Black Mirror’s ‘Nosedive’ episode gets board game treatment
Posted on 15th November 2018By Billy Langsworthy
Endemol Shine North America has teamed up with Asmodee North America to launch Nosedive, a board game based on an episode of Black Mirror.
The episode is set in a world where people can rate each other from one to five stars for almost every interaction they have, which then has a knock-on effect to their status in society.
In the board game of Nosedive, players are challenged to create a perfect life by collecting Lifestyle Cards, while avoiding any ‘dings’ to their Social Score.
Played along with the free Nosedive smartphone app, the game includes over 1,000 unique experiences to impress players’ important friends and improve their social standing.
‘Nosedive features light social and strategic gameplay that is engaging, interactive and accessible for new players,’ read a statement from Asmodee.
The game launches at Target.com and Target stores across the US from next week.
For a closer look at the episode which inspired the game, check out the clip below:
“When we learned so many were already using their Squishmallows as pillows, we knew we had to dream up and disrupt the home goods category by developing a branded pillow unlike any other,” said Laura Zebersky, President and Chief Commercial Officer, Jazwares.
“Brands that win in 2025 are those that understand this new consumer mindset – practical yet emotional, cautious yet indulgent,” said Anne Haine, European Head of Consumer Packaged Goods at Circana.
“We are thrilled to work with Timothy on this new pack and incorporate his fun and unique graphic style into Clixo,” said Assaf Eshet, Founder of Toyish Labs and creator of Clixo.
“We are proud the iconic Zombicide IP further strengthens our tabletop games portfolio and allows us to reinforce our presence in key geographies,” said Thomas Kœgler, CEO of Asmodee.
“Bringing the Straw Hat Pirates in LEGO brick form to fans worldwide has been a dream assignment”, said Yi-Chien Cheng, Associate Design Lead on LEGO One Piece.
