UNO
No longer do you need to search for the pack of UNO cards before heading to your friend’s place to chill. This classic game is now available on Messenger.
The game: There are five different gameplay modes. Quick Play follows the traditional UNO rules and gameplay, while 2v2 mode allows users to team up with a friend in a two-on-two match. Room mode allows users to host a room of four players, and they need to be your Facebook friends. The fourth mode is Go Wild, where you have more action cards, higher multipliers, and win or lose coins. In this mode you can also use Discard All cards, when you want to discard all of the cards in your hand of the same colour. The Fun Rules mode has a set of rules that changes every week.

MASTER ARCHER
Love archery? This is just the game for you — it certainly helps you to aim better.
The game: In this game, the archer uses a longbow to shoot at the fruits placed on top of a boy’s head. With every passing round aiming the arrows gets tougher. You can challenge your friends with your high score.
SWIPE BASKETBALL
Why hit the field in this heat when you can shoot some hoops sitting at home?
The game: Challenge yourself to aim at the hoop and score a basket. Use your finger, swipe to shoot the basketball. The game gets more challenging after you score 10 points. The basket begins moving from side to side as you shoot and with time it speeds up.
SNAKE
Remember the Snake game on Nokia handsets? It’s back on Messenger.
The game: You get to select the speed of the game. The Snake has to eat as many apples as it can without hitting the walls or bumping into its own tail. Also, the length of the snake grows over time, making the game more challenging.
SNAKE MANIA
Compete with people from all corners of the world and see yourself as the number one on the leaderboard.
The game: One has to get the highest score in a limited time to make their way up the various ranks and tiers in the competition. You can compete against your friends, earning diamonds and unlocking new ‘skins’. There are three modes — Time-Limited, Team-Fight and Infinite.
There are random beans and fruits for you to munch on and grow. Kill other snakes by making them crash into you and then you can turn around and start eating all of the beans that appear when a snake dies.
8 BALL POOL
Find your competitive side in 8 Ball Pool. How cool would it be to play against your distant friends?

DAILY SUDOKU
Just the puzzle to play over a cup of coffee.
The game: As usual, the game comes with three options — easy, intermediate and hard. What makes this version cool is tapping on a number highlights where you have already placed it on the board.
