Movies that feel likeGame Night (2018)

Max and Annie's weekly game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's brother Brooks arranges a murder mystery party -- complete with fake thugs and federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it's all supposed to be part of the game. As the competitors set out to solve the case, they start to learn that neither the game nor Brooks are what they seem to be. The friends soon find themselves in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn over the course of one chaotic night.

If you loved Game Night, the closest films we have are Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), The Killer (2023) and Cold Pursuit (2019). All three share Game Night's gritty and darkly funny feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Forgotten (2017).
