What’s your all-time favorite Seinfeld scene? Remember Jerry’s puffy shirt, Elaine’s infamous dance moves, George’s launch of Vandelay Industries or Kramer’s encounter with Keith Hernandez? The new Scene It?® Seinfeld DVD game will launch this fall and includes the most memorable moments from the long-running “show about nothing.” It challenges players to answer trivia questions about the series as they race around the board to win. Mattel, Inc. has teamed up with Screenlife, LLC, and Warner Bros. Consumer Products to create an entertaining gaming experience that will determine the ultimate Seinfeld fan.
The Scene It?® Seinfeld DVD game includes hundreds of clips featuring memorable scenes and a myriad of images, stars and trivia challenges from all nine seasons of the hit sitcom. Card-based questions come in three categories, named after the style of different Seinfeld episodes, including “The Details,” focused on the who, what, when, where and why of Seinfeld; "The Dialogue," asking questions about who said what; and “The Yada Yada Yada," featuring pop culture-related questions about episodes and cast members.
“The Scene It? Seinfeld DVD game offers players the chance to enjoy their favorite moments with Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer and the gang while also adding the excitement of engaging, competitive game play,” said Cynthia Neiman, vice president of marketing, Mattel Games. “Scene It? Seinfeld offers a terrific game experience for everyone, whether you are a dedicated fan or a casual viewer of the show.”
“Warner Bros. Consumer Products has a long-standing history of partnering with Mattel for some of our most popular properties, and the Scene It? Seinfeld game is no exception,” said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President of Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing for Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We’re excited that, for the first time, fans will have the opportunity to re-live their favorite moments from the show through the Scene It? gaming experience.”
Scene It?® Seinfeld is the latest product in a line of popular entertainment-themed DVD-based products, including Scene It?® Movie 2nd Edition and Scene It?® Harry Potter™ 2nd Edition. The proprietary Optreve® technology, exclusive to Scene It?® games, randomizes Seinfeld clips for a different version of the game every time. Additionally, the Flextime® game board allows time-constrained friends and families to play a quick game on the fly or opt to unfold the game board for a longer, more complete experience. With the introduction of the new Scene It?® Seinfeld DVD Game this fall, Mattel gives fans an entirely new way to re-live the fun, hilarious adventures of the Seinfeld gang.
