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.

GAME RULES
Scene It? Seinfeld can be played with 2 to 4 players or teams, so divide up, grab your
popcorn, and enjoy the magic!
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? Seinfeld 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? Seinfeld 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.
OBJECT
Travel around the game board and be the first to enter the winner’s circle.

GETTING STARTED
You have two options for learning to play Scene It? Seinfeld:
1. Choose How to Play from the DVD’s Main Menu and watch the on-screen
demonstration.
2. Read the instructions below. Begin with SETUP for a complete description of the
game, or skip to PLAY THE GAME for the essentials.
N0947-0920
SETUP
1. Position the Flextime game board so that all players can
see the TV or monitor connected to your DVD player. The
board can be fully extended for longer games or folded
into a circle for shorter play.
2. Choose a game piece for each player or team and place it
on the start space.
3. Place the Buzz Cards on the Buzz space on the board.
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? Seinfeld 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 clip, use the SKIP, NEXT, or
FAST FORWARD buttons to quickly advance to the question.
6. Select Timer Settings from the Main Menu. You will 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 preset gameplay from the Main Menu and
select one of the preprogrammed sequences to guarantee no
repeats will occur.
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
preset gameplay.
7. Choose Play the Game from the Main Menu, and the
Game Menu will appear after a short intro.
PLAY THE GAME
1. All players roll the numbered die, re-rolling any ties.
The highest roller goes first and play proceeds clockwise
around the table.
2. Each turn, a player rolls both dice and moves the number
of spaces shown on the numbered die. After moving, the
player then attempts to successfully complete whichever
challenge was rolled on the category die (see below for
descriptions of challenges).
Note: Movers can share the same space on the board.

Player’s Choice
Game Tip: You always roll the numbered die and move
your game piece to start your turn. You roll again if you
win the challenge!
3. Reference Cards are provided for each player to allow easy
recognition of the Scene It? Seinfeld challenges.
DVD CHALLENGES
My Play Challenges
The DVD Master selects My Play from the DVD Game
Menu and ONLY THE ROLLING PLAYER/TEAM MAY ATTEMPT
TO ANSWER THE ON-SCREEN 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? Seinfeld 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 DVD Game
Menu. ALL PLAYERS GET TO COMPETE! The first player/team
to clearly shout out the correct answer to the on-screen
challenge wins.
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 Mover 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, tiebreakers 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.
answer before the timer reaches zero. The card should be
replaced in the back of the box when finished.
The Details – Select a Trivia Card and answer the
Seinfeld who, what, where, when and why question.
The Dialogue – Select a Trivia Card and answer the
Seinfeld dialogue question.
The Yada Yada Yada – Select a Trivia Card and
answer the question about Seinfeld and the real world.
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.
Player’s Choice
Rolling this allows players to choose a DVD
challenge (My Play), a Trivia Card challenge (any
category) or a Buzz card.
DOUBLE DIP SPACE
If you win any challenge while on a Double Dip space, move
twice the number of spaces shown on the die on your next
roll.
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.

SCENE IT? SEINFELD CHALLENGES
Depending on the symbol rolled on the category die, players
will have to complete different DVD or Trivia Card challenges:
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
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.
