Family game night may be designed to pry kids away from the TV one night a week. But several new games on the market may draw them back to its addictive glow as an essential part of play.

A growing number of board games are incorporating clues that play out on DVDs, where individual scenes are isolated for trivia questions. After using the approach on movies, the Scene It? Game has diversified from movies to TV shows.

The Scene It? TV Edition incorporates 1,200 trivia questions about more than 100 clips of such TV shows as “Leave It To Beaver,” “MASH,” “Happy Days” and “24.”

The scenes all appear on a single DVD disc, which offers another multimedia innovation on game board conventions: an on-screen rules demonstration.

“Not just for TV buffs,” the package promises, the Scene It? TV Edition (Screenlife, $44.99) also relies on players’ observation, memory, puzzle-solving and word-play skills.

The reigning granddaddy of trivia games is following suit with special editions of its game that also rely partly on DVD discs. The most specific for TV is the Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition (Hasbro, $34.99), incorporating 30 seasons of questions about sketches, impressions, catch phrases and recurring characters from “Saturday Night Live.” A variety of its characters are represented on the game pieces: a Conehead, a Spartan cheerleader, a Landshark. A typical on-screen question presents a famous sketch or commercial parody from the show asking for information. (Who is imitating Dennis Miller on a “Weekend Update” sketch? Dana Carvey). Lots of questions cover classic casts from decades ago, but some are about the relatively unsung current cast members.

Unlike the other DVD editions of Trivial Pursuit, which includes a general Pop Culture game and a “Lord of the Rings” edition, the SNL Edition is the rare one marked for “adults” as its intended age group. It’s one of the few games affixed with the warning “Viewer discretion advised.” (Also, the amusing disclaimer: “DVD player not included”).

The No. 1 ranked drama on TV for a couple of seasons has been “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” so it’s no surprise it’s become a game of its own. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Board Game (SBG, $24.95) is neither a dissection game nor a variation of the old Operation, which does have a few variations, as it turns out, one putting Shrek as the patient, another concentrating on junior brain surgery.

Instead, it’s a board game more along the lines of Clue. Players (suggested age: 13 and up) become their favorite show character and use science and deductive ability to solve eight crime stories written by crime writer Max Haines through 24 suspects and evidence cards per story and 26 disclosure cards. Winners must be the first to enter Grissom’s office with a correct arrest warrant proving means, motive and opportunity.

A number of classic games can be addictive to TV audiences through adaptation to favorite shows. Monopoly: Simpsons Edition (Parker Brothers, $34.99) rewrites the game story so that C. Montgomery Burns is buying up the town of Springfield to build a monorail system. Many of its familiar properties, from Moe’s Bar to the Kwik-E-Mart, are up for sale.
