There are plenty of streaming services available today. But how often do they serve as just background noise while you’re busy working, talking, or even playing a game on your smartphone? Well, what if you could interact with your movie? Like literally taking an active part in it, solving puzzles and minigames to progress. Snax has you covered on this front.

Not your mainline streaming service, Snax is an abode for fully interactive original movies, placing users at the centre of it all. It has all kinds of genres like thriller, detective, horror, comedy, and many more. While watching or playing through these movies you will be tasked with solving numerous challenging puzzles, playing minigames, and being completely immersed into the movie through certain augmented viewing sections featuring 360-degree video. Gamers and film enthusiasts can together enjoy all this in little bite-size formats.

Consider a movie where zombies are chasing the protagonist. You will be tasked with finding a hiding place for the main character. If a detective is trying to find the killer in a homicide, you’re supposed to solve the case. When Mary Antoinette’s palace is stormed by revolutionaries, you must solve multiple riddles if you want her to successfully escape. The entire concept is just so cool and being involved in the movie’s key decisions should increase the immersion tenfold. FMV games do keep getting released but an entire streaming service of them? Now that’s new.

All the movies showcased on Snax have been written and directed by brilliant filmmakers using high-production values to ensure no compromise on quality. The service is constantly updated with new gameplay features and high levels of interactivity. In an upcoming series loosely based on Queen’s Gambit, you can actually play chess against your opponent. You will soon also be able to play poker like you’re a heist member from Ocean’s Eleven. This is all so exciting!

Start controlling movies by downloading Snax from the App Store for free. It features numerous subscriptions so you can pick the one best suited for you.

While Snax isn't quite a point-and-click adventure game, there are some similarities. Check out the best 25 of them available for iPhone and iPad
