Hasbro to Offer Savings of Up To $83 on Family Game Night Games
PAWTUCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
If the triage unit is needed to revive your family's OPERATION game,
your racecar has sped away from your MONOPOLY game or you're embarrassed
about the sorry state of your SORRY! game, then Hasbro's Great Games
Trade-In is the perfect solution to revive your game collection and your
FAMILY GAME NIGHT experience. Just in time for the third annual National
Family Game Night on September 28, Hasbro has teamed up with
Recyclebank® to help families responsibly recycle and dispose of their
old, worn-out games and offer exceptional savings to replace them with
new, refreshed editions to bring an extra dose of fun to all Family Game
Night gatherings.
By teaming up with Recyclebank, the company that rewards people for
taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from local
businesses and national brands, Hasbro makes it easy for families to
participate in National Family Game Night while keeping their
wallets full and their environmental footprints small. Consumers can
visit www.FamilyGameNight.com
to select and download up to 22 exclusive game coupons for a total
savings value of as much as $83, and print prepaid mailing labels to
recycle old games through Recyclebank. All of the Great Games Trade-In
coupons are available for download through September 30 or while
supplies last, and can be redeemed at select mass merchandise retailers
nationwide through October 9.
"We encourage families to take time to play games together year round,
but we do hope they will join us in the Great Games Trade-In, which
provides an ideal opportunity to bring home a fresh new game this
September," said Kevin Fortey, Vice President of U.S. Marketing for
Hasbro games. "We hope that on National Family Game Night, families will
take a break from their busy schedules to enjoy playing a brand new game
together, complete with fun, laughter and quality family time."
"Recyclebank is all about gaming for good. At its core, Recyclebank
leverages this powerful concept to engage members online, while
influencing behaviors offline—starting people on their own
sustainability journey in a fun and educational environment," said
Samantha Skey, chief revenue officer at Recyclebank. "We incent members
to take easy, everyday green actions that collectively add up to a big
environmental impact, and Hasbro's Great Games Trade-In provides an easy
way for families to take green action. Our hope is that the nudge to
think differently about games recycling will cultivate a new behavior
among families."
Families can add some excitement to National Family Game Night
this year with new games based on favorite Hasbro brands. For example,
SIMON FLASH, an all-new take on the 1980's hit, SIMON, encourages
players to conquer the colors by shuffling and sliding four jewel-toned
electronic cubes in four unique games of memory and logic. CONNECT 4
LAUNCHERS adds fast-paced action to everyone's favorite game of
four-in-a-row, as players frantically flip checkers into a two-tiered,
horizontal grid. Even the youngest of wordsmiths can grab a spoon and
scoop up the fun with SCRABBLE ALPHABET SCOOP, a free-for-all race to
match and spell the words on your cards as quickly as possible.
Those interested in swapping their favorite games for fresh editions
will find lots of great savings on iconic Family Game Night names. Make
your life richer faster than ever with MONOPOLY: Electronic Banking Edition,
which helps speed up game play so you can become a real estate tycoon in
no time at all. Cavity Sam won't be the only one with a case of "The
Giggles" when you test your precision in OPERATION as you work to cure
this patient's quirky ailments like "Phone Finger" and "Toxic Gas." If
some of the characters from your GUESS WHO? game have disappeared,
upgrade to the latest version with new characters on an easy to insert,
one-sheet card. Or, start your FAMILY GAME NIGHT tradition off with a
sweet new edition of CANDY LAND as your little ones embark down the
colorful path to "Cupcake Commons," "Licorice Lagoon" and never-ending
family fun. With a fully stocked and updated game closet, all you'll
need for National Family Game Night are the snacks!
