About the author

Friv is operated by a team behind Zyis Limited, with its original Flash-era menu dating back nearly two decades .

  • Most games are licensed from third-party independent developers—Friv curates and showcases them rather than creating games in-house

What I like the most

What I like the most about friv is the instant access to Games: Large tile icons let you jump straight into gameplay—no sign-ups or downloads.

  • Bright, Friendly Visuals: The vivid purple theme, icons, and playful fonts feel cheerful and approachable.
  • family-friendly, few ads, no interruptions, with a dedicated school version (friv4school.com) for safer environments
