What app games can you play with friends?
Honestly, it really depends on the kind of games you are in the mood for! I know that personally, I like to play word games with friends or small strategy games that involve cards. THINKING games. But the apps to play with friends that you decide on might be different.
While I like to play action and adventure games on my own, I don’t usually lean towards them when playing multiplayer games with friends. I prefer to do that on my own.
But I LOVE to see how I compare with my friends when it comes to LEVEL up games. There is something so FUN when a friend passes you on the board or vice versa. Makes me crazy! LOL!
How do you play multiplayer on iPhone?
In order to play multiplayer games, you have to enable a setting in your Game Center first. Open your iPhone settings and hit GENERAL and then RESTRICTIONS. Then enter your password.
Now, all you have to do is scroll down to where it says “Multiplayer Games” and slide it ON. This will allow you to connect with other people online.
What About App Purchases?
Listen, you don’t have to commit to the app purchases? I never do! The only game that I ever spent an incredible amount of money on was World of Warcraft. Other than that, it’s best to just wait it out.
And if a game gets too expensive, find a new game. I leave when it looks like I have to spend money to continue. I HATE THAT. In real life, I wouldn’t spend money to walk forward, why would I do that in a game.
There are plenty of apps to play with friends that don’t break the bank.
What other games are like Words With Friends?
I love Words with Friends and I didn’t include it in this list because I feel like everyone is already playing it. If you are looking for similar games that have the same vibe, check out these options.
- Letterpress
- Word Connect
- Boggle (see above)
- WordBrain
- Wordscapes
- Word Cookies
Grab a girlfriend and your mobile devices and get clicking! Then the next time you meet up, you can talk about your highest score. PS – here’s my blog post about fun places to go with friends.
Personally, I use gaming as a way to destress. It is such a relaxer for me – even multiplayer mode! I wind down every single night with my favorite apps and it quiets my mind and shuts every thought off. An absolute necessity for me which is a lot of fun.
How often do you game? What do you think about my apps to play with friends list? Did you favorites make the cut? Players gaming = my favorite subject. Would love to know!
