Best Snapchat Games and how to play them
As we have mentioned, there are more than 50 games to play on Snapchat. Obviously, there are some games that are not enjoyable enough to spend your time on. So here is a shortlist of a few games you might enjoy.
#1 Hex FRVR
Many of us grew up playing Tetris during our childhood. If you want to relive those days, Hex FRVR is the perfect game for you. It is a very similar game where you are given a hexagonal plate and different shapes of blocks.
You will get three options of blocks to choose from (sometimes you get the same block on multiple options).
Place those blocks to fill up a straight line to earn points. If you misplace the blocks and do not have any place left to put the new blocks, time to play again because it’s game over!
#2 Zombie Rescue Squad
If you are less of a puzzle person and more of a shooting game enthusiast, the zombie rescue squad might be the perfect game for you.
In this game, you have to shoot zombies and rescue survivors by staying close to them. There are in-game items such as medicine and weapons to help you in your battle against the zombies.
The player automatically shoots the zombies when they are in range. So it’s all up to how well you can navigate your player.
#3 Tiny Royale
With battle royales on the rage in recent times, tiny royale is here to give you a miniature battle royale experience on Snapchat.

Each match has up to 30 players and you can form squads with up to four players.
#4 Trivia Party
This one is for all the nerds and quizzers out there! As the name suggests, you take part in trivia questions as per your interest.
You can choose from many topics and take part in trivia regarding them by yourself or with a friend. First-round starts with 64 players with half the players being eliminated each round. You can also make your own questions once you reach level 5.

The animal restaurant is a game exactly like its name suggests. Here you run a restaurant for animals of all kinds. You take their order and they will pay you in Cod, the in-game currency.
You can use it to upgrade your restaurant, hire staff and do many more similar activities. While most of the customers are good for your business, there are a few like the rabbit or the skunk who will do harm to your business.
If you want a stress-free and uplifting gaming experience on Snapchat, this is definitely the one for you.

#13 Ready Set Golf
Ready Set Golf is a golf game where you slide the ball to shoot it towards a linear trajectory and reach the hole. The golf course includes obstacles like pools and bouncing walls.

On your way toward the finishing line, you will be faced with many obstacles. You have to stop at certain points, you will need to time your jumps with precision to avoid obstacles and move towards distant platforms and so on.
So if you like playing games that challenge your reflex, Crazy Run should definitely be on your list.
#23 Sliders

You can also challenge your friends to beat your time record and the number of required moves.
#24 Swipeout
Swipeout is another obstacle-avoiding racing game where you have to swipe around to avoid the obstacles set in your way.
The difference between Swipeout and other games is that Swipeout is not limited to just jumping, crouching, and 3 lanes. Rather it has a more flexible set of movements which makes it even more challenging.
#25 Sling Racers
Sling Racers is a reach the finishing line type of game where you have to complete your race track by slinging on different points.
You can sling on these points by tapping on your screen when you are close to them. If you hold the screen then you will keep slinging.
