“Can you name the movie from the emoji’s?” the video asks.
The ten-question quiz features arrangements of two to four emojis that should evoke a certain film.
The video was posted by GetQuizzyLiving, a TikTok page dedicated solely to trivia.
The short quiz has more than 11,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
The quiz has an equal amount of old box office hits and newer, big-budget films.
The viewer has five seconds to guess before the answer is revealed.
Of course, the quiz is based on the honor system as viewers don’t interface with the questions the way they would on a trivia app.
