Gaming used to be a much more niche hobby, but with the advent of smartphones, almost everyone plays video games at some point or another. They can be a great way to spend time with the family or turn a party up to 11. And there are plenty of games where you don’t need to teach someone how to use a controller and all of its confusing buttons. In fact, there are some designed specifically with just your smartphone in mind.
There are a lot of online games to choose from — whether you’re a fan of old-school favorites, party games
, escape rooms or exciting board games, there’s likely a virtual option. Here are some of the best online games you can play with friends, no matter what type of experience you’re seeking. We’ll update this list regularly.
