If any other player wins the all play to win challenge, they have the option of forcing
an opponent to draw a Buzz Card or of moving their own Mover forward three spaces
(unless they are already on a Final Cut ring). After following the instructions on the
Buzz Card, the next player in sequence (the one following the roller) gets their turn.
Game Tip: Buzz Cards cannot be played against players on a Final Cut ring.
2. Final Cut
For any player who 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 Mover 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.
13 – Adult
2 or more players or teams
GAME RULES
OPTIONS
For Longer Games
To make the game longer and more competitive, roll only the Numbered Die and
advance your Mover after getting a question right, rather than moving at the start of
each turn.
For Shorter Games
Fold the board into its smaller circle shape and be sure to roll the Numbered Die and
move before answering questions.
Party Play
Scene It? DVD challenges are a great way to entertain a party. Simply put the Scene It?
DVD into your DVD player and select party play from the Main Menu. You will not
need to use the remote, as Scene It? will play one great puzzler or clip after another.
See who can be the first to shout the correct answer! If you would like to go back
to regular game play, hit the RETURN button on your remote when the Game
Menu appears.
Scene It?® can be played with 2 to 4 players or teams.
OBJECT
Travel around the game board and be the first to enter the winner’s circle.

GETTING STARTED
Choose one of two options for learning to play Scene It?:
1. Watch the on-screen demonstration by inserting the DVD and selecting how to
play from the Scene It? Main Menu.
2. Read the instructions below. Begin with SETUP for a complete description of the
game, or skip to PLAYING THE GAME for the essentials.
K8817-0920
SETUP
1. Position all players so that they can see the TV or monitor
connected to the DVD player. Lay out the Flextime Game
Board. It can be fully extended for longer games, or folded
into a circle for shorter play.
2. Choose a Mover for each player and place it on the
Start space.
3. Place the round Buzz Cards on the Buzz circle. Place
the box of Trivia Cards and the dice beside the board.
Distribute a Category Reference Card to each player.
4. Insert the Scene It? DVD into your DVD player. The DVD
will show a quick intro and then display the Main Menu.
5. Select one person, referred to as the DVD Master, to
operate the remote control.
Use the ARROWS on your remote to navigate between
the menu items and use the ENTER or PLAY button
to activate a menu selection. When viewing a puzzler clip,
use the SKIP, NEXT, or FAST FORWARD buttons to quickly
advance to the question.
6. Select timer settings from the Main Menu. You can use
the on-screen timer when answering Trivia Card questions.
The timer is preset at 30 seconds but may be set at 10 or
20 seconds to make the game more challenging. Select the
time limit you want. This will remain the default unless you
choose to reset the timer during the game by accessing the
Main Menu once again.
Technical Tip: Your DVD is automatically set to deliver
questions at random. Because of this, you may eventually get
repeats. Choose pre-set gameplay from the Main Menu and
select one of the preprogrammed sequences to guarantee no
repeats will occur.
Main Menu
Note: Some DVD players do not support the random shuffle
feature provided by Optreve® technology (a window will appear
to warn you of this). In that situation, you should also choose
pre-set gameplay.
7. Choose Play the Game from the Main Menu, and the
Game Menu will appear.
PLAY THE GAME
1. All players roll the numbered die, re-rolling any ties. The
highest roller goes first and play proceeds clockwise.
2. Each turn, a player rolls both dice and moves the number
of spaces shown on the Numbered Die.
Note: Movers can share the same space on the board. After
moving, the player then attempts to successfully complete
whichever challenge was rolled on the Category Die (See next
section for a description of the challenges).
Game Tip: You always roll both dice and move your game piece
to start your turn. If you win the challenge, you roll both dice
again and take another turn!
3. Reference Cards are provided for each player to allow easy
recognition of the Scene It? challenges.

THE SCENE IT? CHALLENGES
Depending on the symbol rolled on the Category Die, players
will have to complete different DVD or Trivia Card challenges:
DVD CHALLENGES
My Play Challenges
The DVD Master selects my play from the on-screen
Game Menu, and a my play challenge will follow. ONLY THE
ROLLING PLAYER/TEAM MAY ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE ONSCREEN CHALLENGE. If the roller answers correctly, they get
another turn and roll both dice again. If they answer incorrectly,
the turn ends, and play proceeds clockwise to the next player.
Game Tip: If you play Scene It? many times, you may eventually
start seeing the same clips over again. Don’t worry! Each clip has
multiple questions associated with it. So pay attention; you never
know what you will be asked about your favorite scenes and
characters!
All Play Challenges
The DVD Master selects All Play from the onscreen Game
Menu. All players should watch the challenge that follows and
attempt to be the first to clearly shout the correct answer.
If the rolling player is first to answer correctly, they roll both
dice and take another turn.
If a player other than the roller answers correctly, that player
chooses either to move their game piece forward one space
or to force another player to draw a Buzz Card and follow
its instructions. After this is done, the next player (the player
clockwise from the roller) takes their turn.
Note: Players are never skipped as the result of an all play
challenge—play always proceeds sequentially around the table,
even when someone out of sequence correctly answers the
question.
If two players simultaneously answer correctly, tie breakers® is
selected from the Game Menu.
If no one answers correctly, play proceeds to the next player
in turn.
1) Clips can be skipped by using the SKIP or FAST
FORWARD button on the remote.
2) If you receive an all play that you have seen in a previous
game, just hit the RETURN button on your remote and
another all play challenge will appear.
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, the DVD Master
selects start timer and the player must give the correct answer
before the timer reaches zero. The card should be replaced in
the back of the box when finished.
take three – Select a Trivia Card and identify the actor,
actress, or movie based on the 3 clues provided.
songs, slogans and sayings – Select a Trivia Card
and answer the soundtrack/slogan question.
pop culture – Select a Trivia Card and answer the pop
culture trivia question.
Remember: The on-screen timer can be adjusted by selecting
timer settings from the Main Menu and choosing the
countdown you want.
BUZZ CARDS AND PLAYER’S CHOICE
Buzz Cards
Depending on the Buzz Card you get, you or an
opponent may move ahead or be knocked back spaces on
the game board. A player must read the Buzz Card aloud
and follow the instructions on the card as soon as it is drawn.
Then, it’s the next player’s turn.
You may keep a Buzz Card until later in the game if the card
reads, “Hold this card and make another player lose a turn at
an opportune time.” 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 my play
DVD challenge, a Trivia Card challenge (any category),
or a Buzz Card.
DOUBLE FEATURE SPACE
If a player wins any challenge while on a Double Feature
space, on their next roll, they move twice the number of
spaces shown on the Numbered Die.
WINNING THE GAME
When any player reaches the end of the game path, they must
stop on the space labeled Stop, no matter what they may
have rolled. From this point, they have two ways to win the
game: the first is an all play to win challenge; if that proves
unsuccessful, the second option is final cut®.
1. All Play to Win
Whenever a player rests on the Stop space, they must complete
an all play to win challenge. The DVD Master chooses all play
to win from the Game Menu and all players compete in this
special variation of all play.
If the rolling player wins the challenge, that player advances
directly to the winner’s circle and instantly wins the game!
If the rolling player loses the challenge, they move to the
outer Final Cut ring (marked 3) and must await their next
turn for another chance to win—this time by undertaking an
on-screen final cut challenge. But for now, the dice pass to
the next player.
