. Tomorrow will change the places, the set, and the credits. It will not change which of those three you actually enjoy reading.
