Telegram is one of the most frequently used messaging and cloud-based data-sharing services popularised for its ability to share large amounts of data between its users through its fast and secure channels.
Did you know that you could also use Telegram to play games? It might seem a bit surprising to you at first but it is true. Telegram has integrated a lot of features into its application throughout the years to help itself expand its potential uses.
One such feature is the ability to play games through the telegram application. Telegram currently has a long catalog of games that a user can play in it.
Let us look at how gaming works on Telegram and the list of the top 10 Telegram games that you can play in 2024.
How do Telegram games work?
The Telegram platform supports many games in its platform even though its primary role is as a messaging service.
A lot of the games that are supported within the app are playable thanks to the involvement of what are called gaming bots. These programs let the user summon gameplay through a bot and play it with the bot itself or any of their friends on Telegram.
In addition to all of these Telegram also allows its users to create their own games on the platform and play them under the guidance of Telegram’s game creation and management bots.
Let us now look at some of the most played games on Telegram.
Top 10 Telegram games in 2024
Here is a list of the Top 10 trending Telegram games in 2024
1. Cards Against Humanity
Bot address:@chat_against_humanity_bot
Cards Against Humanity is a question-and-answer-based card game. It is however no ordinary card game. The game which was created by a group of eight Highland Park High schoolers became widely popular for its highly politically incorrect and what was considered by many a borderline offensive nature of gameplay.
This game is usually played with a group of people where each player is given ten white cards with random answers. The card czar will draw a black card and ask a question.
The player who gives the funniest answer to the question is given a single point. The Telegram version of this game gets more interesting when you realize that the card czar is a bot.
The bot selects a question and gives a player the chance to answer. The funniest answer that is selected for the question after looking at the response from all the players gets a point.
At the end of the game, the player who has secured the most points is declared the winner. Cards Against Humanity has been one of the most trending games on Telegram and has continued to increase in popularity after all these years.
All that a person has to do to play the game is to add the Cards Against Humanity bot to their chat group and press the prompt to start the game.
2. Unobot
Bot address:@unobot
Uno is one of the most widely played card games in the world. Its popularity can be attributed to a lot of things. One of these aspects is the simplistic nature of the game.
Uno can be played by 2 players or more depending on the number of cards available. Each player will be given a set of random cards and they will have to match the card that is set on the table with a similar card from their collection. The one who clears out all the cards in their hand first can declare themselves as the winner by shouting ‘UNO’.
When playing this game on Telegram the players will each receive a set of random cards from the Unobot. The gameplay goes just as how it goes in the game in real life. A few things that are added to enhance the player’s experience is the option for a player to use a hint to know how many cards the other players have.
A simple, easy-to-play game would be just what your friend group might need to become active again. This would be the ideal bot to summon if that is what you would like to achieve.
3. Gamebot
Bot address:@Gamebot
The Gamebot is considered the father of all bots when it comes to playing games in Telegram. Gamebot by itself is not considered a game but a hosting interface for gameplay. It does this so by providing its users with multiple-choice games.
Gamebot’s interface provides the user with a list of popular games such as Math Battle, Lumberjack, and Corsairs from which the user can choose the game that he finds appealing.
Gamebot is thus an honorable mention in this group for doing all these functions by itself.
4. ChessBot
Bot address: @chessbot
The creator of ChessBot was pretty straightforward with the naming of the bot. As the name suggests ChessBot is a chess game simulator that you can add to your group or chat through which you can play the game of Chess.

All that a user has to do to start playing the game is to search for the bot with the given address on their search bar.
Once you find the channel you will be given an option to start on the bottom of the screen. Once you click on start the game will present you with a picture of a chess set from where you can choose your moves and reply in thread.
Upon replying the computer will instantly give you another image with its move played on the bot. This goes on until a player is checkmated or if the game comes to a stalemate or a draw.

Bot address: XOBot
Tic Tac Toe is a game that everyone must have played at least once in their lifetime. The rules of the game are simple. The classical version of the game is played by two people who make their markings with either of the symbols “X” or “O”. The name of the bot (XOBot) is a reference to these two symbols.
The point of the game is to fill in the empty checks in 3×3 grids and get your symbols lined up in a pair of three so as to win the game.
The one true quality that one needs to play this game is to be attentive to all the changes that happen to your grids after each move and counteract these moves or use them to your advantage.
The Tic Tac Toe bot helps you enjoy the pleasures of playing this simple game with your friends while at the same time helping to keep your mind sharp and alert.

Bot address: @Hangbot
HangBot is a Telegram bot that gives its users a chance to test each other’s verbal prowess and strategy utilization skills.
The game is quite simple. The game begins with a bunch of empty fields. The empty fields when filled will make a word.
The players are given several attempts to guess a letter. When each wrong letter is guessed it inches the sticklike figure representing a man closer to being hung. If the user can correctly guess the word by the place of each letter in the solved fields then they will be declared the winner.
If they cannot do so, then the man will be hanged, or let us say in this case the bot will be hanged. The way to access the game is the same as how most test-based reply games can be accessed.
