Can you name a movie just by looking at a fragment of a scene? Then you may want to play HollywoodPlayer, the new Facebook game that offers a bunch of movie-themed puzzles, trivia challenges, movie clips, and iconic film images.

The social game debuted last week for film buffs and casual players alike, and it is part of a series of movie-related titles that have been played more than 100 million times. Film companies Sony and Universal will begin promoting it this week in an effort to drive more engagement for their own movies, said chief executive Dave Long of Exponential Entertainment, the creator of the game, in an interview with GamesBeat. Long’s Seattle-based company was the first winner of our Who’s Got Game game startup contest back in 2009.
