Online Games

We can all do with some fun at times, so SeniorSpace has searched for some of the best games available on the internet. Choose from the selection below. Have fun!

Block and Roll

A fun and addictive game that requires a good amount of strategy, patience and lateral thinking. Use your keyboard to manoeuvre a brick around each level until you can fit it through a hole in the floor. Be careful not to fall off the edges!

Checkers

Have fun playing this game of checkers against the computer or a friend. Click on the piece you want to move with your mouse and then click on the square you would like to move it to. The pieces move forward diagonally one square at a time, and if you manage to have one reach the other side of the board, it becomes a 'king' that can move backward and forward. Jump over your opponent's pieces to move them from the board. The last player to have any pieces remaining is the winner!

Crossword

If you love crossword puzzles and Scrabble, you will enjoy this game as well. Click on the empty squares, and then select letters from the menu on the left to form words. You can change the letters at any time, and you will need to experiment to find all of the correct words. Once you do, you advance to more difficult levels.

Daily Crossword Puzzle

Every day we provide a new crossword puzzle for you to complete. Best of luck!

I Love Traffic

A simple yet addictive and fun game, you alter the flow of traffic by switching traffic lights between red and green. It gets progressively harder as the levels go on. You also receive bits of trivia between levels as a reward for your progression.

The Shell Game

This game will test your eyesight and speed of thinking. Place your bet and watch which shell has the ball. Click on the right shell to win the bet.

Sushi Sudoku

Sudoku has become popular around the world, but it was first popularised (and renamed) by the Japanese back in 1986. This game recognises this fact by drawing on a Japanese theme. You can use numbers, Japanese characters or even pictures of sushi when playing! There are different levels of difficulty, so for those new to the game you can get in plenty of practice with easy games. You can even ask for hints or press the 'undo' button if you make a mistake!

Tennis

Be warned, you need to have fast fingers and good reflexes to do well at this game! Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the player, and then press the space bar to hit the ball. You also use the space bar to serve the ball. When hitting the ball, use the arrow keys to direct the shot. As in the real game, footwork is the key to success – start running toward the direction of the return shot to hit it in time. Practice in exhibition matches before beginning a tournament. Good luck!
