Setup: Divide players into two teams. Place the Blockbuster parking lot board in the centre, with the Blockbuster sign and electronic timer nearby.

Round 1 — Head-to-Head: One player from each team faces off in a buzzer battle. A category card is drawn (e.g. "Movies with a zombie in it" or "Famous trilogies"). Players take turns shouting out a movie that fits the category and hitting the buzzer. The first player who can't think of a movie within the time limit loses the round.

Round 2 — Triple Charades Jeopardy: The winning player from Round 1 draws six movie cards, keeps three and gives three to their opponent. Each player takes turns getting their team to guess their movies using three techniques: acting out the film, making up a quote from the movie, and describing the film with just one word.

Winning: Teams race to collect a film from every genre to win and be crowned the new Blockbuster champions!

Video Rental Giant: Blockbuster was a global chain of video rental stores that dominated the home entertainment landscape throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. At its peak in 2004, Blockbuster operated over 9,000 stores worldwide.

Cultural Icon: The iconic blue and yellow ticket stub logo became synonymous with movie nights and weekend entertainment. Families would visit their local Blockbuster to browse shelves of VHS tapes and DVDs, pick up popcorn and lollies, and enjoy the ritual of selecting films together.

Nostalgic Experience: This game pays homage to the nostalgic experience of Blockbuster, capturing the essence of the video rental era for a new generation while allowing those who remember the original stores to relive those memories through gameplay.

Last Store Standing: Today, only one Blockbuster store remains operational in Bend, Oregon, which has become something of a tourist attraction and symbol of a bygone era.

Round 1 Strategy: In the buzzer battle, think of broad categories first (action movies, comedies, etc.) then narrow down to specific subcategories. Don't panic if you're struggling — sometimes a wild guess can work!

Movie Selection: When choosing which movies to give your opponent, consider their age group and movie knowledge. Classic films might be harder for younger players, while newer movies could stump older players.

Acting Tips: For the charades round, focus on iconic scenes, memorable characters, or distinctive visual elements from the movie. Think about what makes each film unique and memorable.

Quote Creation: When making up quotes, use the movie's tone and style. Action movies need dramatic lines, comedies need funny moments, and horror films need suspenseful dialogue.

One-Word Descriptions: Choose words that are specific to the movie rather than generic terms. Think about the main character, setting, or central plot device that makes the film distinctive.
