Hasbro Family Game Night is a 2008 party video game developed by EA Bright Light and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 2 and Wii in November 2008, before being ported to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 the following year with similar, un-related games of the same name being released for the Nintendo DS and Microsoft Windows. The game adapts a selection of popular Hasbro board games into a video game form, with both classic and enhanced versions of each game available to play. The game was named after the company's "Family Game Night" marketing campaign, which aimed for families to bond together while playing board games.
While receiving mainly mixed reviews upon release by critics, the game and marketing campaign were a commercial success for Hasbro and Electronic Arts. This allowed the two companies to produce a franchise featuring three additional video game entries, while a game show of the same name aired on The Hub from 2010 until 2014.
