Clear rules. Clear terms.

The aim

Choose one actor or actress, then bid on films from that star's catalog to build a lineup you like. The game shows a film poster and title for each auction. Players decide for themselves which final lineup is best; Movie Draft does not calculate an official winner.

Choose a mode

• Play online: The host creates a room for 2–5 players, chooses the star and settings, and shares its link or code. Guests enter a display name and join. The lobby shows who is connected. The host may start when everyone is present; the game can also start automatically shortly after the room fills.
• Local two-player: Two people use the controls on one device.
• Versus AI: One person plays against the computer opponent.

Settings

Each player starts with the same fictional budget from ₹20 to ₹100, in ₹10 steps (₹20 by default). Each player drafts 5, 6, or 7 films (5 by default). The host or local players can choose a film order where the catalog supports it. Film order may be shuffled, and films can reappear later when more auctions are needed.

Bidding

1. The opening bid on a film is ₹1. Players can raise the displayed bid by ₹1 or use the +₹2 control, within their remaining game budget.
2. A player cannot bid when their lineup is full or when the current film is ineligible for that player. A player cannot outbid their own leading bid.
3. Teesko! Pass withdraws a player from that film's auction. In online play, a player who passes cannot bid again on that film.
4. In an online room, when nobody else is eligible and able to raise the high bid, the high bidder gets the film for that amount. Some uncontested films can be claimed for ₹0. If nobody bids, a film can be skipped.
5. The online host can skip a film. A film may appear again in a later auction. It can be drafted by different players; repeats within one player's lineup are normally prevented unless the star's whole catalog has fewer films than the selected lineup size.

The local two-player and AI controls resolve passes slightly differently from online rooms. The on-screen controls and messages govern the current round.

Finish and share

The draft ends when every player has filled their lineup. The result shows each lineup, amounts spent and game budget left. You can create a result image, download it, or use your device's share menu. If you post it to Instagram and ask friends to comment on the best lineup, that discussion takes place on Instagram, outside Movie Draft. There is no in-game vote, ranking, prize or official result.

Who can use it

The Service is intended for people aged 13 or older. If you are under 18, use it only with the involvement or permission of a parent or guardian where applicable law requires it. We do not currently verify age or parental permission. Do not use the Service if you are under 13 or if use would violate a law that applies to you.

Free entertainment; no real money

The ₹ symbol represents fictional bidding units inside the game. These units are not money, property, stored value or a payment balance. You cannot deposit, buy, withdraw, transfer, redeem or exchange them for money, goods or services. There are no entry fees, wagers, cash prizes or monetary rewards. Movie Draft does not determine an official winner; opinions about lineups are subjective.

Playing and online rooms

You may play locally, against the AI, or in an online room. The room creator is the host and controls the shared draft. Online rooms depend on the host's browser and network connection; they are not permanent saved games. Closing or reloading the host tab can end a room. Guests may be able to reconnect to their places after an interruption, but reconnection is not guaranteed. Device, browser, network and third-party service problems can delay or stop play. Catalogs, settings and rules may change, and film availability or lineup uniqueness is not guaranteed beyond the behavior shown in the game at the time.

Display names and conduct

You may enter a display name of up to 30 characters. Other people in your room can see it, and it may appear on a shareable result image. Do not use another person's name deceptively, include sensitive information, harass others, infringe anyone's rights, or use the Service unlawfully. You are responsible for what you share outside Movie Draft. We may restrict access or remove inappropriate content or features when reasonably necessary.

AI, reactions and outside voting

The AI opponent makes automated game decisions. Quick reactions are short in-game expressions; the Teesko! reaction is separate from the Teesko! Pass bidding control. Movie Draft has no general chat or in-game comment system. Instagram posts, comments and any informal voting are controlled by the person posting and by Instagram, not by Movie Draft. We do not receive or count Instagram comments or decide a winner from them.

Film material and our material

The Service refers to films and performers and may display third-party posters or images. Film titles, posters, photographs, names, likenesses and production-company marks remain with their respective rights holders. Movie Draft's own code, branding, interface and original content remain with Movie Draft or their respective licensors. Use of film material in the game does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or an official partnership with any performer, studio, distributor or rights holder. See the Rights Notice for a contact route.

Sponsored content and external services

Some placements are marked Sponsored and may lead to an advertiser's website. Advertising does not turn the fictional bidding budget into real money. An external link is provided for convenience and does not automatically mean Movie Draft endorses the destination. External services, including Instagram, operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

Availability, changes and responsibility

We may update, pause or discontinue features, catalogs, ads or the Service. We aim to provide a usable game but cannot promise uninterrupted access, perfect accuracy of film information, or that a shared result will work in every browser or social app. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for indirect losses arising from interruptions or third-party services. This does not exclude any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes and contact

We may revise these Terms. The effective date at the top of this page will change when a revised version is published. If you continue using the Service after a change, the updated Terms apply, subject to applicable law. For questions, contact MovieDraft@gmail.com.

Information used by the game

• Display names and room data: In online play, your chosen name, room code and role, connection status, selected star, bids, game budget, films drafted and reactions are exchanged as needed to run the room. The host's browser maintains the shared game state and sends it to connected participants. The game does not provide a permanent player profile or saved match history.
• Browser session storage: A guest's temporary room role and name are stored in that browser's session storage to assist reconnection. See the Storage Notice.
• Shared results: Result images are created in your browser and can contain player names and lineups. Sharing or downloading is your choice. We do not post to Instagram for you.
• Advertising clicks: If you open a sponsored image, text area or button, our redirect may record the campaign identifier, which part was clicked and a timestamp. The count is a raw outbound-click count, not a unique-person count. The click record itself does not contain a player name or account identifier.
• Messages to us: If you contact us by email, we use your message and contact details to respond and handle the request.

Technical services and recipients

Online rooms use browser-to-browser WebRTC connections and an external PeerJS signaling service. Other room participants, including the host, receive the room information needed for play. WebRTC and service providers may process network information, including connection metadata or IP addresses, to establish connections. Vercel hosts the site and stores ad configuration, media and click-event records. Google Fonts, a JavaScript CDN, poster or image hosts, ad media hosts, advertisers and social platforms may receive requests when their resources or links are used. Their own policies govern their handling of those requests. Hosting and network providers may keep access and security logs even though the game code does not create player accounts.

Purpose, retention and security

We use this information to operate and reconnect online rooms, show results, serve and measure sponsored placements, respond to messages, and keep the site working. Online room state is intended to be temporary and generally disappears when the host session ends. Session storage generally lasts for the browser tab's session, subject to browser behavior. Ad click-event records are retained until deleted; there is currently no automatic deletion schedule in the application code. Hosting and other service-provider logs follow those providers' practices. We take reasonable steps to protect the services we control, but no internet connection or service is perfectly secure.

Young users

The Service is intended for ages 13 and up, not for children under 13. People aged 13–17 should use it with parent or guardian involvement where required by law and should avoid putting personal information in display names. The current game does not verify age or parental permission. A parent or guardian can contact us about a concern at the email below.

Your choices and questions

You can leave an online room, close the tab, clear the site's session storage using your browser settings, avoid sharing a result, or avoid clicking an ad. You can contact MovieDraft@gmail.com with a privacy question or request. Because the game has no accounts and raw ad-click records do not identify players, we may be unable to connect a particular room or click record to you. We will assess requests under applicable law and the information available to us.

Updates

We may update this Notice as the Service changes. We will update the effective date shown above when a new version is published.
