Woot, found the trivia board game at my Walgreens and bought it today! Looks pretty fun. And also confusing, but maybe I just don’t play board games very much.
Jamnicity — too funny! Our little Dunder Mifflinites! While driving in the car, he’ll often repeat lines, but in his own little language. “Dunder Miffin, dis is Quinn” or “You hearned three Schrute Bucks!” No one else has any clue as to what he’s talking about… :)
I just ordered the game!
Aww, little office fans. :)
I have to wait til Christmas to get my DVD game. Boo.
I’ve had the DVD game for a while but I still haven’t played it yet. None of my roommates will play it with me because they know I’ll win.
So I have to wait for a fellow Office-obsessed friend to come visit me next weekend.
#46 Pam’s BFF–
OK, a little off topic here, but I love that your 3 year old is so into The Office. My almost 2 year old son loves to watch Jam vids on YouTube with me, so maybe by this time next year he’ll be the mega fan that your little one is. Here’s hoping! :-)
I agree with Jamnicity (37); if you’re going to buy one, I’d chose the board game. The DVD is pretty easy for hard-core Tallyheads…my three-year-old son loves playing it! He dances to the music and it’s his favorite thing in the world to play. He calls it “Schrute Bucks” and we even use it as a reward. If he’s not behaving, I say “No, stop (fill in blank) or you can’t play Schrute Bucks later!” He thinks anything Office-related is Schrute Bucks, actually. He’ll point to my Season 4 DVD and say, “Mommy’s Schrute Bucks!”
We bought the Trivia Board game because it can have more players than the DVD game, which was a big deal to us. We LOVE it! The best thing is that every card has two levels of questions (Regional Manager and Assistant to the Regional Manager). That way, even people who aren’t as obsessive about the Office can feel like they can compete with their friends. We’ve had a blast playing the whole game through several times.
i watched that entire thing.
I have to say I didn’t like the DVD game. It wasn’t challenging enough, and was rather slow. The DVD took way too long to load between questions and scenes, making it almost boring (gasp!). I know one of the DVD questions was wrong too, so I wrote the NBC about it. I thought it would be more like SceneIt games, but it falls way short of that. (I love the Harry Potter SceneIt - it’s fast and furious!) I wish I had gotten the more challenging board game :(.
Hey Cher is Bonto, what do you mean by history questions?
How many Scrute bucks do you start the game with?
I hear ya, #38 and 39, about trying to find someone to play the game with you. It’s hard when all challengers assume they’re heading for defeat. The nice thing about the board game is that the question cards have two different levels of difficulty. My husband watches the show with me every week, but he is in no way the rabid fan that I am. So, he gets the easier questions and I get the harder ones, and that really leveled the playing field. In fact, the first time we played he won.
tuna^3! I am having the same problem! No one wants to play anyone that has the unfair advantage.
Perhaps I’ll buy the game and try Dwight’s tactic: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Do it! Now!
thanks #37, i played the demo and thought all the questions were quite easy. i did love the toby narration and all but, i want to be challenged. now the real question is, could i ever get anyone to play it with me?
I have both the DVD and the board game and have now played both. Gotta say, I prefer the board game. The DVD game has its fun elements–the Toby narration, clips, and the tasks where you have to run around and assemble an office olympics medal, or some such. But, I found the DVD questions to be too easy. In the game we played there was only one question that had me puzzled for a few minutes. Also, I didn’t like that the DVD game only went through season 3. I’ve played the board game a few times, and love it! The questions are challenging, and it goes all the way through season 4. I love the “support the rabid” bracelet, which you must have to win, and the “That’s What She Said” tokens add a fun element. If you’re trying to decide between the two, and you know an obscene amount about The Office, then I’d go with the board game.
[from tanster: great review. thanks for posting!]
Paul Lieberstein!!
“Schrute Bucks are illegal in many countries. Including this one.” HA! Oh, Toby, you might have gotten back on my good side with that line.
I love the music!
I like the DVD Game better, since it doesn’t ask “Office” related questions all the time. Some of them are pretty challenging such as some history questions, which keeps it interesting. And how can you deny the voice of Toby…
The DVD game is 100% dawesome!
