The Limited-Edition Board Game Draws on South African TV, Sport, and Pop Culture from 1995 to Today
DStv is turning back the clock and celebrating 30 years of bringing joy to South African households with a special edition of the iconic board game *30 Seconds*. This limited-edition game transforms three decades of entertainment, sports, and pop culture into a fast-paced, laughter-filled game night.
Imagine diving into a treasure trove of nostalgia as you flip through 240 custom-made cards, each featuring 10 clues that will whisk you down memory lane. From unforgettable TV shows and blockbuster movies to legendary sports victories and beloved cultural moments, this game is a celebration of everything that has made DStv a staple in South African homes.
The clues are as diverse as the country itself, covering everything from the Springbok rugby team’s triumphant World Cup victories to fan-favourite series like *The River*, *Idols SA*, *Binnelanders*, and *Isibaya*. Each card is a delightful reminder of the stories that have shaped the local TV landscape, including nods to the broader MultiChoice family of brands.
Willington Ngwepe, CEO of MultiChoice, captured the essence of this celebration perfectly: “For 30 years, DStv has been part of how South Africans relax, argue about sport, discover new shows, and spend time together. This game is a fun way to celebrate that shared history. It takes all those moments people still talk about, from big sporting wins to unforgettable TV, and turns them into something you can enjoy around a table with friends and family.”
What makes this edition even more special? The game has strong South African roots. *30 Seconds* was created by Calie Esterhuyse in the late 1990s during a holiday with family and friends and has since become one of the country’s most beloved board games. For this DStv edition, Esterhuyse collaborated with Calco Games to customize the content, ensuring that every detail resonates with local culture. Plus, the game is proudly manufactured in Cape Town.
The limited-edition DStv *30 Seconds* board game is not available for purchase. Instead, it can only be won through DStv Rewards on the MyDStv app, where subscribers can spin the wheel for a chance to snag a copy as part of the merchandise giveaways.
So, gather your friends and family, download the MyDStv app, and get ready for an entertaining trip down memory lane. After all, nothing brings people together like a little bit of friendly competition and a whole lot of laughter!
