As we edge away from cold winter nights and get closer to the warm, sunny days of summer, there’s one annual chore that we can’t escape from - the spring clean. While some may love the yearly tradition of dusting and throwing out bags of the unwanted junk that piles up in the back of our cupboards, others dread it.
To help us make that small step in picking up the dustpan and brush or grabbing that polish, Attic Self Storage has created a film-inspired spring cleaning brainteaser to get us geared up for the big event - or to help us procrastinate for an extra five minutes.
In the movie poster puzzle, there are 9 characters that famously don the rubber gloves and overalls. From those that dance around with a hoover to characters that spend their time tidying up Earth, can you name all of the 9 family films that showcase these? On average, people can only guess 6 out of 9 correctly and they give up after just two and a half minutes - surely you can beat that?
Struggling? Can’t guess all of the names of the films? You’re not alone, the people who tried this before said, “I’m baffled by the broomstick and the hat” and “I felt that I should’ve known all the answers, but memory fails with age”.
Take extra care to look closely at the small details, such as what all of the characters are wearing and holding in their hands - it’s these little pointers that can help you win an extra point or two with your answers. If you’re still struggling, here are a couple of clues.. One of these characters was brought to life by a famous mouse and one used to clean up after his master before being set free by a wizard.
If you’re still finding it difficult to start your annual spring chores, start by writing down all of the tasks you need to do and prioritize them. Look up inspirational pictures of cleaning makeovers to get you in the spirit and think about what your home will look like when finished. Finally, stick on some upbeat tunes at a loud volume and get your groove on with your vacuum cleaner.
