What is 1 Jour 1 Film?

1 Jour 1 Film is a French daily film guessing game. You propose any film title without a list, and the game reveals what your guess shares with the hidden answer: year, running time, genres, actors, and director. One film per day, the same for everyone, changing at midnight. The game runs entirely in French, so titles must be entered in their French form.

How to play 1 Jour 1 Film

Open 1jour1film.fr and start the daily film. You do not need an account. Enter any film title in the search box, then check how it compares with the hidden film in five fields: release year, running time, genres, actors, and director. Use those matches to choose your next guess; the fewer attempts you need, the higher your score. Keep guessing until all five fields turn green and reveal the answer.

When you finish, share your score or try another mode, including ranked solo games, themed challenges, and real-time 1v1 battles.

Reading the feedback

Each guess returns five comparison fields. Matching fields light up, and strong clues such as a shared director are highlighted. Partial overlaps count: two shared genres or one shared actor show progress rather than a miss. The score drops with every attempt rather than giving you a fixed guess budget. When you name the correct film, all fields turn green at once.

Game modes

The site offers several ways to play beyond the daily film:

  • Film du jour: The main daily challenge, free for everyone and refreshed at midnight.
  • Solo classé: A ranked series of films matched to your skill level. Each game changes your Kino rating and division. The free tier limits the number of ranked games you can play each day.
  • Défis thématiques: Sets built around themes such as Pixar, the 1980s, or Palme d’Or winners. Free users can play one themed challenge per day.
  • Battle multijoueur: Real-time 1v1 matches against a friend through an invitation link.
  • Calendrier: Replay previous daily films. Premium removes the archive limit.

Tips for naming the film faster

Begin with a film that matches several clues rather than committing to a narrow guess. A well-known ensemble film from a busy decade is more likely to share multiple fields than an obscure title.

The director is usually the strongest single clue. Once that field matches, only a few titles tend to remain.

Running time can separate films by the same director from the same decade. A short comedy and a long epic are unlikely to be the answer to the same set of clues.

Enter the French title. The site uses Dunkerque, not Dunkirk, so use the title distributed in France.

A guess that confirms only one clue is usually a poor use of an attempt. Since the score drops with every guess, choose a title that tests two fields at once.

Premium vs free tier

The daily film is free. Premium costs 2,99 € per month or 19,99 € per year and removes ads, lifts daily caps on ranked solo and themed challenges, opens the full archive, and allows unlimited battles. An account saves your scores and enters you in the weekly league ranking, but you can play without one.
