Every game below runs in a browser from its official site, so nobody in your group has to install anything to join. Where the game's own homepage says something about playing with friends or about accounts, we quote it word for word; we don't guess. The status light next to each name is our latest check. For a strict list of games whose sites say both “with friends” and “no account”, see play with friends, no account.

Tips for a smooth game night

Share the official URL rather than an “unblocked” mirror site, so everyone lands on the same, current version.
Pick a host to create the room and paste the invite link into your chat.
Most of these pair well with a separate voice call.
