Plan an Incredible Family Game Night with Games, Snacks, and The Incredibles of Course

Just like everyone else we’ve been super excited about the Incredibles 2 movie. Earlier this year I visited the Pixar campus to learn about how they created the film and even had the opportunity (my second actually) to chat with Brad Bird about why it took so long to get the Parr family back on the big screen. I’m sure all Disney super fans already picked up their digital copy or purchased the newly released DVD/Blu-ray in stores. However if you’re thinking about grabbing a copy it’s a great time to plan an incredible family game night.

Disclosure: Thanks to Walt Disney Studios for sending us the Incredibles 2 Game Night Kit to facilitate this post. Any opinions expressed are my own.

It’s so easy to plan a fun game night for the whole family. We ended up with some cool Incredibles themed games from our kit but you can choose any games you want for your game night. We just started building our games collection as our older kids can appreciate it now compared to before.

About Incredibles 2:

In “Incredibles 2,” Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose superpowers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.

Games, Snacks, and more

Inside our kit were two board games geared towards kids. Monopoly Jr Incredibles Edition and Save the Day Game. 

We decided to break out the Monopoly Jr game to start off the night. It was super easy and fun to play with the kids. For your game night, you can pick out your games that you love and want to play with your family. 

After the our game night we headed down to the family room put on the movie. We popped some popcorn and passed out our Goldfish. While watching the film don’t forget to dive into the bonus features.
