WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Competitive couple Max (Bateman) and Annie (McAdams) find that their weekly couples game night has been kicked up a notch when Max’s brother Brooks (Chandler) hosts a murder mystery night, only for him to be suddenly kidnapped by who the couples assume are just actors. When they realise that this might be much more serious, Max and Annie compete against the other couples to solve the mystery and “win” while also discovering more about what kind of trouble Brooks has gotten into…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This is a darkly hilarious comedy about the lengths anyone will go to just to win at their regular game night, no matter what the stakes.
