Some games never go out of vogue and Tetris is the best proof of it. The popular block arrangement game has come a long way from being a staple on consoles with a black-and-white screen to the colorful variation we are suggesting here. The goal remains the same – earn points by clearing horizontal lines , but it’s the neon-colored blocks that add a freshness to the classic game that will surely help you kill some time during breaks.

Thunder

Thunder is one of those games that seem easy but turns out tougher than you imagined. In the game, thunder strikes the floor from the top and you should tactically escape the incoming bolt. The catch here is that the points system is linked to the thunder. As soon as the thunder hits the floor, gold particles appear, collecting which gives you the score. If you stay too far away from the thunder, the gold particle would disappear before you could collect them. Hence, you will have to find a balance between escaping the thunder and collecting points to enjoy the game.

Looking for fun safari or jungle themed party games for your next wild and crazy party? Enjoy these 12 fun animal party games that you can print. Party animal birthday themed activities and printable games for toddlers, preschoolers & younger kids.

Best Jungle Party Games For Kids

Ready to get wild with some jungle party games? Celebrate like an animal with these fun ideas that are easy to plan and pull together for a party that will cause a roar. With these adventurous jungle theme party games, your guests may cause a stampede to be a part of your tribe!

Safari jungle party games are perfect for kids of all ages and can be easily tailored to whatever level of energy and excitement you want for your party. They are the best games for toddlers and younger kids but can also be tailored toward tweens and teens with just a few animal adaptions.

What is the difference between Jungle and Safari?

The difference between a jungle and a safari is primarily the environment. A jungle would be a lush green space often humid and with water. A safari would be a landscape that is often dry similar to a desert. Often a jungle is attached to tropical regions like South America and a Safari would frequently be used for dry environments like Africa.

Due to different locations and opposite climates, jungle, and safari animals are not the same. Just to name a few, safari animals include a lion, an elephant, a cheetah, a zebra, a rhino, a giraffe, an ostrich and a leopard. Alternatively, jungle animals might include monkeys, snakes, exotic birds, tigers, jaguars, and crocodiles. Animals that might overlap both environments are crocs, cheetahs, and elephants.

When planning an animal party it’s very easy to overlap safari theme party games with jungle theme party games. Luckily both include wild animals (pun in tented – meaning both your guests and the animals).

Safari Party Games

If you’re looking for some classic party games with a wild twist, try a few rounds of musical chairs set to jungle-themed music or have an animal treasure hunt where the prizes are hidden around the yard or park. Both are easy party games and honestly toddlers would love it but teens would also love both! I could just see them fighting over that last chair.

For a more active party, set up a jungle obstacle course with if you have the space or play some fun animal charades. No matter what games you choose, make sure to have plenty of prizes on hand for the winners! It can be a small prize like a piece of candy or animal-themed party favor.

Jungle Theme Party Games

If you want to go all out with a jungle theme party, then you’ll need some games that fit the bill. A few ideas include a Jungle Scavenger Hunt, where guests have to find items on a list around the party area, or a game of Jungle Jeopardy, where teams compete to answer questions about jungle animals. Just make sure you answer in question form!

For a really fun and unique party, try setting up a photo booth with jungle-themed props and backdrops. Your guests will have a blast taking photos and you’ll have some great memories to look back on! In this theme, have everyone come in costume and vote on the best animal costume. This could be great for older kids.

Kids Jungle Party Games

When creating an animal party we often think about the cake, list of guests, decorations, venue and more. One item that comes last is the party entertainment. Let’s put the play back in the party planning with some of the best group games for kids at a party.

Have an adventure! Host a fun jungle safari party!

The idea of a safari or zoo party is forever popular because all kids love animals.

Have an idea we should include? Please tell us about it!

Jungle Safari or Zoo Animal Party Ideas

Easy Zoo Animal Party Invitations 

Make a map of the Jungle, with details included as part of the map legend.

Use an easily recognizable cutout shape of an animal, like a elephant, as your invitation.

Party Decorations

Lots of green and brown balloons, streamers, etc.

  • If inside, hang sheets of green butcher paper on the walls, Make vines out of twisted brown kraft paper or brown grocery sacks, and attach large green construction paper-shaped leaves.
  • Mix some rubber snakes and jungle stuffed animals into your décor
  • Create some jungle flowers ( using these luau flowers as a guide )
  • For the Cake Table - Raffia Table Skirting!

Jungle Safari Party Arrival Activity

  • Face painting – have a helper draw tiger stripes or other fun details on each child’s face.
  • Decorate a plastic pith helmet with animal stickers
  • Decorate binoculars with stickers
  • Make binoculars (if you have adult helpers who can oversee this) by decorating toilet paper rolls and taping them together. Punch holes in the sides for yarn so the binoculars can hang around their necks.

Favorite Jungle Safari Party Animal Games

  • Note: Most of the games listed have to do with a specific jungle animal. Set these games up in different areas of your party space. Play up the theme by going “on safari” with your binoculars to look for the animal that is the focus of the each game.
  • Animal Hunt – Have a helper hide stuffed jungle animals, or little plastic animal figurines in the party area. On “Go”, the children must find the number that you specify (such as find 1, find 3, etc.) and bring them to you.
  • Animal Charades – Select one child to be “It” and stand up in front of the group. Tell “It” to think of an animal, and then act out what the animal does. The kids try to guess what animal it is. For young children, provide them with an idea of the animal.
  • Hot Animal – Play Hot potato, but with a stuffed jungle animal.
  • Bean Bag Toss – “Feed” bean bags to a tiger or other animal drawn on posterboard with a hole for their mouth.
  • Pin the Trunk on the Elephant – Draw an elephant on posterboard and make a “trunk” for each child to “pin” on the poster (use double stick tape).
  • Tiger, Tiger, Lion – played like Duck, Duck Goose, but use the words Tiger, Tiger, Lion instead!
  • Monkey See, Monkey Do – played like Follow the Leader. Select one child to be the monkey and either form a line behind this child or have him stand up in front of the group. The monkey will move around and all the children have to copy the actions.
  • Zoo Animal Tug of War - have a game of tug of war, with kids pretending to be differnt animals.
  • Lion, Lion, are you Hungry? - One person is the lion, and stands at one end of the yard. The kids are at the other end of the yard. The kids yell together, “Lion, Lion, are you hungry?” to which the Lion will say “No, not really, come closer”. The kids will all come a little closer and ask the question again. This happens over and over, until the Lion finally answers “Yes”! At this point he tries to catch as many children as possible and they become lions too. The game starts over, with the new lions on one side of the yard and the other kids at the other side of the yard.
  • Need more games? Visit our party games page for more game ideas, and adapt them to your theme!

Jungle Safari Party Birthday Cake Ideas

  • Make a jungle safari party cake in the shape of the honoree’s favorite jungle animal
  • Make a cake in the shape of your choice, frost with colored icing in brown and decorate the top with small plastic animal figurines. You can make a portion of the cake blue for water, and add some small plastic trees for that jungle effect.

Best free web browser games: 10 browser-only titles you have to play

Point and click for the best free web browser games you can play now

best free web browser games: An island town built in Townscaper

The best free web browser games are somewhat of a well-kept secret. The internet is full of free things, so it’s not much of a secret that we get to enjoy free web browser games – the real treat however, is how good many of them are.

Among admittedly more simplistic clicker games (which can also be a lot of fun) await early prototypes of successful commercial games, high-quality games designed to be played in a short break from work and puzzles that keep your brain fit. There’s something for everyone. We Flash was disabled, browser game fans lost a lot of good titles, but many of them also made the jump over to HTML5 – and don’t forget about new browser gaming sensations like Wordle , either.

Graphically, these games are going to be simpler than the best PC games , of course, so that everyone can play them without installation, with nothing but a basic office laptop. On the other hand they are also free and easy to pick up and put down.

Our list has the games everyone has been talking, about, so let’s discover some free-to-play fun with the best free web browser games.

Best free web browser games

best free web browser games: Doom art with a man in a torn green space suit and a helmet, shooting at and being grabbed by monsters

Doom (1993)

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Step into the boots of the Doom Slayer and mow down countless deadly demons in one of the most influential first-person shooters of all time. Make your way through rooms full of snarling enemies, find explosive new weapons to even the odds, and restore order to the space station on Mars. 

Released several decades ago, Doom’s gratifying gameplay still holds up today, making the hell-raising hit from 1993 an instant recommendation. 

Play here: Doom

best free web browser games: a large town on the sea in Townscaper

You may already know the simple and relaxing builder Townscaper, as it released in 2021 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and phones. What most people seem to have missed is that developer Oskar Stålberg also made the game available on his own website. a nice gesture that catapults one of the best citybuilders of 2021 straight into our list of the best free web browser games.

This version calls itself a demo, but functionally it works like the full game. In Townscaper, you build a whole town on the water with nothing but a few clicks. You start with a single building and draw pathways and more building onto the water as if by magic. Depending on how high you move the cursor and what direction you move it in, building and sideways will stretch to fit the layout you have in mind. Townscaper is relaxing fun that makes you feel accomplished within minutes, as it's nearly impossible to build something that doesn't look good. And if you decide to support the full game, it is quite affordable on all platforms, too.

Play here: Townscaper

best free web browser games: a tileboard of multiples of 3

Threes! is a numerical puzzle game that’s easy to grasp yet difficult to master. You can either move left, right, up or down, and the goal is to get adjacent and identically-numbered cards to stack on top of one another. The concept has the staying power of the likes of Tetris, unless you hate numbers. It took people years until someone finally beat Threes, and to this days a lot of people are hunting for the highscore.

New tiles are introduced with every turn, so you need to keep stacking tiles or risk running out of room. If the board fills up, it’s game over and you’ll be presented with a final score. 

Play here: Threes!

best free web browser games – a small spelunker ina leafy, green mine

Widely regarded as one of gaming’s greats, Spelunky is just as engrossing as ever when played in a web browser, and thus on our list of best free web browser games. Discover the treasures buried beneath the surface as you battle menacing monsters, cross numerous pitfalls and hoard precious loot. 

This version is exactly right if you want to see what Spelunky is all about before paying for the published version, or if you simply want to fill some time spelunking

Levels are randomized, promising a new experience with each playthrough, making it ideal for speedrunners and those who love beating their highscores alike. A bona fide classic, you definitely need to deep dive into Spelunky.

best free web browser games: a digital Catan board

Catan Universe

Settlers of Catan has established itself as a classic board game ever since its release in 1995. And like most classic board games, it’s made its way to the digital realm. The digital version of Settlers of Catan is called Catan Universe. This free-to-play game sticks close to the original game, letting you expand your settlements and collect resources to win. 

It’s cross-platform so you can jump in on different devices and you can play against other players, even if they’re on a different platform than you. While there are in-game purchases available for expansions and the like, this is a great way to scratch that board game itch, even if you only have your phone available.

Play here: Catan Universe

best free browser games: two colourful worms caught within a larger rainbow-coloured worm with googly eyes

We love Slither.io so much that its fun concept that it's not only one of the best free web browser games, it even made it onto our list of the best battle royale games . Slither.io is a fun and relaxing game that harkens back to the classic mobile game, Snake. 

You collect colorful dots in the quest to become the longest worm, but the introduction of other players brings a more competitive, multiplayer experience to the classic formula. 

If you collide with another player, you’ll lose your ever-growing companion and will have to start the process of consuming dots all over again. Other players will gobble up the dots you leave behind, increasing in size and becoming an even greater threat than before.

best free web browser games: Celeste in a frozen cave, the ground full of spikes

Celeste Classic

Much like Spelunky, Celeste also had its beginnings as a small prototype developed in several days before it became the game many of us know and love today.

Celeste Classic, which you can find on the full game's official website, gives you a short run that ramps up in difficulty quite dramatically, to play again and again until your break is over or you give up, basically a bite-sized, arcade-y version of Celeste's full journey.

For Celeste's third anniversary, the ideas behind Celeste Classic were also expanded upon in Celeste 2: Lani's Track , which was made in a similarly short timespan but comes with a new hero and offers all-new mechanics.

Play here: Celeste Classic

best free web browser games: the logo of Wonderput, featuring several minigold courses intricately combined into one scenery

Wonderputt, a game originally devised as a flash game in 2011, has survived the great flash exodus and is still one of the best free web browser games going. Crucially, the web version is preferable to the app versions of the game, which unfortunately handle terribly.

Unlike its real-life counterpart, Wonderputt is super-easy to play. Just position your cursor to determine the angle and power of your shot, and that’s all there is to it. Wonderputt is the perfect time sink when you’re sipping a cup of coffee and a truly great mini-golf game. 

best free web browser games: A wordle board with different words such as fruit, crack, track

When Wordle first arrived, it took the world by storm. Every player posted their number of attempts for the daily word puzzle on their social media feed, and the word guessing game reached astounding heights of popularity.

Wordle's premise is easy, but it's deceptively difficult to play. You get a board that fits 6 5-letter words. You start by typing a 5-letter word of your choice. Wordle will then tell you if the letters in your word are anywhere in the word of the day, and if they are, whether or not you got their position wrong. The fewer attempts you need to guess the target word, the better you are at the game.

Players would make a science out of guessing the best Wordle starting words , lists of past words were kept meticulously. Ever since The New York Times bought the game and put it on their website, the fervour has cooled somewhat, although the game is still free and, crucially, available without a registration.

By now, music streaming service Spotify has also devised a Wordle-like alternative called Heardle, which plays you a short clip from a song in its library, then makes you guess. sice Wordle isn't only fun but can actually teach you something, putting in a few minutes every day to guess a word isn't only fun, but also a good brain workout, a combination fit for our list of the best free web browser games.

The Chrome Dino game

You can still have fun using Google Chrome even when you’re offline. The Chrome Dino game (as it tends to be called) is a surprisingly charming endless runner, which tasks you with jumping over cacti and dodging low-flying pterodactyls by tapping on the screen. You can play it both on- and offline, simply by typing chrome://dino into Chrome's URL bar.

It’s roaring good fun, and one of the few web browser games that works without an Internet connection. Oh, and it also switches between light and dark mode the further you progress, which is a cool little effect. Can you beat your high score before the next train stop?

Go wild with these 15 safari theme party ideas

A table set for a children’s birthday party with giraffe and lion figurines as centerpieces, green and orange balloons, and party hats at each place setting.

July 29, 2023

Does your little explorer spend all their time slashing through the dense jungle in the backyard with their pretend machete? Or maybe their room looks like a wildlife refuge with all their ferocious stuffed safari animals. If either of those descriptions sounds like your child, then we’ve got the perfect birthday party theme for you.

With a safari theme birthday party , your mini adventurer is guaranteed to have a ferociously good time while also showing off their love for nature. Keep reading for more safari theme party ideas than there are zebras on the savannah.

Plan a journey to the wilderness… or to the backyard

You know that a safari theme birthday party would be perfect for your little animal lover—but what exactly does the party planning look like? There are a ton of exciting options to make this next birthday a special one, both at home or out in the wild. Here are some ideas to add a bit of adventure to your safari birthday party.

1. Visit a local zoo or wildlife center

Zookeepers actually make great party hosts, especially when they bring some of their furry (or scaled) friends for each guest to take a look at. Plus, they often have party rooms you can rent out where the explorers can enjoy safari snacks on-site.

2. Create a backyard safari

In many places, it’s possible to hire an exotic animal handler who will visit your home with their menagerie. Your little adventurer will never forget the birthday they hung out with a boa constrictor!

3. Plan a wild dress code

For your safari theme party idea, encourage guests to show up in animal masks, animal prints, or full-on costumes of their favorite beasts. 

Due to the *nature* of a safari theme birthday party, there’s a good chance that it includes some kind of outdoor element. But what if the weather isn’t cooperative? Hardy adventurers won’t let a little rain or snow stop them… but it might stop your birthday plans. Luckily, there are plenty of fun safari activities you can plan for indoors.

4. Put on a movie

There are so many fun animal movies to choose from. Might we suggest “Madagascar,” “The Lion King,” or “The Jungle Book”?

5. Play some games

Whether you’re playing Monkey in the Middle or Sleeping Lions , plan some fun kids’ birthday party games to have everyone feeling like a true party animal, indoors or out.

6. Create some safari crafts

With a few simple party supplies, you can set up a safari craft station where your young guests can make their own artistic safari animals.

Safari-themed party supplies are available at Paperless Post Party Shop .

Decorations for a wild safari party.

Whether you’re hosting at home or elsewhere, you’ll want the venue to give off serious jungle vibes for your safari-themed party. Seek out garlands and streamers that look like vines, and balloons in varying shades of greens and browns. Some other decoration options to consider include the following.

7. A fun garland to set the mood

Set the mood by inspiring guests to Party like an animal with this decorative garland , featuring an elephant wearing a party hat.

8. An animal-shaped pinata

Fill this cheeta party pinata from Paperless Post Party Shop with treats for the kids to enjoy.

9. Creature-shaped plates

From animal print plates to plates shaped like animals , themed plates help bring your safari theme to life.

10. Animal-inspired costumes

Get into the safari spirit with safari animal print party hats and lion masks .

11. Delightful safari-themed party favors

Thank your guests for a roarin’ good time by sending them home with safari print party bags filled with trinkets like temporary animal tattoos .

Feeding hungry safari explorers (aka partygoers)

Of course, a day spent exploring will leave your guests licking their chops and circling the birthday cake like it’s a water buffalo. So, what kind of food does one serve at a safari-themed birthday bash? Animals eat all kinds of things, but these explorers will probably have a taste for cakes and treats, above all else.

12. The birthday cake

Maybe it’s shaped like your child’s favorite jungle animal or decorated with a scene from the safari of their dreams. Also, some animal candles make the perfect topper. 

13. Cupcake decorating kit

For desserts that can double as an activity, have your guests decorate cupcakes with animal-themed toppers . 

14. Animal tail treats

We love this idea of decorating chocolate-covered pretzel rods to look like tiger tails!

15. Veggies… but shaped like a lion

For a healthy snack, you can make a safari-themed veggie tray by using a dip (like hummus or ranch) as a lion’s face and surrounding it with peppers and carrots to form a lion’s mane.

Wording for an adventurous invite

Once you’ve picked out your favorite safari-themed invites , it’s time to invite your child’s fellow adventurers with the perfect birthday invitations . If you’re more of a Tarzan than a Jane and have trouble choosing the right words, consider the below examples for your kids’ birthday invitations to get those creative juices flowing. 

Welcome to the jungle!

The adventure begins at:

The Best Jungle Party Games for Kids

The Best Jungle Party Games for Kids

Throw your kiddos a wild and crazy jungle, safari or zoo themed party! Whether your kids are into animals, exploration, or both, these party games will be sure to keep them entertained! Get ready to make some monkey noises and have a roaring good time.

Kids Jungle Party

Jungle Party Games

A jungle party is the perfect way to let your wild side shine! From a Jungle Dance off to a fun game of Jungle Scavenger Hunt, you'll be sure to find activities that will liven up any gathering. For an extra touch of fun, why not organize some Karaoke Sing Alongs featuring favorites from Disney movies like The Lion King and Madagascar. Add some decorations such as leaves and vines, and you're ready for a no-holds-barred adventure!

Animal Charades

Before the party, write up some animals on pieces of paper and place them in a hat. Then during the party, divide your guests into teams and have them take turns drawing out an animal name and performing charades until their team guesses correctly. The team with the most correct animal charade  guesses wins!

Explorer Relay Race

At the start of the race, give each kid a plastic bucket. Then they have to run around the “jungle” obstacle course you set up. After they reach their destination, they must find a treasure chest filled with plastic coins or gems and put one into their bucket before running back towards the starting line and passing the bucket to the next person in their team. The game continues until the time runs out. Whichever team has the most gems and coins will be the winners.

Jungle Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of jungle-themed items that need to be found (example: 5 different leaves). Divide your guests into teams or have them compete individually if you prefer. Each team/person gets the same list of items they must find within fifteen minutes or however long you decide. Whoever collects all of their items first wins!

What Animal am I?

Write out some jungle animals onto pieces of paper. Then tape one of these to each player's back. They must now walk around the party and ask yes or no questions in order to figure out what animal they are. The player who guesses correctly first wins!

Jungle Dance-Off

Put on some jungle music and have your guests compete in a dance-off. Have each guest do their best moves while everyone else cheers them on. At the end of the song, the winner can be chosen by who got the most applause. The winner will receive a prize (like a jungle-themed sticker book or a stuffed animal).

Animal Hunt

This game is a favorite especially with younger players. Hide some small stuffed or plastic animals around the party area and have the kids search for them. Or you can put the toy animal into a cute jungle themed bag for the kids to find. Let the kids go and run around to see how many prizes can find.

Kids Jungle Party Prize Bags

Jungle Relay Races

Have everyone line up into two teams and pick one person to be the 'jungle master'. The first person in each team must run to the finish line and back and tag the next player. The catch is that at any time, the Jungle Master can call out an animal and the players running must start acting like the animal that was called out. For example, if they call out 'snake' then the players running must drop to the ground and try to get to the finish line whilst slithering like a snake. If the Jungle Master calls out 'Zebra' then the players running at the time must start galloping like a Zebra.

Catch the Tiger's Tail

Have all players join hands and stand in a line. The person at the front of the line will be the tiger's head and the person at the end will be the tiger's tail. The object of the game is for the person who is the tiger's head to tag the person who is the tiger's tail. The catch is that you are not allowed to let go of each other's hands. This game requires some skill and coordination! The person who is the Tiger's tail must try to avoid being tagged by evading the tiger's head. Once they are tagged, they become the new tiger's head.

Jungle Hula Hoop Race

Divide your guests into teams or have them compete individually. Give each player a hula hoop and have them try to keep the hula hoop on their waist the longest. The player who makes it the longest without dropping their hula hoop wins!

Kids Hula Hoop Race

Jungle Matching Game

Write out a series of jungle-themed words (example: Tiger, Elephant, Monkey) on individual pieces of paper. Make sure to write each word on two pieces of paper. When the game starts each player must try to act out the animal written on their paper and try to find another player acting out the same animal. Players are not allowed to talk, they must use gestures actions to find their match.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Divide your guests into teams of two. One person will be the monkey and the other will be the leader. The objective of this game is for the leader to give commands to the monkey and for the monkey to copy the leader as accurately as possible. 

Feed the Lion

Draw an image of a lion onto a large piece of cardboard and cut out a hole for the lion's mouth. Then hang this up in a tree. Each player will to throw three bean bags at the lion trying to get the bean bags into the lion's mouth.

Hanging Donuts

This is a fun party game that fits with any theme. String up some donuts and set a timer. See who can each their donut the fastest - without using their hands!

Kids donut race

With so many fun jungle-themed party games to choose from, you can make your next party one that guests won't soon forget. Whether it’s Animal Charades, Explorer Relay Race, or Jungle Scavenger Hunt, these exciting jungle themed games will help your kids explore their wild side while having plenty of fun at their next birthday party!

Browser games - Wordle - A word game being played on a phone

Play : Wordle | Developer: Josh Wardle

Wordle took the world by storm, eventually being bought up by the New York Times. If you missed the boat, it's a deceptively simple word game. You have six guesses to figure out a five-letter word. After each guess you're given feedback in the form of yellow and green boxes—yellow for letters that, while part of the secret word, are in the wrong position, and green for letters that are correctly placed. It doesn't take long to play each day's puzzle, and you can brag to friends if you got lucky and nailed it on the first guess.

Letters being arranged in a 5x5 grid.

Play : Sqword | Developer: Josh C. Simmons

Browser word games still feel like all the rage lately and Sqword is one that will really stretch your skills. The goal is to take each letter you're given from the deck and place it in a 5x5 grid to create as many words as possible. Never have I thought so hard about consonant density. This one was popular enough that it even had some sites illicitly lifting it, causing the developer to teach the thieves a bit of a lesson. You can read about that part in the link just below.

Before Hello Games made No Mans Sky, there was the silly stunt platformer Joe Danger. Hello Games revamped the Joe Dagnger games on mobile but then also decided to offer them as free browser games. They take a little bit of time to load up, but the auto run bike tricks are a good time.

Browser games - Townscaper - An aerial shot of a seaside town

Play: Townscaper | Developer: Oskar Stålberg

A stripped-back browser version of the popular indie game. Townscaper is the ultimate desktop toy. If you need something relaxing to play with, there are no complex rules here, and not even that much of a UI—just a color palette and the mouse buttons to let you paint an ocean canvas with your very own seaside vacation spot. There's a simple joy to Townscaper, which is essentially a simple but elegant creativity tool. It's the perfect pick for brief respites with soothing music.

Multiplayer browser games

Catan universe.

Best browser games: Catan Online - board game pieces on a virtual desktop

Play : Catan Universe | Developer: Catan GmbH

A classic board game brought into your browser. Settlers of Catan, now just called Catan, helped usher in the golden age of board games as it grew more and more popular outside of Europe. If you've never played Catan, here's a free opportunity to hate your friends because they won't give you any fucking grain.

Best Browser Games: Agar.io - a whiteboard with different basic colorful shapes

Play : Agar.io | Developer: Matheus Valadares

Though Agar.io looks simplistic with its colored circles on a checker-lined background, it's surprisingly challenging. Your circle starts off very small, but when you eat all of the little colored dots around you, you get bigger. As a small circle, you move quickly and are able to dodge the bigger circles trying to eat you. When bigger, you need larger portions of food. To grow even more, you must eat the other players.

Since smaller players move faster, you can split your circle into two different circles of equal mass. When splitting your circle, the new one will shoot out, which is useful for enveloping the smaller player running away from you. Once a bigger player gobbles you up, you have to restart as the smallest possible dot. The circle of life is brutal.

Isleward 

Best Browser Games: Isleward - isometric view of a grid-based fantasy rpg

Play : Isleward | Developer: Big Bad Waffle

Isleward doesn't look like a multiplayer game at first. It's a low-res roguelike that has you choosing what character you want to play before dumping you on your own into the city of Strathford. In Strathford you get your bearings, learn how to queue up actions and explore. There are also a few low-level monsters that you can find and kill to level up. 

Eventually you'll run into other people and hopefully convince them to adventure with you. A party of different characters is much stronger than one player alone, and significantly more fun. There's a whole world to explore, loads of islands, and lots of loot to find.

Read more: People who argue about the definition of roguelikes are annoying, but what if they're right?

Slither.io 

Best Browser Games: Slither.io - glowing worms on a background of hexes

Play: Slither.io | Developer: Steve Howse

Like Agar.io, Slither.io is about eating small dots (this time ones that glow) to grow bigger. The twist: you're a snake . Your body gets longer as well as slightly wider as you eat the various dots that are littered around. You can't eat your enemies, but if you time it well, you can force another snake to run into your body. This will make them vanish, leaving behind loads of body dots to collect. 

Slither.io also lets you customize the skin of your snake, and there are some awesome options. Consider pimping out your snake with a necklace that dangles as they slither.

Kingdom of Loathing

fun safari games

Play : Kingdom of Loathing | Developer: Asymmetric Publications

Kingdom of Loathing is a sort of pseudo-mmo kind of thing, firmly embedded in the web interface, with drop down menus letting you select your attacks, and page refreshes for every new area. It's a little ugly, but Kingdom of Loathing isn't trying to be pretty. It's trying to be funny, and it's been going strong for years.

Take, for instance, the pun-based classes. The Sauceror flings hot sauce in people's faces, and they get damaged, because hot sauce would really hurt if someone threw it at your face. The Disco Bandits dance at their enemies, fuelled by moxie. And then there's the Haiku Dungeon, where not only are all the descriptions of your enemies in haiku form, but so are your attacks.

The whole game is consistently absurd and amusing, from the enemy types, to the genre conventions it apes so cleverly. And while you can't directly play with other people, you can steal their stuff, join guilds and interact.

If you like Kingdom of Loathing's sense of humor, check out the non-browser cowboy RPG West of Loathing, by the same developers.

Skribbl.io match of a player drawing stairs

Play : Skribbl.io

There are a lot of multiplayer Pictionary-style browser games out there which achieve the basic premise of drawing prompts and guessing them. Skribbl.io is a handy one as it lets you set up a private room without creating an account and includes quite a few custom options like hints, drawing time, number of rounds, and a custom set of words. It has a nice little avatar maker too if you're determined to be a Skribbl.io regular. Of all the many choices out there, Skribbl makes it quite easy to shoot your pals a link to play together without making them jump through hoops.

Pokémon Showdown 

Best Browser Games: Pokemon Showdown - a text box with battling monsters displayed

Play : Pokemon Showdown | Developer: Zarel

If battling trainers is the part of Pokémon games you enjoy, then Pokémon Showdown is for you. This entirely unofficial battle simulator lets you jump straight into matches against other players without having to level up or care for your pocket monsters beforehand. If you die, you don't need to go back to the Pokémon Center and rest up either—you can bounce straight into a new battle. 

Pokémon Showdown lets you battle using either a random or a custom team. You can then quickly go through a match, selecting moves and countering the other trainer. This fast-paced game takes all of the work out of raising pokémon, leaving just the gratuitous pokémon takedowns.

Town of Salem

Best Browser Games: Town of Salem - people in a town square with a ring of houses

Play : Town of Salem | Developer: BlankMediaGames

If you've ever played the party game of betrayal Mafia or Werewolf, or indeed Among Us, then Town of Salem should feel familiar. You're randomly cast as either a townsperson, a neutral, or one of the mafia. If you're a townsperson, you need to track down mafia members and stop them before they kill everyone in town. 

There are many different roles for each category of player with unique abilities to use in the night phase of the game. At night, players plan out their moves and make notes in their will. If they die during the night, the remaining players can use their wills to, hopefully, achieve their goals.

Read more: How Among Us became so wildly popular

Wilds.io 

Best Browser Games: Wilds.io - isometric view of a fantasy battle

Play : Wilds.io | Developer: Rezoner

This hack and slash follows the core principles of the genre: killing people you don't like the look of, and finding loot. There are a bunch of different modes, but the most popular is the default Ruins mode.

Ruins gives you the chance to explore as a member of one of three teams. You can kill other players on different teams, break boxes, and find loot. Armor, potions, and new weapons will help you survive longer in this desert wasteland. Your main objective is to gain bones which appear when people die. If you get enough bones you become the king of the ruins. There are a bunch of other modes, some with shorter times and easier objectives, including soccer. Yes, soccer.

Neptune's Pride

Best Browser Games: Neptune's Pride - a space empire view

Play : Neptune's Pride | Developer: Helmet Games

Neptune's Pride is the epitome of backstabbing, two-faced, genuine human nastiness. Up to eight players start with a few star systems, and then expand outwards, until they meet someone else, and either decide to not kill each other  immediately, or have at it.

It's real-time strategy in the same way that glacier movement is real-time. Because the fleets take hours—sometimes days—to get from star to star, you're left with a good deal of time to play the diplomacy game, trying to cement alliances and sabotage those of your enemies. You try to get them alone and start to gently wear away at their trust, leaving a human-shaped receptacle for suspicion. Before you know it you've got galactic civil war on your hands, and you can mop up the pieces.

Or you could play it like an honorable, decent human being. But where's the fun in that?

9 of the Best Co-op Games You Can Play in Your Browser

David Joz

There are few bonding experiences quite as childishly fun as playing co-operative games with your friends. But if you don’t want to go through the hassle of buying, downloading and installing new games, then you can easily get your gaming fix through your browser.

We’ve put together a list of the best browser-based co-op games you can start playing in a matter of seconds.

Also read: How to Let Your Friends Watch You Play Games on Steam

1. Town of Salem

Everyone’s been at a drunken dinner party where they’ve played Werewolf or Mafia, right? One or two people play the killer, while the rest try to work out who they are. This concept is expanded brilliantly in Town of Salem .

best-co-op-browser-games-town-of-salem

A group of 7 to 15 players are assigned roles such as serial killers, townsfolk, Mafia and dozens of others. No one knows what role another person is playing, so it’s up to the killers to knock people off at night, while the townsfolk try to catch them during the day. It’s a perfect party game where co-operation is essential for survival.

2. Surviv.io

There’s Fortnite, there’s PUBG, and then there’s Surviv.io .

best-co-op-browser-games-surviv-io

Okay, admittedly, that last one is a browser game with super-simple graphics and a top-down perspective, but why should that count against it? It’s still an awesome squad-based Battle Royale shooter where teams of two or four players try to outlast the others.

For those unfamiliar with the Battle Royale concept (where have you been these past two years?), you start with almost no equipment and need to scour a large map for guns, armour and other resources. Then, once you’re stocked up (assuming you’re not dead yet), you head out to hunt down other teams or just hunker down and try to survive.

Last team (or person) standing wins!

3. Gracie & Mike

Something a bit smaller-scale than most of the offerings on here, Gracie & Mike is a 2D run-&-gun platformer that you can actually play with your friends in the same room (if you have gamepads).

best-co-op-browser-games-gracie-mike

Unusually for a 2D platformer, you play the game in split-screen, running through jungles and enemies’ hideouts, all presented with nostalgia-inducing 8-bit graphics. Think of it as a stripped-back version of the arcade classic Metal Slug.

4. Realm of the Mad God

This is another browser game that eventually made it over to a Steam release (which is free to play). Luckily, you can still play Realm of the Mad God for free in your browser, letting you enjoy one of the most intense shooter experiences alongside your friends. (Each instance has an 85-player capacity.)

best-co-op-browser-games-realm-of-the-mad-god

You traverse a vicious fantasy world, fighting increasingly powerful mutations, monsters and bosses while accruing “fame.” Death is permanent here, but you can use your previous character’s Fame points to purchase equipment for your next creation.

It may look simple, but this is a brilliantly designed co-op experience.

5. Devast.io

A gritty survival experience masked in cutesy top-down graphics, Devast.io is an online game set in a post-apocalyptic world where the extent to which you co-operate or go solo is entirely up to you.

best-co-op-browser-games-devast-io

You start by gathering resources from trees and stones while desperately seeking out food, with the aim of eventually building up a self-sustaining base out in the wasteland. There are other players in the world as well as hostile creatures and radiation to worry about.

Do you join up with other survivors and choose to build a better world or just kill them and loot their corpses?

6. Pokemon Showdown

Best Coop Browser Games Pokemon Showdown

Pokemon is one of the most popular gaming series in the history of gaming. It’s only right that a browser version exists to get your Pokemon fix. Enter Pokemon Showdown . This battle simulator ensures that you can train your Pokemon prior to competing in any professional games. Make your own team or pick from random players around the world. What makes Pokemon Showdown even more appealing as a browser game is that it’s good for both children and their parents. Jumping straight into battle is the best part. No long console-level intros – just straight battles. What more do you need with Pokemon?

7. Catan Universe

Best Coop Browser Games Catan Universe

The classic board game has been brought to your browser. Trade, build, gather resources and destroy your friends all without leaving your home. Just like the board game itself, Catan Universe ensures that outsmarting your friends or random opponents is now the name of the game. Do you want to block a tile with the robber? Do you want to play the Seafarers or Cities and Knights campaign? Fire up Discord or a video chat call with your friends and make this an immersive co-op and multiplayer experience.

This one is less about a specific game and more about the itch.io website, which is full of browser-based games that are full of fantastic pick-up-and-play co-op gaming. As of the beginning of June 2021, there are a total of 169 co-op browser games available Games like Guardian Sphere and Life in Quarantine are fantastic choices to kill some time with friends.

Best Coop Browser Games Itchio

The gameplay is simplistic, and you can quit each game without feeling any guilt about having to start over during your next play session. My Rusty Submarine helped me waste over 30 minutes before I even realized I was playing as I struggled to keep my appropriately-named rusty submarine afloat.

9. Powerline.io

Best Coop Browser Games Powerline

If you want to relive the glory days of Nokia phones from decades past, Powerline.io is the game for you. Just like Snake, the game that appeared on Nokia phones, your goal is to compete against players from around the world to “eat” the beams (or cubes) and grow as long as possible. The trick is not to run into any of the other competing snakes, else it’s game over for you. It’s simple, it’s basic and it’s a whole lot of fun.

Of course, games are not the only entertaining digital way to spend time with friends who are far away. You can also watch videos with friends online in real time.

How Do I Decorate For A Safari Party?

Decorating for a safari theme party is going to be a LOT of fun. There are a lot of safari party supplies that can be purchased, as well as using other items found in the dollar store.

Whilst there are some specific party ideas further down the post with decorating ideas, the simplest way to decorate the party space is to stick to the earthy colors. Think of brown, green, yellow, orange and white as a good starting point and it’s easy to build from there.

It is a good idea to create a party backdrop . This can easily be achieved using budget friendly plastic tablecloth’s in your chosen party colors.

Next create some tissue paper garlands to hang around the area and suddenly you already have the perfect jungle feel. Make some vines by twisting together brown craft paper. Add vine and palm leaves to them for extra effect.

Safari Party Food Ideas

Creating theme food adds to the fun and helps to create the jungle atmosphere. For simplicity, stick to finger foods.

Some easy Safari food ideas include:

  • Kids love jello and this is so easy to have available at the party. Stick to jello in safari colors where possible.
  • Have a fruit station. Fruit will always be found on safari, so this is a great excuse to get some healthy food into the kids.
  • It would also be fun to use some vegetables and turn them into animal faces. For example, use carrot sticks to create a lion’s face with drip bowls for eyes, cauliflower for the nose and slices of mushrooms for the mouth. Or perhaps slice a cucumber and lay it out as a snake.
  • Obtain an animal cookie cutter of choice for some fun cookies

Fun Safari Games & Activites

To throw the most awesome Safari party, it’s important to have some games. Examples include:

  • A spin on Simon Says. Instead of saying Simon says, you could say, “The jungle says to swing your arms like an elephant”.
  • Safari animal scavenger hunt.
  • Sleeping lions. Play some music and when the music stops, the kids fall to the ground and lay as still as they can.
  • Jungle Animal Charades
  • Pin the tail on a (Safari animal of choice)
  • Have someone available for face painting an assortment of jungle animal face masks.
  • Create a craft table where the kids can color in jungle animal masks.
  • Make a pair of binoculars by taping two toilet rolls together and fixing some string to the ends so they can hang around the children’s necks.
