Want to get your family moving, laughing, and playing together? You’re in the right place.
Nex Playground, the active play system for families, is home to a growing library of 50+ movement-based games. From quick party favorites to story-based experiences, there’s no shortage of ways to jump in and start having fun.
With so many games to choose from, it can be hard to decide what to play first (or next). We have guides to help you find the best games by age group on Nex Playground. But today, we’re featuring something even more revealing: the top 10 experiences Nex families loved in 2025.
Time tells the story, and the minutes don't lie. Read on to see which games have captured the most playtime across the Nex Playground catalog.
The following rankings are based on average minutes played per user, highlighting the games players consistently return to and spend the most time with.
Mirrorama easily takes the top spot as the most-played game on Nex Playground.
On the surface, that might sound surprising. A collection of AR filters with a few mini-games sprinkled seems almost too simple. But giving kids wacky tools and letting them run wild is a proven recipe for nonstop fun. Add more players to the mix, and the results are even more hilarious.
Mirrorama is the kind of game that fits in anywhere during a play session. It’s perfect as an icebreaker to get everyone moving and laughing, and also just as good for winding down a day of play.
If you’re not sure what to play, turn on Mirrorama, find your favorite filters (we recommend starting with Twins), and let the kids run wild.
Clucking in at second place in playtime, Party Fowl earns its spot as one of Nex Playground’s go-to party picks. Packed with 30+ fast and zany mini-games, it’s built for groups that want to jump in, get moving, and start laughing right away.
Like Mirrorama, Party Fowl thrives on ridiculous moments and shared laughs. Here, competitive silliness takes center stage, with scores tracked and winners crowned at the end of each session.
This starter pack game is the perfect pick for families and friends who want high-energy fun, light competition, and a game that keeps the whole flock entertained.

Claiming a close third spot on our list, Starri has slashed its way into players’ hearts with its easy-to-learn yet hard-to-master gameplay.
Rhythm games have a special kind of staying power, and Starri shows why. Every session invites a different challenge, whether you’re jumping in for a few songs, chasing a full-combo run, or squeezing in a quick dance session before the day begins.
And with new songs joining the catalog on a monthly basis, the experience keeps evolving, giving players fresh routines to master and new reasons to hit the dance floor.
Coming in right behind Starri, Bowling: Strike! has firmly earned its place as one of Nex Playground’s most-played group games.
This experience brings the bowling alley home—no car rides, shoe swaps, or waiting for lanes. Just step up, roll your ball, and cheer each other on. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick game or setting up a full family match, this is an easy way to knock down some pins at a moment's notice.
With support for up to six players, flexible games with 5 or 10 frames, and local profiles that save customized balls, pins, and lanes, Bowling: Strike! is designed to give families a fun and familiar experience, perfect for game nights.
Homerun Heroes: Starstrikers ranks fifth on our Top 10 list and has been an absolute home run with baseball fans. Even the Syracuse Mets have gotten a few hits in!
Every at-bat is a rush, with players chasing home runs and high scores. Between the fast, satisfying gameplay and the ability to customize anime-inspired characters into your own ultimate slugger, it’s easy to see why players keep lining up for another turn.
Another starter pack game has cracked our Top 10—Fruit Ninja!
Even before appearing on Nex Playground, Fruit Ninja was a gaming favorite, delighting mobile players for years.
What makes our Playground version special is the motion-based gameplay and the option for cooperative play. You can still enjoy the juicy thrill of slicing solo, but teaming up to slice through waves of fruit together adds a fresh twist to this classic hit.
Finding yourself hungry for another round? We don’t blame you. 🥭🍍🍉
Sports games are Nex Playground favorites, and Tennis Smash: Racketville is no exception.
Tennis Smash serves up gameplay that’s satisfying and fun. Master classic strokes like forehands, serves, and backhands, then step into the Racketville Tournament to win 5-point matches, unlocking a cast of quirky characters along the way.
Play a focused single-player session, or try the new 2-player mode, to get in your daily active play.
Racing fans can't help but hit the track in our eighth most-played Playground game.
Miniacs puts players behind the wheel of tiny racers in a big world, drifting through charming micro tracks filled with oversized obstacles and clever layouts to master. Every course feels playful and surprising, turning everyday environments into pint-sized racetracks.
While you can race solo, Miniacs really comes alive when all four players hit the track at once, making it a perfect pick for competitive game nights.
In ninth place, Tumbobots proves that sometimes the most memorable games are the ones that get a little zany.
Players take control of silly, lanky robots and quickly realize nothing moves quite the way you expect—and that’s exactly the point. Learning how to walk, turn, and jump becomes its own hilarious challenge, filled with wobbly first steps, sudden breakthroughs, and lots of laugh-out-loud moments.
Cute, chaotic, and surprisingly skill-based, Tumbobots is the kind of experience players return to again and again.
Rounding out our Top 10 is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Mayhem.
Set in the TMNT universe, this fast-moving, side-scrolling auto-runner is all about momentum. Players leap across rooftops, dodge hazards, and take down enemies in quick, high-energy runs that are easy to jump into and hard not to watch.
Because each attempt is snappy and action-packed, TMNT: Rooftop Mayhem naturally turns into a group game. With up to two turtles on the rooftops at once, it’s a perfect choice for game nights, hangouts, or sleepovers, where the fun comes as much from the crowd around the screen as the action on it.
As you might expect, the majority of our Top 10 Games are also chosen as “Favorites” on the console. However, a few standout titles made it high on the Favorites list, but just missed out on our Top 10 most played for 2025.
These games may not always dominate total playtime, but they’ve clearly earned a special place in the community’s rotation.
Bluey: Bust-a-Move earns an honorable mention as one of the most-loved games on Playground, currently ranking as our fifth most-favorited title.
Inspired by fan-favorite episodes like “Keepy Uppy”, “Fancy Restaurant”, and “Magic Asparagus”, this collection of mini-games drops kids straight into Bluey’s playful world. Each round is light, silly, and movement-driven, making it especially popular for family play sessions where laughter matters just as much as high scores.
NexPets: Puppies barks its way onto our honorable mentions list, currently sitting as the seventh most saved title. It hasn't pulled as much average playtime as others in the top 10, but it’s also a fairly new title, having just released November 20th, 2025.
In this cozy virtual pet experience, players can pick their puppy, then spend time feeding, bathing, and playing with their new furry friend. The more you interact with your pup, the more quickly you build a bond and unlock rewards.
Its charm comes from the simple joy of caring for and checking in on your pup, making it especially popular with families looking for a gentle, ongoing play experience.
Copy Cat Deluxe may be about copying poses, but it’s earned a unique spot on our list as the eighth most-favorited game.
This motion-driven pose-matching game challenges players to strike fun, quirky stances and mimic animated prompts before the picture is snapped. It’s a simple concept, but one that sparks big laughs, especially when you’re trying to out-pose a sibling or teammate.
Wrapping up the honorable mentions list, Barbie Dance Party twirls into the spotlight as the ninth most-favorited game on Playground.
Players can step onto the dance floor with Malibu Barbie, Brooklyn Barbie, and Ken, matching their dance moves while grooving to some catchy tunes. In Barbie Dance Party, every song is a chance to show off your style.
Whether you’re looking for something new to play or wondering which games other families love, these rankings offer some great options. From instant favorites to long-time staples, these experiences showcase the Nex Playground community’s favorite ways to get moving.
