Scene It? 80s Deluxe Edition

Do you enjoy trivia games?  Scene It Movies is one of our favorite games. We have had hours of fun playing it, so when I found out Scene It had an eighties trivia version, I had to try it out. I grew up in the eighties so I knew I would have fun re-living them. The cover alone brings giggles, because it features Kirk Cameron. Who didn’t love him?   If you have played any of the other Scene It games, the Eighties trivia version has the same basic set up.

The game begins with players choosing one of four collectible tokens to represent their team. The game board is collapsible and features two sizes, giving you the option of playing a 15-minute quick game or a 40-minute extended game.  Teams advance around the board by answering two types of questions: traditional trivia cards and DVD-based puzzles. The trivia cards, which resemble what you might find in Trivial Pursuit, come in three different categories: green “Take Three” questions, orange “Songs, Slogans and Sayings” questions, and yellow “Pop Culture” questions. They vary in difficulty, and some of the tougher questions are challenging enough to stump even the most loyal ’80s enthusiasts.

The main attraction, however, is the interactive DVD game. Featuring hundreds of video clips, sound bites, and images from the ’80s, the DVD challenges players to solve brain-teasing puzzles. With a variety of different puzzle categories, the DVD puts your knowledge of ’80s to the test. Categories include “Distorted Reality,” where players must identify a character based on a distorted image, and “Spellbinders,” which challenges players to decode a secret message.

They cover the popular movies, tv shows,songs, fads and more from the eighties and it was so much fun to remember them. If you are a Scene It fan and know some eighties trivia, you would definitely enjoy this game. By the way, I did win against my husband.  Scene It games are available at Amazon and stores everywhere.
