Since recently, I've been heavily struggling to look for footage and/or images of a Cineplex TimePlay segment that I saw in theaters back in 2013 promoting National Geographic's Brain Games. I found proof in form of this tweet from TimePlay's Twitter account promoting the aformentioned segment:
If you don't know what TimePlay is, it allows users to connect their tablets, phones, etc. to a big screen to play games such as trivia. It's not being played in Cineplex theaters anymore; it stopped around late 2020 to early 2021.
In the National Geographic segment, the only games I think I can actually remember are:
I think there might've been a third game alongside the two I mentioned above, but who knows until I or someone else find images and/or footage of the segment, since my memory about the whole segment is quite fuzzy. I also think these games were presented on a yellow background. Here's a mockup image (not the greatest or most accurate, I know) of the first game I mentioned that contains details that I think I remember:
I also think that sometime after I had seen the segment in theaters, I saw footage of it on a website (not sure which one exactly), but I can't find it anymore. I've tried several websites and search engines, such as Google, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, the Internet Archive, and others, and yet still nothing interesting showed up. Any help in finding this is welcome.

In the National Geographic segment, the only games I think I can actually remember are:
- One where a question along the lines of "Which square is darker?" and the illusion of two gray squares stacked ontop of each other were provided on the big screen, and players had to guess if the two squares were the same or not (I forgot the exact method)
- Another where players were challenged to count the amount of a certain letter (I forgot which one) that appeared in a sentence or paragraph displayed on the big screen (I forgot the exact method for this one too)
