Scene It?

Party and Word Games

Scene It is a board game series built around film and pop culture trivia, created by Screenlife Games. Questions come from trivia cards or from clips played on a television through an included DVD, and the discs shuffle themselves each time they are loaded. A turn uses a six-sided die plus a category die, and the challenge may be a card, a solo My Play clip or an All Play question open to everyone. The first to reach the All Play to Win space must then win a final All Play, and a failure sends them to the Final Cut ring. The game debuted at Christmas 2002, was licensed by Mattel and was owned by Paramount from 2008. It ended in 2012 and returned in 2022 as a streaming game. Editions cover movies, television, music, Disney, Harry Potter and more.
