  • What's the Line? #1
    Jan 21 2021

    The Retro Network presents a new game show called What's The Line? hosted by Jason. Contestants will be trying to guess famous quotes and lines from TV and Movie history as well as answering trivia questions.

    Two rounds determine the winner by the highest points total. In the Countdown round, players must identify famous lines and quotes from five categories: News/Talk/Sports, Comedy, Stay Tuned, Drama, and Movies. The players with the highest point totals from the Countdown round then get first crack at the Primetime round which features 10 categories. Each Primetime category has 4 trivia questions worth various point amounts. Players snake their way through the Primetime categories until each player has completed two and a winner is determined. The winner will then be invited back as returning champion on the next show against new players (as available.) Champions and players with high point averages will earn a spot during our end of season playoffs in Dec 2021 to win actual prizes!

    You can also watch this episode on YouTube featuring the What's the Line? game board and scorekeeper! Our first episode features all TRN staffers: Karen, Gary, Eric, Stacey, and Tim. Watch below as they compete to become the first What's The Line? champion!

    TRN Game Night returns with Situation Jukebox Episode 06, the improvisational music game that chooses songs in response to specific situations. Members of The Retro Network will be facing off and see if champion Eric can defend his gold record belt!

    Playing along in this podcast will be returning champion Eric (@Eric_Vardeman), Mickey (@yesterdayville), 2-time champion Stacey (@geeky_vixen), Tim (@oldschool80s) and Jason (@RD80s) who will also serve as host. Using cards from the Boombox game by Buffalo Games, each round will consist of a different situation in which all contestants will try to come up with the perfect song. After each choice is given, players vote for their favorite and the winner receives a point. Once a player reaches 3 points, they win the game! Our twist is, song choices all have to be at least 20 years old and cannot be used again once chosen. If there is a tie, players do another round of voting.

    We also do two bonus rounds at the end of the show for fun which each player is assigned an artist to use only their music catalog for a situation! You can also listen to all the song choices in the Situation Jukebox 006 Spotify playlist.
