It's been months since the quarantine has started, and we understand that cabin fever is getting the best of us. The best thing to do is to hang out with our friends virtually. If you are running out of things to say during your Zoom meetings, why not host a game night? No need to look further for some good entertainment. Here are some of the best online games that you can play with your pals for free!
Skribbl.io
Skribbl.io is one of the best online games that you and your friends will enjoy. If you know Pictionary, then this game is the same thing. It’s a guessing game with simple mechanics: guess whatever the other person is drawing. First, someone should make a private room and send the link to your friends. Next, customize your nickname and character while waiting for the game master to start the game. Each person gets a chance to get their turns in doodling their own words. When it’s your turn, Skribbl.io will give you three words you can choose from to draw. What makes this game silly is that some words are hard to draw. Skribbl.io can give you a noun, verb, thing, season, event, and more!
Cards Against Humanity
Dark humor turned into a card game? Cards Against Humanity is a cool game to have a good laugh with your friends. The game is easy to learn if you don’t know the mechanics yet. There are two decks of cards: the black deck that contains all the questions, and the white deck has all the possible answers. For every round, each player gets to draw a black card. The rest of the group needs to answer the question using the white cards they have on hand. The one who is asking gets to pick who has the funniest and wittiest white card. There are a lot of websites that host this game for free!
Among Us
With its graphics and fun game mechanics, Among Us is one of the go-to games of a lot of people ever since the quarantine has started. Once you are in a private game, the game server will tell you whether you are a crewmate or an impostor. If you’re a crewmate, you need to finish a list of easy tasks around the spaceship and aim to finish everything before the impostor kills you. On the other hand, the impostor on the guise of a crewmate needs to sabotage and murder most of the real crewmates. The players get to communicate with one another during the game when someone calls for an emergency meeting or if someone reports a dead body. Everyone needs to figure out who the impostor is by coming up with their alibis, while the impostor deceives the other players. Among Us is a fun deception and strategy game that you and your friends will surely enjoy! You can play this game via the web or download the free app.
Words With Friends 2

You will see a set of letters, where you need to form a word before the time runs out. You have to think quickly, or you will lose your turn. The person with the highest score wins. You will also earn some coins every time you play, which you can use to unlock the other features of the game! Ready your dictionary and challenge your friends to a fun Scrabble game.
Mario Kart Tour
You can never go wrong with this classic. Every gamer knows the classic Mario Kart from their childhood days, so this game doesn’t need much introduction. The good news is you can download the Mario Kart Tour app with the multiplayer feature. You get to enjoy bi-weekly themed tours and challenges. But there’s a catch! You need to create a Nintendo account first and play a few single games before you can unlock the multiplayer games. So what are you waiting for?
