A Dazzling Twilight Experience
From the game pieces to the trivia cards, every aspect of Twilight Scene It? has been infused with the spirit of Twilight. The game begins with players choosing one of four collectible tokens to represent their team. Sculpted out of metal, these tokens have been modeled after some of Twilight's most iconic items: Charlie's house, a baseball, Bella's truck, and Edward's piano.

Teams advance around the board by answering two types of questions: traditional trivia cards and DVD-based puzzles. The trivia cards, which resemble what you might find in Trivial Pursuit, provide questions in a wide range of difficulty. Some of the tougher questions are challenging enough to stump even the most devoted Twilight fans. Players can also strategically use special "Fate Cards" to throw their opponents off course.

The main attraction, however, is the interactive DVD. Hosted by Dr. Carlisle Cullen (played by Peter Facinelli), it is filled with hundreds of video clips, sound bites, and images from the movie. When players draw a DVD challenge card, they must solve a video puzzle. These puzzles range from memory games to message decryptions, and will put your knowledge of Twilight to the test.

Fun for Every Level of Twilight Fan
The DVD has been designed with the fans in mind. Everything about it has been adapted from the film, right down to the gothic font used for the menus. You'll see cameos by your favorite characters and relive classic moments from the film. Also included are several mini-games, so you can get a quick Twilight fix even when you're not playing the board game.

With hundreds of questions, Twilight Scene It? has something for every type of Twilight fan. The difficulty is varied enough to keep everyone engaged -- from Twilight die-hards to casual fans. Also, some of the video puzzles are completely self-contained, so even non-fans can participate in the game.

What's in the Box
DVD, game board, 4 collectible metal tokens, 100 trivia cards, 30 Fate cards, 1 six-sided numbered die, 1 eight-sided category die, 4 category reference cards, and instruction sheet.

Loved Scene It? Twilight Deluxe Edition!
 
Review Date: October 13, 2009
Reviewer: A. Bernard,
The newly released Scene It? Twilight Deluxe Edition DVD game came out on October 1st, and here's a review from a Twilight fan for Twilight fans.

First of all, if you're unfamiliar with the Scene It? game series, you should get familiar because they're incredibly fun.

The games combine the traditional realm of board games with DVD play in a way that isn't too confusing or distracting but is, instead, modern and interactive.

The Twilight version of Scene It? is catered to the 2008 film, and it incorporates clips and subtleties contained in the film - be it dialogue, scenery, or other various detail.

The game contains several of such particularized elements. For instance, the playing pieces are the shape of things like a baseball and Charlie's house. Also, the questions are orchestrated to be befitting of the most ardent and taxingly knowledgeable of Twilight fans. For instance, one question card (of hundreds) contains the following three questions (see if you can answer the questions without looking them up).

* Where does Edward say he was when the van almost hit Bella?
* What kind of sandwich does Bella have in the cafe with Charlie?
* What is the name of Bella's stepfather?

Okay, so not impossible questions necessarily but certainly fun.

As for the DVD game features, there is quite a variety (that would take hours upon end to discover the full extent of). As a sample preview, some screenshots of the game at play are included in the slideshow below. The DVD questions, too, are narrated by the one and only Peter Facinelli (Dr. Cullen in the film series).

Other aspects of gameplay run similar to the more traditional versions of Scene It? (like Scene It? The DVD Game) in that the object is substantially similar and the methods of winning and movement are the same. For those less familiar with the Scene It? series, the gist of the game is to make it to the end of the board (which happens to actually be the middle of the board) and to answer the final trivia question (or set of trivia questions, dependant on how savvy and versed you happen to be on the film's subtleties) to win.

The best part of the game is the way it has transformed Twilight (the film) while still retaining the mystical and romantic elements. You'll notice, when playing, that some of the very small - but ultra relevant to fans - portions of the game are brought to a whole new light. For instance, one question (or challenge, rather) that the DVD portion of the game offers is a "keep your eye on the ball" challenge - a play, you might've guessed, on the baseball scene. Accompanying the challenge is the music that accompanied the baseball scene in the film. Thusly, the feel and magic of the film scene is transcendant into the game itself.

The Twilight Scene It? game is also very fun to play between Twilight fans who claim to have the one-up on one another in the way of trivia knowledge. There's always something to be learned, and this game certainly raises that awareness.

The best part of the game is the absolute wealth of available questions and challenges. You might think that a two hour movie would yield limited possibilities, but the people at Scene It? definitely took the film to all new heights in putting together this game. As said, it'd probably take many, many hours to get through the thousands of questions and challenges in the game - both in the DVD form and the card question form.

As a final comment on the game, the challenges offered in it are not pandering or overly simplified. It is clear that the creators were aware, in making the game, that players would be the most acclaimed afficionados of the series. That said, it is fun for Twilight experts as well as first-time Twilight fans!
Best Gift Ever!

Reviewer: L. Daniels,
Talk about the best gift for a Twilight fan! I bought it for a friend who was so happy with it - and still is. With actual scenes from the movie, entertaining trivia, fun games and more, it was a no-brainer choice for the biggest Twilight fan I know. Plenty of screen-time for Edward, which is always appreciated :) Perfect for a Twilight-themed party or just a night at home with friends.
Great fun for the Twilighters!

Awesome game with lots of fun trivia. Believe it or not, there are some challenging questions that even "Twihards" have some trouble with. We played this game at a pre-release "New Moon" party and had a great time. A must-have for all Twilight fans!
Twilight SceneIt? is great

Reviewer: Donna M. Foster, Pennsylvania, USA
I am a huge Twilight fan, so when I saw this game, I had to have it. I was surprised that the narration is done by Dr Carlisle Cullen, plus there's a trailer for New Moon on the DVD. The mini games are a lot of fun, and the clips and questions are the best! My family & I had a lot of fun playing this game, & I would recommend it to any Twihard looking for a great family game!
Twilight Scene It Sure To Be Hot Christmas Toy

Reviewer: Ulana Illiano, Mineola, NY
I recently purchased the Scene It? Twilight Deluxe Edition Game. It is a lot of fun for any Twilight fanatic. The game is a series of clips from the Twilight movie that must be identified and players will answer questions about the clips. Great fun! I personally love all movie and books and am looking for to the release of the New Moon movie. This game would be perfect under the tree for any Edward Cullen lover or Twilight fan. I would imagine that these will become scarce as the holidays approach!
Great Gift for Twilight Fans!

We have had hours of fun with this game. Easy to figure out this game. We have played it three times and haven't seen the same questions. Truly a game for the Twilight fans. Alot of fun and great for parties.
NOT EASY!!!!

Reviewer: Janett Smith, Fort Bragg, North Carolina USA
For anyone who says that this game is easy, then they obviously dont like twilight to begin with. (or they haven't played the entire game) This game does have some easy answers, but not all of them are easy. I'm a twilight freak. I've read through the books 4 times each, and even i found it sorta hard. It follows normal scene it game play, and it comes with cool party activities! If you are thinking about getting a special someone something twilight related, get this item! It's GREAT for twilight fans! (And if you wanna throw a party too!)
Granddaughters love it and they love you for getting it for them!!
 
Review Date: January 7, 2010
Reviewer: Sharon S. Stiles, Pahrump, NV
I bought this game for my Granddaughters for Christmas. They love all things 'Twilight". It was the perfect gift for a couple of 'tweens'. I was told by the Girls' Mom and Dad that the game was their favorite present. Good job, Amazon, for the reasonable price and availability of the game. I went on Amazon to get the board game because that's the one I saw in the stores and they were expensive. But YOU had the Scene It game and it was less... You have made a believer out of me. Thank you, Sharon
Fun and challenging

Reviewer: April Y. Shin,
It's absolutely fun!!! The questions that they ask really made me think and how I need to pay attention to the details in the movie. There are things that I knew that totally forgot until I read the questions. I wanted to buy something that was related to Twilight and was fun. I enjoyed this very much!!!
A great excuse to watch the movie again!

This game makes you think and pay way more attention to the movie. I would say that it made the movie more enjoyable to watch again and again. This is definitely a great gift for a fan of the Twilight series.
a lot of fun!

My daughter loves this game! This game is perfect for when she has someone spend the night... they play it over and over. My husband and I even played the game with her and we had a good time, too.
