Game Blantyre is a discount store at Chichiri Shopping Centre, on the corner of Chipembere Highway and Moi Road in Blantyre, Malawi. It belongs to the Game chain run by Massmart, and Game's Malawi website lists it as one of two stores in the country, the other being at Lilongwe City Mall.

Massmart describes Game as a discount retailer of appliances, electronics, lifestyle merchandise, groceries, liquor and value-added services, operating in eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Massmart itself was founded in 1990 and is based in Sandton, South Africa. Walmart bought 51 per cent of the company in June 2011 and made it a wholly owned subsidiary in November 2022, ending a Johannesburg Stock Exchange listing that dated from July 2000. Blantyre is Malawi's commercial and industrial centre and its second-largest city, with about 800,000 residents at the 2018 census. It grew from a Church of Scotland mission founded in 1876 and was named after Blantyre in Scotland, the birthplace of David Livingstone; having gained municipal status by 1895, it is the country's oldest municipality and is the capital of the Southern Region. The store's number, as given on Game's Malawi website, is +265 50 187 0170, and its email address is gameblantyre@mdd.co.za.
