instructions. After this is done, the next player in sequence
(the player clockwise from the roller) gets their turn.

TRIVIA CARD CHALLENGES
When a player rolls a Trivia Card challenge, one of the
opposing players draws a card from the front of the box.
After the appropriate question has been read,
master selects Start Timer and the player must give the
correct answer before the timer reaches zero. The card
should be placed in the back of the box when finished.
Take Three TM Challenge
Players must identify an actor, actress, or movie
from three clues on the card.
Songs and Slogans Challenge
~
Players must answer a question associated with a
song, slogan, or tagline.
the DVD
If the card specifies"hold this card and make another player
losea turn when appropriate/' you may keep it until later.
These Buzz Cards can be played when it is not your turn, but
must be presented to another player before that player's
turn begins- not after that player has rolled the dice.
Player's Choice
Rolling this allows players to choose a DVD My
Play challenge, a Card challenge (any category) or
a Buzz Card.

WINNING THE GAME
When any player reaches the end of the game path, they
must stop on the space labeled Stop: All Play to Win,
no matter what they may have rolled. From this point,
they have two ways to win the game - the first is All Play
to Win; if that proves unsuccessful,the second option is
Final CutTM.
1. All Play to Win
Whenevera playerrestson the Stop: AllPlayto Win space,
they mustcompletean AllPlayto Win challenge.
The DVD master chooses AllPlay to Win from the Game
Menu and ALLPLAYERScompete in this special
All
Play.
If the rolling playerwins the challenge, that player
advances directly to the winner's circle and instantly WINS
THEGAME!
Pop Culture Challenge
~
Remember: The on-screentimer can be adjusted by
selecting Timer Settingsfrom the Main Menu, and then
choosing the countdown you want.
'--'
Playersmust answer a question related to movie
pop culture.
If the rolling player losesthe challenge,they moveto the
outer FinalCut ring (marked3) and mustawaittheir next
turn for another chance to win - this time by undertaking a
FinalCut challenge. Butfor now, the dice pass to the next
player in sequence.
If any other player wins the All Play to Win challenge, they
have the option of forcing an opponent to draw a Buzz Card
Page 4

or of moving their own game piece forward threespaces(unlessthey are already
on a FinalCut ring). After following the instructions on the BuzzCard, the next
player in sequence(the one following the roller) gets their turn.
Game Tip: BuzzCardscannot be played against playerson a FinalCut ring.
2. FinalCutTM
For any player that has landed on a Final Cut ring, the DVD master chooses Final
Cut from the Game Menu and follows the on-screen instructions. In Final Cut the
player must correctly answer up to three questions to win the game. The number
of questions that must be answered in a turn corresponds to the ring number
upon which the player's game piece stands. If the player misses a question, they
move in one ring and must await their next turn. Again, the on-screen instructions
will walk you through Final Cut, so don't worry!
A player must successfully complete a challenge to win the game. A player who
loses a challenge while on the Final Cut ring marked 1 does not advance inward.
They stay on 1 and must await their next turn.
OPTIONS
For Longer Games- Beforeplayers can move what they roll on the numbered
die, they must first successfully complete the challenge rolled on the category die;
otherwise they remain where they are.
Final CutTM-Trivia Card challenges can be used instead of on-screen
challenges to complete the Final Cut. If you prefer Trivia Cards, let the player
choose a category and remember to refer to the numbers on the Final Cut
rings to determine the number of questions that must be answered correctly to
win the game.
