Top 27 Best Facebook Games that You Should Play

Facebook is the largest social media platform in the world. Despite being in news for all the wrong things for quite a time now, and even with a lot of people switching to Facebook alternatives, the social media giant still boasts of over 2.85 billion monthly active users as of the first quarter of 2021. 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 2021.

Best Facebook Games to Play in 2021

Facebook offers a lot of games. These are all simple browser games which anyone with internet access can play, that too without having to download a thing. There are a lot of different categories available on Facebook Gaming. So, we’re dividing this article into multiple sections according to the genre of games. You can use the table of contents below to navigate between Facebook Games’ genres in this list.

Note: If you’re looking for Facebook Gameroom games, we have removed them from this list. That’s because Facebook Gameroom is retiring on June 30, so you will no longer be able to play these games.

Best Puzzle Games on Facebook

1. Car Escape Puzzle

Car Escape Puzzle is the kind of puzzle game that you’ll find ridiculously easy when you start off, and really difficult as you progress through the first few levels. The concept is simple, rotate tiles of roads to connect them to exits. There are multiple cars with their own exits. So naturally, you need to connect roads in a way that it forms a complete loop for each car at the same time, and they can all drive to their destination. This is one of the few Facebook puzzle games that I often find myself playing, and I think you’ll enjoy it as well.

2. 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.

Play

3. 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.

Play

4. 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.

Play

5. 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.

Play

6. 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

7. Battleship

Hasbro’s insanely popular game ‘Battleship’ can be played digitally as well, so you can enjoy playing Battleship with your friends even when you can’t physically hang out together. The game is the same as the board game. You have to place your ships on a grid, and your opponent will place theirs. Then, you each get three shots every turn to shoot at a random grid and see if it hits their ship or misses. The first player to sink all of their opponent’s ships wins. It’s a fun game to play with friends on Facebook.

Play

8. Merge Towers – TD

If you like tower defense games, you should check out Merge Towers – TD on Facebook Games. This is a casual tower defense game, so don’t expect anything quite as intense as something like Rush Royale. Similar to most TD games, you can add new towers, and merge them to get towers of higher levels. You will also occasionally get upgrades for your towers, and more positions to place your towers on the path. Boss battles get a little tough after level 30 or so, but it’s always a lot of fun, and if you fail at beating the boss, you can keep playing the previous level until you’ve upgraded your towers to a higher level. Also, if you’re a fan of these games, and looking for something more intense, you should check out our list of best tower defense games for iPhone and Android.

9. 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.

Play

10. 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.

Play

11. 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. You should also check out some of the best strategy games for PC if you want something more intense and fleshed out.

Play

12. 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.

Play

Best Instant Games on Facebook

13. Super Dash

If you’re looking for a fun platformer game to play on Facebook, you should definitely check out Super Dash. In Super Dash, you have to tap to jump, and you can double-tap to double-jump as well. Your mission is simple, collect coins and power-ups such as the star which basically acts as a coin magnet. You will also have to avoid the spike strips that come around every now and then and will instantly end your game. The game has a timer, so you need to collect as many coins as you can within the time limit to set new high scores. This is a fun game to play when you’re just looking to have some mindless fun on Facebook.

Play

14. Shoot Ball

Shoot Ball is a game that will eat into your time without you even realising. That is, unless you’re really bad at it, then it will be really annoying. All you have to do is move your cannon around and shoot all the falling rocks (of sorts) and destroy them. You also have to ensure that the rocks don’t come in contact with your cannon — at that point, it’s game over. You can upgrade your cannon’s shooting speed, power, and even the coins you get by destroying rocks at the end of each round. It’s a really fun game if you have lots of time on your hand and you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Play

15. 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.

Play

16. 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.

Play

17. 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.

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.

Put your vocabulary to the test in Words with Friends on Facebook games. This is a classic game that most likely needs to introduction. You can play with your friends online as you try to use the letter tiles available to you each round to make the highest scoring words on the boards. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins.

There are multiple squares on the board that offer double and triple scores as well, so whenever possible, make sure you place your tiles on those squares to get even higher scores. This is a great game to play with friends when you’re just trying to pass some time, while also brushing up on your vocabulary.
