What Are Friv Games and How Can You Play Them?

Have you been hearing about a new website called Friv? A website that offers a huge number of games for free?

If so, and you have not been to Friv as yet, you may be wondering about the type of games the site offers and if you should play them. 

Friv is browser-based -- Many people do not like to play games online as they often require downloading applications that are resource heavy or that give your computer a virus.

Friv is different. Friv is browser-based, which means you do not have to download anything to be able to play its games. Instead you just go to the Friv website and click on one of the games.

An ad will pop up and play, followed by the game you have chosen beginning to load. Loading times vary depending on the games you choose, but most load in a minute or less. Once loaded, you can play a Friv game for as long as you want, or until you complete the game.

How does Friv provide games for free? -- Unlike many sites that charge for the games they provide, Friv does not.

Instead, Friv is able to pay for all of their operating costs and make a profit out of the advertising they run.

All you have to do to support Friv is to either let the video ads play before playing a game, or click on one of the ads on the site. This helps Friv keep providing the games you enjoy playing. 

How often can you play on Friv? -- There is no time limit to the games you can play. You can play for an hour, three hours or five days, Friv does not care. Just be sure to let their ads play to help support them.
