East Longmeadow, Mass. (September 2009) – On September 23 families across the country will be buying properties, shouting “Sorry!” and planning triple word scores during the first official National Family Game Night. As the makers of popular family games including THE GAME OF LIFE, CLUE and CONNECT 4, Hasbro challenges American families to pause from hectic schedules and take part in an evening of game play to reconnect and reenergize relationships. This Wednesday evening is part of Turn Off Week, a grassroots effort that encourages families to switch off electronic distractions and engage in other forms of entertainment, such as playing games, that promote conversation and interaction.

“Family game night invites families everywhere to turn off the outside world for a short time and create memories together,” said Belisa Anzalotti, Director of U.S. Marketing for Hasbro Games. “Hasbro has established National Family Game Night to designate one evening where American families are encouraged to play games and share in learning and laughter.”
