This game came out when I was 3 or 4 years old. I’m now 27 and I still enjoy this game! I remember asking for it for Christmas and getting it. Probably the most anticipated board game I ever wanted
I find the screams of the characters from 13 dead end drive kind of crazy especially the boyfriend's scream when the chandelier was gonna fall on him, especially when he screams like this: "EEEYAAAAAH!" and just like that the chandelier hits his head real hard, no wonder they said the pun is "lights out."
Almost thirty years later and this is STILL my favorite board game of all time! I always loved how the characters looked, especially the hairdresser chewing the gum:):) The puppet people are so scary and awesome as they're bumped off!
Danny Lee I was going to say, as a boy I thought they were real people made up to look like the characters, But watching this now 25 years later in 2018, I recognized the chef as Spitting Image’s Luciano Pavarati puppet. I think either these are spitting image puppets or Fluck and Law recycled Spitting Image puppets for this ad. Heck the Fortune Teller looks kinda like their Cher Puppet.
I liked it when the cat puppet ran in while the kids are playing and looked around. I never noticed that until now. Never played this as a kid, but I got the anniversary edition a couple of years ago. For some really weird reason, the boyfriend reminds me of Ted Baxter from the old "Mary Tyler Moore" TV show.
The 90s were a special time when you played a board game where you literally killed other characters in horrific fashion. Not only kill them, but you get to trigger a physical trap. I still love this board game. I begged for this game for Christmas the year it came out. I got it for Christmas and still have it.
The fortune the characters are trying to inherit belonged to Aunt Agatha. She was “old” and he was her boyfriend. It’s to elude he was trying to woo her so he could marry her and steal her money. Good god almighty u can’t be that ignorant!
@@MaharlikaAWA “was”? U made that comment 8 months ago! U were a kid and now ur not? That’s what the word “was” implies in that sentence. Tell me where is the cut off point exactly? If u are a child then maybe u shouldn’t be commenting on social media. That’s why kids videos have the comment section disabled! Get off the damn internet!
Oh FINALLY I found this commercial. I could not for the life of me remember what this game was called and finally I duckduckgo searched for "board game about people dying in a mansion 90s" and found a list of 90s board games that included this. I remember seeing it as a kid and while puppets don't normally scare me, the face of the chef as he falls off the ladder has been seared into my memory. I wondered for a while if maybe it wasn't that bad looking and my kid!brain exaggerated it, but no, it really is horrifying. What the crap. On the other hand, now that I can look past the creepy puppets, the game itself actually looks fun??
I was talking with CHAT-GPT (PRETTY DUMB IDEA) and was talking about this commercial, I thought the chef was scared of a mouse and it was a restaurant. I did research on the commercial (The chandelier part) and I found a review of the game.
It's awesome, and actually there are three ways to win. Commercial mentions one. You can also win if you are the last one standing or if the detective reaches the door while your picture is in the frame.
You are a prime example of what happens when a person is sheltered. They are fictitious made up characters that u “bump off”. Only a soccer mom or a Karen would scream that this game is encouraging or promoting to “kill”. I played this game a LOT as a kid and had lots of fun doing it! I’m almost 39 and never had an urge to wanna kill or try to kill someone BECAUSE I’M NOT A PSYCHO! Games don’t make u kill. That’s like u saying a writer is awful and promoting violence for creating characters in a story to kill them off in murder mysteries or horror books. Same as in tv shows and movies. Get somewhere, sit down and shut up!
