A board game based on a popular TV show has been released by a Southampton-based company.
Fans of The Repair Shop can now enjoy a piece of the show, which is filmed at The Weald & Downland Museum in Chichester, in the form of a new board game and jigsaw puzzle.
The game was created by Rachel Lowe in partnership with Southampton-based media agency TVADSWORK.
Rachel, who began her career as a taxi driver in Portsmouth, has previously taken her creations to Dragon's Den and has since seen great success.
Her Destination brand now offers over 50 variations of games and puzzles, including some based on local areas like Southampton.
The new game, Destination The Repair Shop, has been launched in collaboration with TVADSWORK, who will be running a national TV advertising and marketing campaign.
Ms Lowe said: "I am so excited about the launch of Destination The Repair Shop, it’s been so much fun developing it and everyone involved, including the production company Ricochet Productions and programme owners Warner Bros, International Television Production, have been so engaged and supportive. Collaborating with the team at TVADSWORK has been amazing and I am looking forward to continuing to work with them on future projects.
Speaking on behalf of Warner Bros. International Television Production, David Rodrigues, senior commercial executive said: "It has been such a rewarding experience working with the creatives at Ricochet Productions and everybody at Rachel Lowe Games & Puzzles and TVADSWORK, to ensure the values of The Repair Shop are at the very heart of these products.
"By bringing these talented teams together, we’ve created an experience that truly reflects the craftsmanship, warmth and emotional connection that make the brand so special."
Players of the game, dubbed 'Guardians of Heirlooms', travel in their own Repair Shop van around the board, collecting precious items to deliver back to The Repair Shop barn.
The player with the most Repair Shop stars at the end of the game wins.
