From Slingo to Neopets, Sims, mobile apps and World of Warcraft – there’s a form of online gaming for everyone. 

Gaming was once incredibly niche but in the last ten years or so, it’s become very mainstream. There are all sorts of games to suit different tastes now and it’s a great hobby that helps you to relax in your spare time. There are some great games out there with vast worlds that you can get lost in, but that’s not always what you’re looking for. If you’re taking a quick break at work or you’ve got a spare 5 minutes, you haven’t got the time to get into a big game. But there are some great games that you can play online in just 5 minutes, and a lot of them are free.

Casino Games

If you’re looking for a quick thrill online, look no further than casino games. You might not be able to get down to a real casino but sites like Livedealer.org offer the next best thing. You can play roulette, poker or blackjack on there for real money. They’re all quick games and you don’t need to put loads of money in to play so they’re ideal for a quick 5 minute break. Just be sensible when you’re gambling and don’t make a habit of playing all of the time.

Geoguessr

Geoguessr is a great little idea for a game that might sound pretty dull on the face of it, but as soon as you start playing, you’ll be hooked. The idea is simple, you get showed a random street somewhere in the world of Google street view and it’s your job for you to guess whereabouts you are. The closer you are to the real location, the more points you get. It’s as simple as that and you can play in seconds, but you can easily end up spending hours on there so be careful.

Dicewars

If you’ve ever played the board game Risk, you’ll know that it’s good fun for about 10 minutes before it starts to get boring. It lasts forever and most of the time the game gets abandoned halfway through because everybody has lost interest. That’s why Dicewars is so great. It’s like a quick, simple version of Risk that you can play on your computer in 10 minutes.

Snake

Mobile games are massive these days and most people have loads of them downloaded on their phones right now. But in the early days of mobile phones, you were limited to the games that were put on there for you. That was bad news, unless you had a Nokia phone because then you had the classic game Snake on there. This timeless classic is still available as a web browser game that you can play at any time at playsnake.org. The controls are simple enough for anybody to pick up and it only takes 5 minutes to have a quick game when you’re on a break.

If you’re looking for some great games that you can pick up and play in 5 minutes, any one of the ones on this list will do perfectly. Just make sure you don’t get sucked in for too long.
