We are Kevin Trabucco and Bob O'Leary, two friends from New York who had an idea for a tabletop board game and decided to make it reality.
Rock and Roll lovers, musicians, and lifelong metal heads, we have music in our DNA. We took on this trivia game making process with determination to make the best game possible. We designed the game board, cards, and packaging ourselves, produced our own prototypes and play tested extensively to ensure the best playing experience. Our love for music, competitiveness for trivia, and artistic creativity are reflected in this game and we’re sure that you're going to have a lot of fun playing it.
We want to thank all of the amazing people who have believed in us, supported us, and come along for the ride. You can click the link below to check us out on Facebook and view all of our photos, videos and upcoming events!
Have you ever heard a song and struggled to remember the band or artist? It's happened to all of us, and this is the inspiration for our music trivia tabletop board game WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? Rock Show Edition
You know who it is, but you just can't come up with a name. This trivia game combines that feeling with the experience of fighting your way to the front row of a rock concert venue.
Test your music memory and Rock and Roll all night with the exciting new trivia board game, WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? Rock Show Edition from Gorilla Grip Games.
This first edition of WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? includes the tabletop game board, 6 player pawns, 2 dice, game rules, and 180 music trivia Band Cards, all in the Rock genre. We plan to offer 180 card expansion decks in Country, Pop, Hip Hop, and others so when you want to expand to other genres, you won't have to buy another game, just packs of 180 trivia Band Cards.
Test your Rock Music trivia knowledge by correctly answering and collecting 10 Band Cards as you make you way through the concert venue game board. But pitfalls along the way could change the game and make you late for the show. Whether it’s an emergency trip to the Restroom, stuck in line cuz you need that sweet tour shirt, or meeting fellow rockers at the Bar, WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? has surprises at every turn. The first player to navigate through the venue, survive the Mosh Pit, and make it to the Front Row with 10 Band Cards wins!
CRANK IT UP! Here’s a taste of our new advertising jingle. Stay tuned for a new commercial where you’ll be able to hear the complete recording.
Special thanks to Dan Conti for his amazing talent on guitar and bass and for his help with the arrangement and recording. Thanks to John Valenti for his skills recording vocals, Daniel Flynn for belting out a killer vocal track, and Kevin Trabucco on drums.
We all remember the classic tabletop board games we grew up playing, and the memories of family and friends gathering around the table for game night. There’s something about those old games that resonates with us as adults. Maybe it’s the retro feel of the artwork, or the simple play style of roll and move (rolling the dice and moving around a game board maze). These classic games will always have a nostalgic place in our hearts, but have become less interesting over the years. The inherent luck of roll and move games became boring as the game market grew and newer mechanisms became available.
We want to bring back that retro, game night feel, while also bringing the board game playing experience to another level. WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? revives the classic mechanism of roll and move, but incorporates additional mechanics that make gameplay much more complicated and competitive. These mechanisms include a complex game board with specific paths that introduce choices for players to make for themselves and others along the way. A player cannot win by simply rolling the dice and getting lucky. They must follow directions on board spaces which present different outcomes for themselves and other players. Perhaps the most important mechanism is the use of music trivia Band Cards with bonus answers for different results. A player cannot win without correctly answering music trivia questions and earning 10 Band Cards. There are ample opportunities to steal from other players and even send players to troublesome spots on the board in order to put yourself ahead in the game. WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY FROM? combines the luck of roll and move mechanics, the skill and knowledge of music trivia, and the competitiveness of racing to the front row of a concert venue, into a seriously fun Rock and Roll based board game that we know all music and game lovers will enjoy.
