La Mubi is a browser-based local-multiplayer party game that turns movie knowledge into pure social entertainment — no app download, no account, no subscription required. Powered by the TMDB API, it surfaces high-rated films complete with posters, synopses, directors, genres, and Letterboxd links, then challenges your group in two distinct ways: act out a movie in silence while your team races to guess it, or smoke out the one player who never saw the film before the group votes them off. Everything runs in a single browser window you pass around the room, making it perfect for game nights, film clubs, or any gathering where people love movies.Documentation Index

Key Features
- Two distinct game modes — team-based silent Charades and social-deduction Impostor, each with their own lobby flow and scoring logic.
- TMDB-powered movie cards — every round surfaces a real, high-rated film with its poster, synopsis, director, genres, and a direct Letterboxd link for post-game discussion.
- Configurable round timer — choose 30 s, 60 s, or 90 s per round to match your group’s pace.
- Team and player management — add, rename, and reorder teams and players directly from the lobby without leaving the page.
- Persistent state via Zustand + localStorage — game state survives accidental refreshes; the session resumes exactly where you left off.
- Bilingual EN/ES support — full English and Spanish interface, switchable at any time.
- Dark and light theme — toggle between themes to suit the room’s lighting or personal preference.
- No account needed — bring your own TMDB API key and the game is ready; players never need to sign in or install anything.
