If you’re feeling a bit bored at home there is a vast amount of online entertainment that you can enjoy for free from the comfort of your sofa. The Internet is a great source of entertainment and nowadays you don’t have to download expensive software to get involved. For the most part you don’t even need to sign up to a website to get the best apps and games.
Here is a list of some of the different types of fun entertainment available online for people of all ages:
Quizzes
Everybody loves a good quiz because even if you don’t know any of the answers, it’s a great way to learn something new! Pub quizzes are hugely popular throughout the UK and have now migrated to the U.S, Canada, Australia, and many other countries.
If your local pub isn’t running a pub quiz you can still join in the action online. There are loads of websites that host general knowledge quizzes, sports quizzes, and science quizzes, amongst others. Personality quizzes are another fun activity that many people enjoy taking part in to reveal things about themselves that they didn’t know before.
Online Slots
Anybody who’s been to a casino surely loves the exciting sounds and sights of the famous Las Vegas environment. If you want to enjoy a bit of that same casino feeling in your own home you can do so with online slots games. Video slots, also known as ‘pokies’ in Australia and New Zealand, have become a firm favorite in many bars and pubs around the world.
Now, the same games are available online in digital format. One of the most popular online slots is Book of Dead, an Ancient Egyptian-themed slot with 5-reels and 10 paylines. If you fancy your chances you can check out the slot players favourite Book of Dead game and others here.
Online Streaming
There is a whole host of online streaming services available these days, from Netflix and Amazon Prime to Disney+ and Youtube TV. Netflix remains one of the most popular streaming services but it is facing stiff competition since Disney+ launched with most Marvel content.
For added fun you can now use the free Netflix Party browser extension to binge-watch films with your friends remotely. The extension is a great little tool with chat tools to bring friends together who used to enjoy movie nights on the sofa.
Online Gym Classes
If you’re feeling a bit sedentary you can also stay entertained and fit at the same time with online gym classes. There are several websites that are now offering free classes from yoga, to gymnastics and aerobics.
Check out Planet Fitness for free streaming fitness classes or get the Down Dog app to take up some yoga, HIIT, or Barre classes. There are also several home fitness apps for both Android and iOS that don’t require any home gym equipment. Let the app teach you how to use objects from around your home to stay fit!
