Scene It Harry Potter - The Complete Cinematic Journey

Product Information

In 2022, Screenlife and Paramount revived Scene It? as now a streaming board game on TVs, computers, smartphones and tablets. Scene It? is an interactive film series created by Screenlife Games, in which players answer trivia questions about films or pop culture. The games were first developed to be played with questions read from trivia cards or viewed on a television from an included DVD or based on clips from movies, TV shows, music videos, sports and other popular culture phenomena. Scene It? was made available as a mobile game for iPhone, iPad, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii as well as two social network games on Facebook. The series was discontinued in 2012, after Paramount Pictures, who owned Screenlife Games after 2008, closed the studio. [1] The series was revived in 2022 by Imagination Games, with streaming functionality replacing DVDs. [2] History [ edit ] There was a period in the 2000s and early 2010s where board games got an upgrade; from traditional games like Clue to new games like Scene It?, board games everywhere were being issued with DVD tie-ins. With just the press of a button on your remote, you can use your tv to bring an immersive element to your standard gameplay. While DVD players are harder and harder to find nowadays, you can still use your favorite game consoles (should they have their disc drives) to be able to relive those precious moments from your childhood before companies like Apple and Microsoft took over your life.

Wizarding World questions - If you roll an orange triangle, you'll have to answer a question from a question card about the magical world as a whole. To enhance gameplay, they incorporated elements from other popular games like Concentration and Pictionary, creating unique play scenarios that challenged participants with movie-themed questions. For instance, Craig's youngest son, Austin, conceived the idea of using Concentration by displaying a spinning top on the screen, followed by an image of a gun after a few seconds, prompting players to guess the movie. These innovative additions were provided free of charge, incurring no additional expenses to Screen Life. A video game version of Scene It?, entitled Scene It?

House Points - If you roll a blue triangle, then you'll have to draw a House Points card (found on the game board) and follow its instructions after reading the card aloud. However, playing the game can be a bit of a trying experience. Many of the questions are simply too obscure. Perhaps they are aimed at the totally obsessed Potterphiles. Or maybe I am just too confident in my knowledge of things to admit that I'm not very good at this game. Either way, many of the questions are related to the names of actors who play minor roles, or about the slightest production details that only someone who is completely obsessed with everything Potter would have the slightest chance to know. Obviously, if the questions are too easy the game is no fun, but the same goes for when many of them are simply impossible.

First off, all of the traits of Scene It apply here, meaning it is a bit contrived to begin with, you'll need to be near a TV and DVD player, and someone needs to know how to navigate the DVDs.

The secret to their success, apart from the innovative DVD code, was their ability to secure licensing agreements with major studios and associated actors and writers. Through persuasive negotiations, Dave and Craig convinced these studios to reduce their licensing costs to a share of a small pool based on the game's gross revenue. To this day, "Scene It?" stands as the only product boasting logos from all five major studios, and a few years later a total of seven studios including: Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Columbia Pictures (owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment), Paramount Pictures Corporation, Walt Disney Pictures, and DreamWorks Pictures. These studios were among the most prominent and influential in the film industry at that time.

I was very excited to find this for sale because my girlfriend and I had been looking for it for quite some time in every store we entered.

My Play - My Play is the second DVD challenge that corresponds to the red triangle on the categories die.
