Rachit AgarwalFacebook is the largest social media platform in the world. Despite being in news for all the wrong things for quite a time now, the social media giant still boasts of over 2.6 billion monthly active users as of the first quarter of 2020. One of the biggest reasons behind its popularity among the masses is the huge catalog of games that the service supports. The top games on the platform see millions of online players every day, making it one of the biggest gaming platforms in the world. If you are also someone who enjoys playing quick games, this is just the article for you as we are going to list out the top 27 best (and most popular) Facebook games of 2020.
Best Facebook Games to Play in 2020
Facebook offers two different kinds of games. The first is the simple web player games which anyone with internet access can play, that too without having to download a thing. The second type of games are the ones that can be played in the Facebook Gameroom. These games normally require you to download files on your system and act more like normal games that you are used to playing. That’s why we have divided this article into two sections:
Best Facebook Web Games
Best Puzzle Games on Facebook Web
1. Candy Crush Saga
It seems that there is no platform where Candy Crush Saga is not popular. Whether you are playing the game on Android, Windows, iOS, or Facebook, the game is still addictive and fun to play. The gameplay here is the same which means you will have to match the same color candies to blow them. If you can create special shapes, you will get different power-ups which will help you clear the candies in a faster or better way. I really don’t think more explanation is needed here. If you are into puzzle games, this is a must play game.
2. Farm Heroes Saga
Farm Heroes Saga is another popular puzzle game which is just like Candy Crush. The main difference here is that instead of exploding and clearing candies, you will be clearing farm products. I love this game as the levels here are different from the ones of Candy Crush and as you progress further, the game becomes more challenging. If you enjoy playing Candy Crush, definitely try out this game too.
3. Criminal Case
Criminal Case is an amalgamation of a HOG (Hidden Objects Game) and a crime game. Basically, you will be solving brutal crimes such as murders and violent robberies by looking for and discovering clues. Find hidden clues to solve a crime and then move onto the next level to repeat the same process. The levels become harder and harder as you progress. I thoroughly enjoy playing this game and recommend it to you wholeheartedly.
4. Bejeweled Blitz
Next on our list is Bejeweled Blitz which is an extremely popular puzzle game and very fun to play. While the gameplay is similar to Candy Crush Saga, it is a lot harder than the former as the time limit here is more aggressive and the levels harder. The game is fun to play in short bursts and acts as a great time killer.
5. Bubble Witch 3 Saga
Bubble Witch 3 Saga is another interesting game from King, the creator of Candy Crush Saga. The plot is same as any other bubble popping game, you have to shoot bubbles and match 3 or more bubbles. However, the animations along with different power-ups make it worth a try.
6. Pearl’s Peril
Pearl’s Peril is an awesome puzzle game which brings mystery and storytelling together with the hidden objects style gameplay. The game takes you back to the romantic and sordid 1930s where you play as the trailblazing heroine, Pearl Wallace who is an ace pilot and world explorer. You will go on a journey which is full of adventure, romance, thrills, and more. As I said, this is a great game and you should definitely play it.
7. Jigsaw World Cruise
For the folks who love to play classy puzzle games with plenty of twists and turns, Jigsaw World Cruise could be the right pick. Featuring over 4000 levels, the game has a lot for you to explore. Every time you succeed in cracking puzzles, you will win plenty of coins. And you can use those coins to unlock a lot of cool goodies that can keep you ahead of the battle and even help you top the chart. So, invite your buddies for a duel and get started with a see-saw battle!
Best Strategy Games on Facebook Web
8. Dragon City
Dragon City is a casual strategy based game where you create your own farm, build buildings, grow food, and more to support your dragon breeding. You collect and curate your own dragons and then feed them to grow them into impressive beasts. You can also make your dragons fight against other online players to win more dragons and prove your superiority.
9. Top 11 Football Manager
If you love sports and strategy then this is the game for you. You will play as a club manager whose job is to create the best football club of all time. You will train players, devise strategies, and play games against opponents to win and rise in the ranks. This is not a time pass game as you will have to invest quite a lot of time if you want to climb the leader boards.
10. Throne Rush
Throne Rush is a simple real-time strategy or RTS game with very simple and intuitive gameplay. The concept is the same as most of the RTS games that you are familiar with. You get to make buildings, create an army, battle other people, and defend your kingdom. The game offers really good visuals and I enjoyed playing it. If you love RTS games, you are going to love this one too.
11. Clash of Kings
Clash of Kings is one of the most popular strategy games on Andriod and iOS devices and it has finally come to Facebook. This is yet another RTS game where your main aim is to raise a powerful army so that you can defend your castle and attack others to earn loot. This game will test all your strategy skills as its gameplay is pretty hard and the other players are quite competitive. If you enjoy a challenge, definitely play this one.

12. Chess
If you like to test your mental faculty, there is no better game than chess to do it. I love the Chess game on Facebook as it not only allows me to play with bots and other players around the world but it also allows me to play against my friends in multiplayer mode. You can choose between different game modes which include Blitz, Time Attack, and Classic, each with its own time frame. If you enjoy playing chess in real life, you will enjoy playing this too.
13. Glow Hockey
Glow Hockey is basically the virtual version of Air Hockey. The game is pretty simple, you have to score by putting the puck in your opponent’s goal while not allowing them to do the same to you. This is a simple time killer and I highly enjoy playing it.
14. Ludo King
There are some games that never seem to lose charm nor do they ever appear to age. And Ludo King belongs to that special category of games. To me, the best part about this game is pretty simple yet addictive gameplay. Thus, you can play it with anyone without having to spend much time on getting a good grip on playing methods. Depending on your mood, you can choose to play this game against a virtual opponent or kickstart a duel with your friend thanks to the online multiplayer mode. With plenty of chances to win a lot of coins and even get on top of the leaderboard, the gameplay is quite fun-loving. Not just that, you can also share your score with your buddies to brag about your dominating performance.
15. Cricket Fever
For the folks looking for an exciting cricket game to play with friends, Cricket Fever appears to be a great choice. Being an instant game, it’s just a click away from you. And as long as you know the basics of cricket, you will really love playing it. Simply, give your best to score a ton of runs by smashing sixes and fours, and then lead your team smartly to defend the total. With every victory, you earn points which not just raise your status as a player but also help you unlock a lot of rewards. So, the next time you feel like getting into a thrilling cricket battle, look no further than Cricket Fever.
