Hasbro Family Game Night 3
About the Game
Hasbro Family Game Night 3 is the third installment in the board game-to-video game franchise by Hasbro and EA. All of the games are more or less true to their board game counterpart, usually having some added mini games or interactive parts not found in the originals.
Story & Setting
Interviewing people will slowly reveal a picture which gives a clue of either a weapon or a room in which the murder takes place. This version is very different from the Original mode game in that the game takes place on a totally different game board.
Gameplay & Core Systems
All games can be played in either the Original version or a game mode called Remix, which adds new rules, switches gameplay mechanics, or simply makes it into more or less a new game entirely. The game hub is an amusement park, where all the games are seen as rides or buildings and where the players pick which game they want to play. Clue/Cluedo : In this classic whodunnit game the players are cast as detectives who are all out to solve a murder by figuring out who did it, with what weapon and where it happened. In order to find out all of these things the players have to gather rumor points strewn across the mansion or by interviewing the guests of the house. One is a simple timing game where players have to line up a brush by three finger prints, the second is a hidden object game where players try to find six specific weapons in a dark screen.
Standout Features
- There is also the option of changing outfits for Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (who can be seen wandering around the park).
- Getting rumor points can trigger a random mini game which come in three kinds.
- By adding up enough rumor points, players can start a rumor and guess who, with what and where.
- When players have figured out all of the essentials, (s)he can go to the pool room in the middle of the mansion and line up the evidence gathered.
- This version is turned based and each player (and computer) gets their turn to chance their hand around until they can lay hands on the points.
- Remix: In the Remix mode, however, the game is real-time and while everyone still gets their turn, there is a ticking clock and anyone can show a hand at any time.
- In this digital version you are required to play a mini game in order to see how many pieces of the trap you can add (a minimum of one and a maximum of three).
- Pipe Dream: The mini game is a version of the classic game Pipe Dream where players have to place tubes so that a steel ball can pass through certain "trap piece slots".
Modes & Ways to Play
The Remix mode has the same basic game play but with added events, such as rooms getting locked off from investigation, suspects getting murdered as the game progresses and much more. The Remix mode has the players take turns the game ends when the timer ends or when the game hits 10 bars' length. The Remix mode has the players competing to get a certain number of pieces of cheese first.
