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. 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. There is also the option of changing outfits for Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (who can be seen wandering around the park). After a certain number of games have been played, mascots, confetti, statues and various items are unlocked for the amusement park. They fill no other function than adding visual flair to the hub.
The five featured games are: The Game of Life, Yahtzee Hands Down, Mouse Trap, Twister, and The Game of Life's companion game, where players aim to live a successful life and accumulate wealth. In this version, it doesn't matter which player crosses the finish line first, as the money is all added up after all the players have finished.
In the Remix mode, the objective changes. For The Game of Life, the player earns extra steps by landing on money making spaces or minus steps if landing on money losing spaces, and it's a race to the finish. In Yahtzee Hands Down, the game is real-time and players can show hands at any time, with only one point card visible at a time. For Mouse Trap, the goal is to gather as much cheese as possible while assembling a Rube Goldberg-like mouse trap, but in Remix mode, players compete to get a certain number of pieces of cheese first.
The Twister game involves replaying segments shown by pressing corresponding buttons on a beat line, with multiple songs and difficulties available. In Remix mode, the game takes place on a different board and players can place traps in specific trap slots along the road to hinder other players. Landing on one of the traps triggers a mini game where the player must time a button push or lose a piece of cheese.
Mouse Trap's Mini-game is a version of Pipe Dream, where the player has to place tubes so that a steel ball can pass through certain "trap piece slots". The last player to be trapped after the whole mouse trap is assembled wins the game in Original mode. In Remix mode, players compete to get a certain number of pieces of cheese first.
