Christmas Gift Idea for Men
I grew up with The Simpsons, in fact, when the first episode aired, I was in grade 4 just like Bart. I had a really strong connection with Bart “Don’t have a Cow Man” and “Cowabunga” really meant something to me. What 10 year old didn’t get Bart’s rebellion? As the show continued on for years (and years and years), it continued to appeal to my generation. Slowly, as we got older the focus left Bart and become Homer, because the generation watching The Simpsons were getting older (Ah,,, that’s me, and I am about to turn the BIG 3-0)
When we had the opportunity to review the new Simpsons Scene it? game, I must say my husband and I were pretty pumped. The Simpsons were on every day at 5 o’clock on CBC, so needless to say we watched every episode at least 100 times.
We’d played other Scene it? games so we knew what to expect, a great mix of questions on our television and cards. The Scene it? questions include clips, trivia questions and puzzlers like crosswords, each are introduced with a different Simpson scene. Although we have watched the show over and over again for 20 years (OMG – I am so old), the questions were really tough. There are so many characters that we have met on the Simpsons, it’s hard to remember all their names, and put them into certain contexts.
My husband and I did have a lot of fun playing. Despite a lot of the hard questions that we did not know, there were lots of questions that were hard and we did know. The Simpsons Scene it? Edition really got our brains thinking. We had lots of laughs and talked about old episodes. It is really quite amazing how much of the Simpsons are engraved into our brains.
Whether or not you are a huge Simpsons fan, everyone will have fun playing this game. If your brain doesn’t seem to retain useless information, not to worry there are questions that can be answered just by watching the video clips, and uses memory, and observation to answer different questions so everyone can be on the same playing field.
The Simpsons Scene it? game is also great just to have playing in the back ground during a party. There is a party feature on the DVD that will continually play trivia questions, and puzzlers over and over again without having to be restarted.
