OUR FAVORITES

Family Team-Up!

Great games for parents and kids.

The kids just want to play videogames? Maybe it’s time you joined in! Try these six on for size.

Complete fun mini-games to keep the ship running. Can you outwork the Impostors?

Don’t act sus!

There’s a murderer on the loose—and in the uproarious social deduction game Among Us!, it might be you!

Guide blobby Crewmates around a spaceship while completing science-y tasks. The catch? At least one player is an Impostor, who tries to off the crew without being discovered. It’s loaded with playful misdirection, finger-pointing, and edge-of-your-seat fun—and with games that support up to 15 players, it’s perfect for families of any size!

A colorful, cartoony art style gives virtual UNO! added pizzazz.

Uno, but duo

The iPhone and iPad version of this timeless card game packs a great twist: 2v2 mode. Team up with your child and play against another duo online.

Playing together deepens the strategy too. See your partner’s hand and plan ahead to ensure that one of you wins the round! Whether you play with classic rules or set up your own custom matches, don’t forget to shout “Uno!” (and tap the Uno button) when you’re down to your last card.

Every Roblox experience is unique.

A chip off the old blox

Slay dragons. Race cars. Solve a mystery. If you can dream it, you can play it on Roblox.

The popular online platform is bursting with exciting experiences that kids and parents can explore cooperatively. Perhaps you’ll raise virtual pets and decorate homes in Adopt Me! or zip kicks around the pitch in Super Striker League. With simple controls, deep customization, and endless possibilities, it’s a world of fun anyone can enjoy.

Family Style whets your appetite for group gastronomy.

Everyone’s a chef

Have at least two people and two devices handy? Family Style: Co-op Kitchen cooks up laugh-out-loud fun.

Up to eight players are given a random assortment of ingredients, turning meal prep into frenzied shenanigans. Need to whip up avocado toast but only have a slice of bread on your screen? Send it to whoever has the skillet and request an avocado pronto! As everyone races to fill orders, the action gets chaotically hilarious.

Don’t mind this Minecraft brute. Maybe he just wants a pumpkin?

Build bigger

A gaming staple for millions, Minecraft is a family gaming go-to. Wielding virtual chunks of wood, stone, and other materials, you scamper around a blocky virtual landscape and piece together whatever you can imagine—castles, amusement parks, underground hideouts, spaceships, you name it. And with a few devices on hand, it’s easy to set up brand-new worlds for the family to explore and create together.

“It’s furry with big cheeks!” Heads Up! Kids’ wordless puzzles will have the whole family spouting hints.

Ahead of the pack

Do your kids love making funny sounds? Give ’em a good reason to oink at you with Heads Up! Kids, a family-friendly take on Ellen DeGeneres’ party-game masterpiece, Heads Up!

Hold your iPhone to your forehead so other players can see the object that appears on the screen. Brace yourself for belly laughs as they shout out clues to help you guess what it is (a pig, clearly, with all that oinking).
