Note that they do require Flash, though. While it looks like you are working on a weekly planning spreadsheet, you are actually playing a puzzle game in Crash Planning. Swap colored blocks to make a combination of three or more in a row or column.
This eliminates the blocks and scores points, but you only have limited time, so work fast. Similar to Crash Planning , Cost Cutter looks like a spreadsheet and requires you to match blocks. But, this time you match two or more blocks of the same color in a bar chart-style puzzle.
Matches remove blocks from the sheet, but more keep coming from the left side. Your game is over when the data reaches the end of the chart on the right and falls off. Alternatively, if your coworkers can see you and not your computer screen, these games are for you. Look like you are hammering away on your keyboard as you actually type your way through a game on TypingZone. While many of these games are intended for children , there are a couple to challenge adults.
Typing Attack. Take out the incoming spaceships with keystrokes in Typing Attack. As the ships enter the screen, just type the words they carry to blow them away. The game has easy, normal, and expert levels of difficulty.
So, not only will you type to score, but might just get faster at your keyboarding skills too. Typing Racer. Typing Racer is a challenging game where you control your car using the words displayed. To move your racer to another lane, just type the word in that lane. And, you must continue typing words to keep your race car moving whether you switch lanes or not. When the stupid games come to an end and you want some serious battles with your coworkers, go mobile.
These fun multiplayer games are asynchronous, so your opponent can take their turn when they have time. If you enjoy Words with Friends , then check out the upbeat Word Chums. With the same type of Scrabble gameplay, you take turns creating words to score. This game is different from Words with Friends in that it has a lively theme with cute characters called Chums that you can customize.
You can choose an opponent from your Facebook friends, contact list, or by searching with their username or email. Score for longer words or by using letters with a high point count. For a fun Yahtzee- style game, check out Dice with Ellen. Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, the game brings enjoyable gameplay and a bit of humor. Take turns rolling for high scores in the ones, twos, and threes as well as the full house and three-of-a-kind categories.
Search for opponents by username or connect and play with Facebook friends. You can also have the game find you a match online or play a local pass-and-play game.
One more game that's awesome to play at work is office bingo. Cover the bingo card with phrases your boss says or activities happening at work that day. Either way, this one is as entertaining as it is silly.
Check out mobile bingo games for more. While there are many variations, this Office Bingo card from ChairOffice gives you options to shuffle the squares. You can play online, but not with multiple people. So, just print the card, make copies, and hand them out to your coworkers. The person they send their question to must respond to that question with another question. For example, "Did you see that weird dog out there? If someone slips up and answers with a non-question, they lose a point.
The players can decide whether to start the game over when someone slips or to keep following through the list of players. Each player will need access to a simple drawing program. The person starting the game will begin the drawing by adding a single line or shape.
It doesn't have to be a straight line. They will save the file as a JPG since this is a fairly universal format and doesn't take up a lot of space and attach it to an email for the next artist. The next person will open the picture in their art program and add onto it. For example, one person could draw a circle, and the next person could turn it into an eye. This continues until there is a consensus that the picture is complete. My mission was to dock in Balmoral on the planet Shiloh and issue a special action applying for the job as courier for the reserach labs of EEM Balmoral.
When you play games via email you hardly ever know your partner personally and you cannot control how fast the game will progress. The advantage is that you can sit down and continue with your moves whenever you have time. Image credits: lusi. Thinking about switching from Windows to Linux?
