Play a variety of popular games
Interested in some action-packed gameplay? This playlist has a ton of options to choose from! Coolmath Games has so many exciting games to play, such as Copter Royale, Moto X3M, and Awesome Tanks. Any one of these games will have you glued to your screen as you play the high-speed gameplay. Explosions, fast reactions, intense gameplay, what’s not to love!
Strategy games are scattered throughout the Popular Games playlist as well, with games like Learn to Fly, Poptropica, and Bloxorz being some notable ones. All of these games require some patience to play, and you’ll have to set aside some time to beat all of them (especially Poptropica, we advise not trying to beat that game in one day). These popular strategy games are all challenging in different ways, but the common denominator is that you will have to take your time to think about the best choice to make. Every single one of these games can be beaten, it will just take some mulling over.
At the end of the day, the important thing is that you have a fun time playing our games. Whether you are swinging from a vine on Swing Monkey or sneaking into the Mayor’s building in Bob the Robber, we hope that you have a great time playing one of our games from the Popular Games playlist, like so many others have before. So go get playing, and make sure to give the games a thumbs up if you enjoyed them!
https://www.coolmathgames.com/1-classic-games - classic games | free fun old games
Looking for a pen and paper game, a board game, or a digital arcade classic? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re in the mood for Checkers, Chess, Snake, or Asteroids, this collection of free, fun classic games will take you back to the good old days.
Some of you may be asking a very basic question – why even play these games? They don’t have great graphics and the concepts are fairly simple. However, these games have lasted for decades for a reason – they’re just super fun to play! Classic games have a certain kind of charm about them that is hard to replicate. In a world where most games try so hard to look polished and perfect, playing a game with a simple concept that you can learn in a few minutes is such a nice switch-up. Along with this, the art style of many of these classic games is unique and cool in its own way. Sure, something like Snake may not be an awesome 3-D game with tons of different skins and effects, but it doesn’t need those. It’s a simple game that you can learn in 30 seconds, and play for hours.
With that being said, just because games may look simple does not mean that they are always easy. Take Retro Space Blaster for example. While the concept of simply blasting down asteroids to save the galaxy is simple, executing this properly is actually pretty difficult. Players must traverse through the map while avoiding asteroids from every direction, while also having aliens and various other beings headed straight toward them. With all of these variables going on, Retro Space Blaster provides a real challenge to the players. Other classic games are not so easy either, including games like Chess, Minesweeper, and Mahjong. All of them provide challenges but end up being tons of fun to play once you take the time to learn them. For some explanations and rules on these games, go to our Coolmath Games Blogs to learn more about them.
No matter what game you click here, we’re sure that you will have a great time. After all, they are classic games for a reason. No matter how old they get, people come back to them for the entertainment value that they provide.

Up for a challenge? Challenge a friend across the table or the country to a game of Chess or Checkers. Or test your wits against hundreds of other players in Powerline.io or Copter Royale. These are among some of the most competitive games on Coolmath Games, and we think that you’ll really enjoy playing these if you’re up for some competition. Come and see how you compare to our other participants in Coolmath Games.
Multiplayer games are a great way to improve your skills at a game, as you are playing incredibly good competition. The best and fastest way to improve at a game is to play people who are better than you, and games, where you are playing against real people, are great at doing just that. For example, a bot in the game Four in a Row may become easy after a while, especially if you have read our tips and tricks in our Four in a Row blog here, but if you play against real people then you will see all kinds of new and clever strategies that you can learn about. This exposure to different strategies will push you to be a better player.
What makes a game a multiplayer game?
To be a multiplayer game, it needs to have at least two players able to play it. To play multiplayer games on our website, Coolmath Games connects players using the internet. While most of the multiplayer games are 1 on 1 games such as Chess and Checkers, some others have several different players across the world playing at the same time.
What about .io games?
On our multiplayer games playlist, we have several games that require tons of players to be playable. Some good examples are Copter Royale and Powerline.io. While these games have mostly real people, we add in some very lifelike bots if the lobbies aren’t full enough. This ensures that you will always find a game quickly, even if you are playing at a time when hardly anyone is online and playing these games.

9 useful math games for kids and their parents
If you have already downloaded the useful apps recommended by Alexander Markellov, a math teacher at Khoroshkola and the founder of the Mathematical Paths project, then it's time to take a closer look at simple math games. The great thing is that they will come in handy on a walk, in a traffic jam, and on a Saturday evening.
1. "Signals"
Age: 3–5 years old
Develops counting skills and the ability to concentrate.
This is a game for the little ones and it is very enjoyable because it is easy to play on the road or on the street. When you go hand in hand with a child, you simply press his palm, and he must count how many times you pressed. Then you can change.
2. “Then jump!”
Age: 6–10 years old
An especially good game when you are walking somewhere with your child and you need to entertain him. The game is more about attention, but it also tells something about the property of numbers. The rules are simple: even - clap your hands, divided by three - jump, and if there are 7 in the number - say "Ulyul". The more signs to track, the more difficult the game.
3. "Fly"
Age: 6–14 years old
Develops attention and spatial thinking.
To explain the game, we need a drawn 3 by 3 square. In the center of the square we need to put a dot, it will be a “trained fly”. You give the fly the commands "up", "down", "right", "left", it executes them.
After you have explained the rules, you need to ask the child to imagine a field and a fly on it. Now you will order her how many cells and in which direction to move. The child must imagine these movements. If the fly went out of the field, he must clap - this means that he caught it and this is his victory. And if you didn’t slam, then the fly flew away and you won. Change roles after each game.
Changing the difficulty level. You can make the field larger or even turn it into a three-dimensional one. For example, a 3x3x3 cube. You can also give a series of commands without pauses. For example, down - up - right - down.
4. "Danetki" with mathematical concepts
Age: 6–12 years old
Develops categorization of concepts.
You guess any mathematical concept. For example, "circle" or "number 10". And the child asks questions to which you can answer either “yes” or “no”. Here, of course, there are endless possibilities for the level of complexity.
5. Bulls and Cows
Age: 7–99 years old
Develops logical thinking
This is a number guessing game. The participants in the game think of four-digit numbers and write them down on their sheets. All the numbers that make up the guessed numbers must be different from 1 to 9. The task of the players is to determine the number of the opponent by asking questions in turn. To ask a question means to name some four-digit number, all the digits of which are different.
If the conceived and named numbers have a common figure in the same place, then this situation is called "Bull" (denoted by "B").
For example: the number 5739 is conceived, the enemy calls the number 1234. The number "3" in both the first and second numbers is in third place. In this case, the answer is "One bull" ("1B").
If the conceived and named numbers have the same digits, but they are in different places, then this situation is called "Cow" (indicated by "K").
For example: the number 5739 is conceived, the enemy calls the number 3456. The numbers "3" and "5" are the same, but are in different places. In this case, the answer is "Two
cows" ("2K").
Having heard the question, the player must carefully compare it with the planned number and correctly name the number of “bulls” and “cows”. The winner is the player who managed to guess the opponent's number in fewer questions. To avoid disputes, write down not only the opponent's answers, but also your answers to him in a separate column.
An example of a game where the player thought of the number 2534.
Changing the difficulty level: to make it easier, you can think of a three-digit number or use only numbers from 1 to 5.
6. Tic-tac-toe 5 by 5
Age: 7–12 years old
Develops logical and spatial thinking.
The playing field is a square 5 by 5 cells. Two are playing. The first puts a cross in any cell, the second puts a zero. The winner is the one who puts three in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Changing the difficulty level: there is 3D tic-tac-toe, and the field can also be infinitely large.
7. Guess the number
Age: 8–99 years old
Develops logical thinking.
I think almost everyone has played this game. You guess any number from 0 to 100 (the range can vary depending on age). The child must guess it in the least number of attempts. After each guess, you say whether your number is greater or less.
It is important that the child finds the most efficient way to guess by himself - it is not very difficult (break into equal ranges, i.e. 50, 25, 13, etc.). Therefore, when you switch roles, it is better to guess the number with the wrong strategy.
Difficulty change: You can agree that you have one or more opportunities to lie. The task immediately becomes much more difficult, as soon as you are allowed to write down answers and reason together.
8. "Black box"
Age: 8-99 years old
Develops logical thinking and helps to understand dependencies.
You think of some function. For example, x + 6. The child tells you a number, for example 5. You substitute his number into your function: 5 + 6 = 11, and tell him the answer is 11. Then the child says another number. For example, 9, you answer him what you did. In our case, it will be 9 + 6 = 15. The child must guess what you are doing with his number, that is, understand what function you have guessed. Then you can change.
Changing the difficulty level: you can think of very different functions, for example x ⋅ (x - 1), and if the child is older than 6-7th grade, then you can build a graph using these points and at the same time see the properties of the graphs of the function.
9. Signs of divisibility
Age: 9–13 years old
It's not really a game, but I used to love doing it as a kid. There are interesting signs of divisibility. For example, if the difference between the sum of digits in even places and the sum of digits in odd places is divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11. Or, in other words, if the alternating sum of digits is divisible by 11, then the number itself is divisible by 11. Or if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, then the whole number is divisible by 9.
I looked for numbers on the street and checked what they were divisible by. For example, I liked checking if the car number is divisible by 11. I think it is possible to offer the child to explore the world around him in this way and see if he likes it or not. Such games are easy to invent yourself. While I was writing the text, one of my colleagues came up with a similar game.
