University Games’ new Rocky Horror Show Game is available now, in time for Halloween and the holiday shopping season.

University Games’ new Rocky Horror Show Game is an experiential new party game that is set to hit store shelves across the US this year in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the cult-classic show.

Players choose a favourite character and try to escape the castle to win the game. Along the way, they will rock to song lyrics, hear familiar lines and perform the Time Warp (again) as they build alliances and navigate the lab. The winner is the first player to make it to the wedding on time.

A musical with music, lyrics and book by Richard O’Brien, the Rocky Horror Show tells the story of Brad and his fiancée Janet, whose car breaks down outside a creepy mansion. There, they meet the charismatic Dr Frank’n’Furter and embark on an adventure they’ll never forget. The stage show features timeless classics including Sweet Transvestite, Damn it Janet and the pelvic-thrusting, show-stopping Time Warp.

Audience participation is a key part of the show and started in the 1970s in the USA with the movie version, soon translating to the live stage show as fans dress up, shout back lines and sing along.

Craig Hendrickson, SVP Product Development at University Games, said: “Board game players, as well as the dedicated fanbase of The Rocky Horror Show, are certain to embrace this new game. We had a lot of fun bringing the storyline and all of the silly antics of the show into a board game format.”
