Pogo

Best For: Hasbro and PopCap games

Adobe Flash: Required for select games online

Types of Games: Online (computer browser) and mobile (phone/tablet browser)


To play games on Pogo.com, you’ll need to sign in with your EA (Electronic Arts) account or create one for free. Once you’ve signed in, you’ll see a variety of games available in categories including board games, card games, hidden object games, poker games, puzzles and more.

If you use an ad blocker, you may be asked to disable it before playing select games on Pogo. While there were video ads before games and during breaks in gameplay, they didn’t significantly hinder the experience for me. You can sign up for a paid membership that offers ad-free gameplay, but it isn’t necessary to enjoy the site.

The games on Pogo that don’t require Adobe Flash are also available on mobile devices and tablets. Unfortunately, some games are only available as free trials and require users to pay to continue playing. Still, there are tons of completely free options that make Pogo a free gaming website worth a visit.
