Game Shows Online

Family Feud, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Sound familiar? Yes folks, these are some of the most talked about and popular game shows. Even though some of the game shows have gone off the air, they are still one of the favorite shows for many. I remember when I was little, I used to watch Family Feud with my grandmother. She used to try so hard to get the first word on the board. Seeing that game on television, I would always cry in front of my parents and ask them to take me on it someday. But, as luck would have it, it didn't really go as I had planned. Even some of my childhood friends were crazy about it, and that gave us an idea of making our own Family Feud version. We would play that game for hours together and win pretend prizes. Well, all that was in the past and those games are long gone. But the other day, as I was searching for some online games to play on the computer, guess what? I actually found some online game shows.

I really couldn't believe my eyes that these long-forgotten games are available to play on the Internet. So what I did after that is probably not a mystery to anyone (considering I was rambling here about how I always wanted to play them for real). I turned my laptop on, searched for these online game shows, and immediately started playing them. It was probably like more than 2 hours later that I got up from my place and (tried) to get back to work. But it was the most fun I had in a very long time, and these games brought back some forgotten memories from my past. Perhaps you too loved these actual game shows and are searching the online versions of them. Well, in this article, we will tell you which games are available online, what are they all about, how it is played, and where to find these online game shows.

Play Game Shows Online

The best thing about these free online games, some are free trials and some you have to purchase, is that you get to play them and not just watch. These online game shows are extremely fun, great for passing time when bored, and very, very addictive (trust me). So turn your laptops/computers and prdpare yourselves for some fun.

Family Feud
If you have seen this game on television, then you know what kind of questions are asked. For example, the questions could be like "Name the loudest animal in the zoo", "Name something a woman might leave a lipstick mark on", or "Name a country that begins with the letter S."

Of course, there are many possible answers to these questions and to find the top response will get you the maximum points. So to play this game online, all you have to do is go to any website that caters these online game shows, register (only if you're 18 and over), and play for free, without any downloads. The only downfall is that there are too many casino ads coming in-between games that ruins the mood.


Wheel of Fortune
Are you feeling lucky? This game boils down to your luck and nothing else. Turn the wheel and see what your luck can strike. To play this game, you don't even have to register. But make sure you have Windows and Internet Explorer before you begin. In addition to the online version, you can also purchase its mobile version to play.

Weakest Link
You remember this British game show, don't you? I remember it specifically for the hostess, Anne Robinson. Her very famous line on the show "You are the weakest link...goodbye" still echoes in my head. And since this is the British version, your online game will consist of pound sterling and not dollars (although you don't actually win anything, it's fictitious). The goal of this game is to answer as many questions as you can correctly and reach the 1000 pound mark in the allotted time. Make the chain with 9 correct answers; but if you give 1 wrong answer, you will break the chain and have to start all over again.

Jeopardy
Do you love trivia games? Well Jeopardy has intelligent trivia questions on history and geography, arts and literature, science, sports, pop culture, and so much more. To play the game, you can download the 60 minute trial version first. You can purchase the mobile version as well.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Let's Play Who Wants to be a Millionaire? To play this game, you get 30 seconds to answer the questions given and move further up the scoreboard. You won't get any actual prizes, but it's definitely fun to pretend. Similar to the original game, you will get 3 lifelines: 50/50, Phone a Friend, and Ask the Audience. Get ready to answer some awesome questions.

You can also include your family, along with kids to play these online game shows. As they have no adult content and are safe for kids, they make perfect choices for free online games for kids. So what are you waiting for? Get online and start playing.
