Reel Rules

Step into a lamp-lit film workshop and assemble balanced contact sheets. Each row and column needs two amber circles and two violet triangles. Three matching reels cannot sit together, and completed rows and columns must remain unique. Tap writable film frames to cycle their exposure while pinned clues hold their place.

Eighteen editing cuts offer different public clue patterns. The strip inspector reads actual counts, triples and duplicate lines, and lets you clear editable frames in a chosen row or column. One splice can expose a blank frame only when every completion allowed by the visible clues and rules agrees. Ambiguous or conflicting evidence spends nothing. Every valid completed contact sheet is accepted, and earned cuts remain available for another editing session.
