Wraparty

A daily movie-connection game. One pair of people a day, same for everyone: connect Meryl Streep to Keanu Reeves through movies they were in, in as few links as you can. Mobile-first, no login, scored in friendly tiers against par.

Built on tool-template: Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind 4, Prisma 7 on Neon, hand-rolled monochrome UI. Movie data from TMDB (this product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB).

How it works

• Every link is checked server-side against TMDB credits: acting in a real role or directing. Playing yourself in a documentary doesn't count.
• Par is the shortest chain the seed script found, computed once per puzzle.
• Streaks and stats live on the device. Solves are reported anonymously to show "312 solved today, average 4.2 links".
• The TMDB token never reaches the browser: search and validation go through our own API routes.

Run it

npm install
cp .env.example .env       # Neon URLs (app role) + TMDB_API_TOKEN
npx prisma migrate deploy  # with the owner role, first time only
npm run seed -- --dry-run  # resolve the curated pairs, compute par
npm run seed               # schedule them as daily puzzles
npm run dev

The curated pairs live in scripts/seed/pairs.txt. Pairs outside par 2–4 are skipped automatically; the seed report (scripts/.seed-report.json) shows what was kept and why.

Commands

npm run dev         # dev server
npm run build       # prisma generate + drift check + next build
npm run typecheck   # next typegen + tsc
npm run lint
npm test            # vitest
npm run seed        # schedule puzzles from scripts/seed/pairs.txt
