A Trip to Springfield, Trivia Style
From the game pieces to the trivia cards, every aspect of Scene It? has been infused with the charm and humor of The Simpsons. The game begins with players choosing one of four collectible tokens to represent their team. Sculpted out of metal, these tokens have been modeled after some of the show's most recognizable icons: the family TV, the Springfield power plant, the three-eyed fish, and a slushie cup. 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 "general" questions, orange "song/dialogue" questions, and yellow "pop culture" questions. They vary in difficulty, and some of the tougher questions are challenging enough to stump even the most fervent Simpsons fans. The main attraction, however, is the interactive DVD. Featuring hundreds of video clips, sound bites, and images from the show, the DVD challenges players to solve brain-teasing Simpsons puzzles. With a variety of different puzzle categories, the DVD puts your knowledge of The Simpsons to the test. Categories include "Krusty's Cartoon Cut 'Em Ups," where players must identify a character based on a distorted image, and "Blank-Diddly Blank," which challenges players to decode clever wordplay. Fun for Every Level of Simpsons Fan
The DVD has been designed with the fans in mind. Released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, Scene It? is the ultimate homage to TV's most famous dysfunctional family. You'll see cameos by your favorite characters, watch video clips from classic episodes, and be treated to the Simpsons soundtrack. With hundreds of questions, Simpsons Scene It? has something for every type of Simpsons fan. The game is difficult enough to pose a challenge to Simpsons die-hards, but casual fans don't need to worry about being excluded. So long as you can identify recurring characters like Sideshow Bob and Ned Flanders, you will be able to answer some of the easier questions. What's in the Box
DVD, Flextime game board, 4 collectible metal tokens, 175 trivia cards, 16 buzz cards, 4 category reference cards, six-sided numbered die, eight-sided category die, and instruction sheet.

 Best. Scene It. Ever |
| Review Date: September 4, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Mathew Starner, Denver, CO |
As I've seen "Scene It?"s made for Seinfeld and Harry Potter, I always wondered how there couldn't be Scene It? for the Simpsons. So I just about crapped myself when I saw this on Amazon. I should also include that the one amazon sells is the Deluxe Edition and stores mostly sell standard. They cost the same, but the Deluxe has an extra 30 trivia cards, 6 more buzz cards, and the pieces and dice are all a lot better crafted. Make sure to buy the Deluxe.
Anyways, the game is just like any other Scene It with games using sound clips (where you guess which character is talking), sketches to guess a character, scrambled images of characters and scenes, and most importantly, clips to watch where you either have to finish the line or answer a question. The amount of All Plays in the game is astounding. I've played through at least 10 full games and, while I do see repeats more and more, there are always still new questions after clips or new images unscrambling. Not to mention tons of trivia cards. The only things that are really limited are the 16 Buzz Cards (10 in the standard edition), which are like Chance cards. You won't go through 10 Buzz cards in a single game, but they get old pretty quick once you lap through them.
The difficulty has a big range from incredibly easy questions, such as: after playing a clip of Homer jumping Springfield Gorge, it asks "What Springfield landmark is Homer jumping?". Stuff that you can get without the clip or having watched the simpsons for ten years. There are also some impossible trivia questions, asking about random guest stars from season 8 that you never had any idea had a part in the Simpsons. But I did have to rate this game a 5 in educational value, since due to these kinds of questions, I now know Professor Frink's first name and what character Edward Norton played on the Simpsons.
You do, however, have to, at the bare minimum, have a working memory of character names to have a chance at winning the game. So as long as you know who Kent Brockman or Rod Flanders are, you should be fine for several of the questions. I assume most looking at this product, though, are really into the Simpsons and that shouldn't be a problem for.
I honestly have no hesitation giving this Scene It 5 stars. It is probably my favorite Simpsons toy and I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I've set it up to play. Questions are heavily weighted towards the first 10 seasons, but do occasionally have question about episodes as recent as Season 20. Even a moderate Simpsons fan can enjoy the game immensely. |
A fun, casual game exclusively for Sismpsons fans!

Let me start by saying I'm not very familiar with the other "Scene It?" brand dvd/board games. So I can't say how this Simpsons edition compares to others. What I CAN tell you is that if you like casual trivia-based board games with a home video element AND you are a HUGE fan of The Simpsons, there is no doubt that you will love this game!
The concept is simple: up to four players (minimum 2) progress around the game board while answering various Simpsons trivia challenges until someone ends up in the winner circle. The game comes with a foldable game board, 4 player tokens (in the shape of Simpsons icons: the TV, the power plant, the 3-eyed fish, and a Slushie cup), two dice (1 typical 6-sided, 1 8-sided to draw a category), a big box of trivia cards, a small stack of "Buzz" cards, and a game dvd.
The way it works is this: players roll both dice to start their turn. Players move the number of spaces from the 6-sided dice and attempt the challenge indicated from the 8-sided dice. Two types of challenges are from the dvd, where either you or everyone (depending on the die roll) have to answer a trivia question from a variety of challenges before time runs out. Three other challenges come from the trivia cards, where one player reads the question to another player who has to answer before 30 seconds is up. Rolling a "Buzz" card means one must draw the card and either incur the penalty or reap the reward, depending on the card, similar to "Chance" cards in Monopoly. There is also a players choice on the 8-sided dice where the player may choose any challenge they please.
To make a long story short, this dvd/board game is a LOT of fun for anyone who fancies themselves a Simpsons trivia buff and enjoys a casual board game. The game is quick to learn and to start. There are enough challenges and questions to keep the game fresh and not repeat questions. It's fun with as little as two players and up to four. You are at liberty to adjust a few rules to your liking and still not ruin the game play, particularly to make shorter or longer games.
Finally, I must add one word of caution: THIS GAME IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR SIMPSONS FANS! If you never watch The Simpsons, this game is not for you. If you watch it every now and again when you happen to catch it on TV, this game is not for you. If you used to watch the show but haven't in a long time, it's not for you. This game is for die-hard fans who watch the show religiously, own the dvd sets, consistently recall the show, the jokes, and the quotes to themselves on almost a daily basis. If you LOVE LOVE LOVE The Simpsons and enjoy casual board games, you will really enjoy this game. You'll be pleased at the trivia you do recall while playing, and kicking yourself in the butt for not remembering things you thought you knew. This is a Simpsons game where you will feel very immersed in the Simpsons world and enjoy being there the whole time. If you are only a casual fan of The Simpsons, this game will be wasted on you. |

| This is exactly what you would expect from Scene It with an all Simpsons theme. This game and a partnership with the Television show make for a nice combination. For avid fans of the Simpsons, the game is a little easy so perhaps you might make a rule that you need to have the entire name of a character (even the obscure ones) to get the answer right. The game on the disc looks solid and crisp and it does NOT look like something that was just thrown together. If you like the Simpsons or are huge fans, you won't be disappointed buying this. |
Best Scene It ever!

I have played other Scene it, from the original to the one they made for Seinfeld (which is very good also)... and I always though why they have not made one for The Simpsons?
Well the wait is over and the result is great, the game is just like the others, video clips, trivia questions, etc.. normally the "name the character" and the video clip based questions are easy and if you are a big Simpsons' fan you'll know the answers right away... although some of the trivia questions are really hard, but eventually you will have fun learning more stuff about the Simpsons' background.
If you are a Simpsons fan like me, then this is a must have. |
Great for a simpson fan

I bought this on the gold deal about 2 weeks ago. I didnt get to use it until New Years Eve so the review took a little to get to. If you played SceneIt its identical to it with rules and everything. The game is real funny, and almost each time you get a myplay you at least get 2-3 if not a full room laughing at the scene.
It is almost heartbreaking though when your getting into the small clip and it ends. This is a great game for anyone who likes Simpsons, and even if you are a simpson trivia master it isn't to elementary where you will blow everyone out. |
