The Facebook Messenger app for Android and iPhone is one of the most downloaded in the stores because it is necessary for Facebook chat from a mobile phone, but it is also one of the most hated, because it is heavy and capable of slowing down the performance of cheaper or older phones. The fact remains, however, that Facebook is aiming hard to make its Messenger something that is not only a simple app for chatting, but a real platform in which to use other apps (in the form of Messenger bot) and also to play .
In fact, in the last update a few weeks ago, Facebook Messenger added games to the chat, complete and elaborate, to challenge friends.
What may surprise is that among the various games available and all free, there are also some complex ones that have the advantage of not requiring any installation, which load quickly from the internet from the internet as if they were browser games.

To find the best Messenger games, just start a chat with someone and press the button with 4 dots in the lower left. A whole list of games will appear that can be played in two or even alone.
The person chosen to play may not be online, but when he finds out that he has been challenged he will see the score we made on the chosen game and try to beat him.
For each game, then, you can touch the button at the top Challenges to see the scores of other friends.
In the list there are some very welcome surprises including, above all, the great classics: PacMan, Space Invaders, Arkanoid and Track and fields 100 Meters . Pacman is the classic game of the 80s as well as Space Invaders, while Track and Fields is that historical game of athletics that was called splitter joystick because it required to move the knob left and right as fast as possible.
NOTE: Facebook Messenger games can also be played online from PC on the Facebook site and also alone, on the Instant Games page. The same games are playable from the Facebook app on Android and iPhone, under the games section.
