Game Night (2018) Trivia Questions & Answers
- Who plays the role of Max in Game Night (2018)?
Correct Answer: Jason Bateman
Jason Bateman stars as Max, a slightly neurotic but lovable guy who thrives on game night competitions. His trademark deadpan humor and timing make him the perfect lead for this mix of comedy and chaos. Max’s desire to outdo his older brother and start a family adds emotional stakes to what begins as a silly night of fun.
- What is the name of Max’s competitive and intelligent wife?
Correct Answer: Annie
Annie, played by Rachel McAdams, is Max’s equally competitive and clever partner. Their chemistry is one of the film’s highlights, particularly during their frantic but hilarious attempts to save Max’s brother. Annie brings quick thinking and charm to every scene, including one unforgettable moment involving a bullet extraction and a bottle of Chardonnay.
- What unusual twist kicks off the night’s chaos?
Correct Answer: A real kidnapping occurs during a staged game
The group believes they’re participating in an immersive mystery game where Brooks will be “kidnapped” as part of the fun. However, things go sideways when real criminals show up and actually abduct him. This twist launches the characters into a night of misadventures, with everyone still unsure of what’s real and what’s part of the game.
- Which actor plays Brooks, Max’s charismatic older brother?
Correct Answer: Kyle Chandler
Kyle Chandler plays Brooks, the wildly successful and slightly smug older brother who always seems to overshadow Max. His invitation to host an “epic” game night sets the plot in motion. Chandler flips his usual serious persona to great effect here, adding both comedy and mystery as Brooks’s true circumstances come to light.
- What profession does Brooks pretend to have?
Correct Answer: Successful venture capitalist
Brooks shows up in a flashy car, boasting about his high-powered job, but it’s all a front. He’s actually involved in illegal dealings and is on the run from dangerous people. This deception makes his “kidnapping” all the more believable — and complicated — when it turns out he’s really in trouble.
- What item are the players unknowingly trying to retrieve during the game?
Correct Answer: A Fabergé egg
The Fabergé egg is the valuable object everyone is chasing, thinking it’s just part of the fictional mystery. In reality, it’s the target of real criminals. The egg adds a layer of absurdity and danger, turning what was supposed to be an elaborate game into a high-stakes scavenger hunt.
- What is the name of the awkward, creepy neighbor who wants to join the game night?
Correct Answer: Gary
Gary, played hilariously and uncomfortably by Jesse Plemons, is a divorced, lonely police officer who is obsessed with rejoining game night. His deadpan line delivery and strange behavior make him both comic relief and an oddly intense presence. His scenes — especially involving his dog — are among the most memorably awkward moments in the film.
- What kind of dog does Gary own, which gets accidentally covered in blood?
Correct Answer: West Highland White Terrier
Gary’s pristine white dog becomes an unwitting victim when Max accidentally sprays blood all over it during a bungled break-in. The visual gag of Max desperately trying to clean the dog with white throw pillows is one of the film’s comedic highlights. It perfectly captures the escalating chaos and absurdity of the night.
- Which real-life game is used as a thematic element during a scene involving a chase and fake-out?
Correct Answer: Jenga
During a tense sequence, the characters move stealthily through a mansion, passing a priceless egg between them in a carefully choreographed manner that visually mimics the block-stacking tension of Jenga. The scene is a masterclass in physical comedy, timing, and suspense, blending the game night concept with real action.
- What shocking twist is revealed at the end of the film?
Correct Answer: The entire night was part of a larger game Brooks arranged
Just when it seems everything is over and real danger has passed, Gary reappears and reveals that the whole night — including the “real” kidnapping and several seemingly unrelated events — was an even more elaborate game he orchestrated. This final twist flips the story on its head and plays perfectly into the film’s theme of never knowing what’s part of the game and what’s not.
