Play Cinematrix Every Day? Soon, You Can Prove It.

We get so many emails from folks telling us that they play Cinematrix every day, and while we love to hear it, we can’t help but wonder, Really? Every day? Well, as of Monday, you can put an end to that skepticism. Personal stats, including streak tracking, are on their way.

Starting on Monday, you’ll find an expanded endgame pop-up that provides a tally of your current streak, plus a record of your longest one. Below them will be a chart containing a history of how many squares you got correct each time you played. Are you consistently going nine out of nine? Now you’ll have proof of that, too.

For the purposes of your streaks and distinctions, we defined a “play” as having made at least one guess on a grid that day. You can play any Cinematrix to maintain your streak, so if you’re daunted by a given day’s new grid, you can play one from the archive to keep your run going. (Only one play per day counts toward a streak, so you can’t hammer the archive to pad your stats.)
