Continuity mistake: Right after Max kisses the hand of Ryan's ditzy date, the shot cuts. In the first shot, her hand is still up, but instantly in the next shot, it's down by her side.

Continuity mistake: When Brooks is telling the embarrassing story about Max trying to give himself oral sex, at one point you see Kevin reach up and start to scratch his chin. The shot cuts, and suddenly both of his hands are down, and he's no longer scratching his chin.

Deliberate mistake: When Michelle brings up the photo of "Fake Denzel" on her phone, she says she put it into a hidden folder. Problem? She only presses on her phone once (based on the sound you hear), and has the photo up and filling the screen within about one second. Totally preposterous. Obviously, it was done that way to keep the scene moving quickly... but there's no way a single button press and a timespan of about one second is going to bring up and maximize a photo from a hidden folder on her phone.
Suggested correction: The very faint click you hear could be her phone unlocking, so we don't know how often she taps the screen. That said, yes, it's unlikely she'd be able to access the photo that fast.
I don't understand this correction, because it literally just seems to reinforce the original mistake. Unlocking her phone wouldn't instantly bring up a photo in a hidden folder.

Continuity mistake: When Michelle tells the kidnappers "We got you the list!" right before Gary shows up, she goes from facing down at the ground to facing up at the kidnappers instantly between cuts.

Continuity mistake: After Max says "That's great... now they're gonna kill my brother," he turns to face Annie and then starts turning his again right as the shot cuts. The scene cuts to a different angle, and he is instantly facing straight forward and not moving at all.

Continuity mistake: When the group is playing Jenga to distract Gary, and Ryan snaps at Annie to make a decision, pay attention. In the first shot, Annie has her hand on her chin like she's thinking, but instantly between cuts, her hand is down on the table.

Revealing mistake: During the car chase, there are a few brief moments where you can get a look at the stunt-drivers who are driving the cars in the wideshots. They look similar to the actors... but not exactly the same.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: During the car chase, there are a few moments where the background we see outside of the car windows doesn't quite match the background we see outside when we get wideshots of the cars driving. It usually matches, but there's 2 or 3 moments where it doesn't scatter throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: When the two actors playing the "kidnappers " (who are part of the actual "game") break in and realise Ron the "FBI agent" was punched, pay attention. Between shots, the actors playing the "kidnappers" go from practically being shoulder-to-shoulder to suddenly being about 4 feet apart between cuts. (It happens when the one actor lifts off his mask).

Continuity mistake: When Ryan is explaining fight clubs, Annie starts to munch on a carrot. Right before the shot cuts, about half the carrot is sticking out of her mouth, and she's holding it with both hands. Instantly between cuts, she's eaten almost the entire carrot and is only holding it with one hand.

Continuity mistake: When Gary is explaining that he set up the kidnapping, throughout the scene, the directions the various characters are facing and the positions they are standing in change repeatedly between shots depending on the angle.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: The two streaks of "blood" coming out of Gary's mouth change size and position repeatedly throughout the remainder of the scene after he is "shot" by the kidnappers. (Sometimes the streaks are thinner... sometimes thicker... sometimes close together... sometimes further apart... etc. It depends on the camera angle).

Revealing mistake: When Max and Annie are driving the car towards the Bulgarian's plane, there are a few exterior shot of the car, and you can blatantly tell that "Annie" is a stunt performer in a bad wig. Her head and especially hair look MASSIVE in these shots, compared to how small her head and hair usually are. (It's especially noticeable in the shot that's following the car from behind).

Continuity mistake: When Annie points to the bridge and says "There it is! Fourth street!" her arm is lifted and pointing to the window. The scene then cuts to Kevin, and you can see in the background that Annie's arm has instantly gone down between cuts.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: After Sarah and Ryan have their awkward moment in the back of the car, it cuts to Max and then Kevin. Sarah is in the background of both shots. In the shot of Max, we see her brushing her hair with her hand and then lowering her hand into her lap. Then, when it cuts to Kevin, suddenly Sarah is brushing her hair with her hand again, and puts it back down a second time. The cuts are instant, so there's no time for her to have lifted her hand back up between edits.
