Multiplayer Facebook Free Games

Facebook gives you two free ways to play multiplayer games with friends: Instant Games inside the Facebook app, and games you play together during a Messenger video call. The video-call games — Meta calls the feature “Play Together” — launched in April 2023 with 14 free titles. You start a video call, tap the Play icon, and everyone on the call joins the same game. No installation, no charge.

Here are the best free multiplayer games to try, plus the current way to start one. The desktop route changed in 2026 — see the update near the end.

Words With Friends

If you know Scrabble, you already understand Words With Friends. You and your friends take turns forming words on a board that works like a crossword puzzle.

The game is easy to master and builds your vocabulary as you play.

Words With Friends also has features that keep you coming back: statistics for tracking progress (and bragging rights), weekly challenges, Quick Play, and Beat the Clock mode.

Mini Golf

Mini Golf (Mini Golf FRVR) is one to challenge your Facebook friends to.

It is very different from regular golf. The gameplay is simple: slide your finger and release to hit the ball, like snooker. Aim well so the ball rolls to the hole in as few shots as possible. You can also knock your friend’s ball off its route for a quicker ride to victory.

There are plenty of obstacles throughout the game, such as bomb traps, mazes, drawbridges, and pyramids. Those challenges are what make it fun to play with friends.

Exploding Kittens

A fan of kittens and cards? This one is for you.

Exploding Kittens plays like Russian roulette with cards. You keep drawing until you or a friend draws an exploding kitten — then the game is over.

You can lower the risk by peeking at cards before drawing, forcing a friend to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck. The tension climbs with every draw, which is what makes it so fun on a call.

Quiz Planet

Quiz Planet is a fast trivia game with an intergalactic setting. You play head-to-head against your Facebook friends.

Features

• More than 7,500 quiz questions, with new ones added daily
• 19 categories to pick from
• Playable in 28 languages

Card Wars

Card Wars is a card-based role-playing game with up to 20 playable characters. You explore the land of Ooo, draw personalized cards, and battle with creatures, abilities, and spells. There are over 200 quests to unlock, so you will not run out of things to do with friends.

Werewolves of Silverton

Werewolves of Silverton is a social deduction game. You and your friends take on roles: Werewolf, Seer, Medic, and villagers.

The gameplay revolves around drawing cards. When the werewolf is caught, the game ends.

Crossword Party

Crossword Party is a multiplayer crossword. It features a checkerboard of black and white squares; each player fills the white squares by solving clues.

It is easy to learn and a solid way to build your vocabulary while playing with friends.

Poker Lounge

Poker Lounge lets you challenge friends to a table of poker with virtual chips — no real money involved. The tables are well designed, so you get a proper poker experience while you prove who the champion is.

Other multiplayer Facebook free games include:

• Basketball FRVR
• Spyfall
• GoFish
• Yatzy FRVR
• Acronym FRVR
• Gif it up!
• Lab Coats.

Game lineups rotate and can differ by country. If a title above is missing from your list, scroll the games library in your call — Meta adds and retires games without notice.

How to Play Games During a Messenger Video Call (iOS or Android)

• Open the Messenger app on your phone.
• Choose a friend or a group chat with the friends you want to play with.
• Tap the video call icon in the top right corner, beside the audio call icon.
• Once the call starts, tap the gamepad icon labeled “Play.”
• Pick a game from the collection. Each game shows the minimum number of players.
• Tap “Start game.” Everyone on the call gets an invite they can accept or decline.
• When your friends tap “Join,” the game launches for everyone.

You need at least two people on the call to play.

Exit the game

• Tap the “X” in the upper right of the game display.
• Tap “Leave Game” to return to the call.

Can You Still Play on PC? (What Changed in 2026)

The old desktop route is gone:

• Meta shut down the Messenger desktop apps for Windows and macOS on December 15, 2025.
• messenger.com was retired on April 15, 2026 — it now redirects to Facebook.

So you can no longer start a video-call game from messenger.com. Play video-call games in the Messenger mobile app instead. On a computer, you can still play free Facebook games (Instant Games) at facebook.com/games — many of them support playing against friends, without a video call.

One more change coming: Meta is retiring classic Facebook “Web Games” (the 2007-era browser games) on September 30, 2026. Instant Games — the kind covered in this guide — continue after that date.
