Anyone have any recommendations for interactive family board games?

What do you mean by an interactive board game?

Do you mean things like Rapidough where it's something you do physically (make models) rather than a board game?

Or something like Bugs in the kitchen which does have a board which you make moves on, but there's also something physical as part of the game (the hexbugs scooting around the board)

Or do you just mean any board game (they are all interactive!)

Herd mentality is really good fun. My DCs 11 and 8 love it.

We used to play Cranium which involves teams having to draw or act out a clue or model something.
Our all time favourite board game is Labyrinth which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
For a bit of fun there is always Beetle. It can be played with pen and pencil but we bought a cheap set and the children enjoy actually building their beetles.

Also how old are the family members? This makes a huge difference as to what can be fun or frustrating.

Sorry for confusion I mean a board game where you maybe use a app or dvd as well as playing on a board. Something like atmosfear dvd board game I remember as a kid.
Age of family is 14 years up

Mansions of madness (2nd edition) is amazing. It has an app and figures/monsters as well as pieces that make up different boards for different scenarios. Scores really highly in board game reviews. It's a gamers game though. Takes a few hours to play and expensive to buy.

What about an escape room game? If the kids are younger there is a brand called Trapped suitable for younger ones

Beasts of balance?

Ah, just seen the ages, BoB is too young (well, I'm 41 and love it, but teens would probably not be so impressed)
