10 Games Not Blocked at School

Which games aren’t blocked at school? With the increasing sophistication of school internet filters, it’s becoming harder and harder to answer that question, especially since blocked games vary from school to school.

However, some kinds of games are much less likely to get blocked than others. Here’s a list of ten games you should try out!

1. Minesweeper

You can find classic games like Minesweeper on games sites all over the internet. If the above URL does not work, try typing “JavaScript Minesweeper” into Google and try out the results. Because games developers don’t need to use flash to create games like Minesweeper, your school will not detect any flash games on the page – so they could easily not be blocked!

2. Sudoku

Sudoku puzzles might sound boring, but they’re worth trying out to see if you like them. There are almost certainly going to be some Sudoku sites not blocked by your school – have a search on Google and try some of the sites it lists.

Tetris is one of the most famous games in the world, and it is available on the internet in abundance. Type ‘Tetris’ into Google. You’re almost guaranteed to find at least one Tetris site your school doesn’t block, simply because there will be so many of them.

10. Minecraft

Minecraft is a great free game you can play at school. If you can’t access the Minecraft website at school, you can download a dedicated client for the game at worldofminecraft.com at home, and run it off a memory pen (or some other storage device) at school.
