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:

1. Pop in the DVD and watch the

on-screen demonstration under

How To Play on the game DVD.

2. Read these instructions. Begin

with SETUP for a complete
description of the game, or skip
to PLAYING THE GAME for the
essentials.

Technical Tip:

Your DVD is automatically set to deliver
questions at random. However, 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 choose Preset Gameplay
and select one of the pre-programmed
sequences to guarantee no repeats will
occur during a game.

ties. The highest roller goes first,
and play proceeds clockwise.

DVD Challenges

My Play Challenges

from the on-screen Game Menu, and
a My Play challenge will follow.
ONLY THE ROLLING PLAYER/TEAM
MAY ATTEMPT TO ANSWER THE
ON-SCREEN CHALLENGE. If the roller

and continue their turn until answering
incorrectly. If they answer incorrectly, play
proceeds clockwise to the next player.

Game Menu. ALL PLAYERS

If the rolling player is first to answer
correctly, they take another turn.

If another player answers correctly, that
player chooses either to move their
Token forward one space or to force
another player to draw a Buzz Card (see
next section). Then the player clockwise
from the roller takes their turn.

Game Tip: If you play Scene It? many times,

you may even tually start seeing the same
clips over again. Don’t worry! Each clip has
multiple questions associated with it. So pay
attention, because you never know what you
will be asked!

Note: Players are never skipped as the result

of an All Play challenge—play always proceeds
sequentially around the table.

If two players simultaneously answer
an All Play correctly, Tie Breakers

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.

Some Buzz Cards may be kept and
can be played later in the game. These
Buzz Cards can only be used before the
intended recipient’s turn begins—not
after they have rolled the dice.

Player’s Choice

Rolling this allows the player to
choose any category that appears

on the Category Die.

Trivia Challenges

When a player rolls a Trivia Card
challenge, one of the opposing players
draws a card from the front of the box.

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. The

numbers on the Final Cut rings correspond to the number of challenges required
to win the game. Players start on the outermost ring (marked 3) and attempt to
complete three challenges. If they successfully complete the challenges, they win
the game! If they do not complete all three challenges correctly, they move in
one ring and await their next turn for another chance to win.

If a player loses a challenge while on the last Final Cut ring, they will remain on

1 until they answer correctly or the game ends.

Note: Players/teams in the Final Cut ring are immune to Buzz cards.
