Unlike the other websites listed so far, you’ll have to create an account in order to play on Big Fish Games. Still, creating an account is easy and free. You’ll simply need to enter your email address and create a password.

You’ll find access to thousands of free online games in categories such as hidden object games, casino games, adventure games, puzzles, strategy games, card & board games, family games, and more. While many full versions are available for free, some games require a paid membership for full access.

While there are ads on this website, most of the ones that I saw were for the paid membership that Big Fish Games offers as opposed to Google Ads. As I played through several games on the website, I never felt that the ads interfered with gameplay or user experience.

In addition to free online games, you’ll find PC games, Mac games, iPad & iPhone games and Android games available for download.

Pros:

• Downloadable games are available

• New and classic games in a variety of genres

• Few ads
