The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Teams of contestants and celebrities try to guess words or phrases with as few letter clues as possible. The game rewards quick thinking and fast drawing.

What happens
PDQ and Baffle are American television game shows created by Heatter-Quigley Productions. Both shows' objective was for contestant/celebrity teams to guess a given word or phrase in the shortest amount of time with the fewest letters given as possible. PDQ, syndicated by Four Star Television, aired from September 6, 1965, to September 26, 1969, primarily on NBC-owned-and-operated stations but syndicated in markets where NBC did not own a station. PDQ was named after its original sponsor, PDQ Chocolate, a flavored drink mix. The show and product shared logos, although on the show the initials stood for "Please Draw Quickly". Baffle was a revival that aired on NBC from March 26, 1973, to March 29, 1974, without a specific sponsor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
