Online games to play with friends
A long-distance hangout, a voice call that won't end, or just the urge to roast each other: here are the best online games to play with friends, free and with no sign-up. We start with ours — ViewGuessr — then give you an honest pick of crowd-pleasers.
ViewGuessr: guess the views, together
ViewGuessr is a game where you guess the view count of real trending YouTube videos. In multiplayer it's a great group game: the host creates a room, picks a theme (gaming, music, sport…) and a language, then shares a 6-letter code. Everyone gets the same videos, places their slider, and whoever lands closest to the real number scores the most. The leaderboard updates live, up to 10 players.
No account, no download, nothing to install: a link, a code, and you're playing. That's what makes it ideal when you're already on a Discord call and want to start something in ten seconds.
