As we roll into World Social Media Day on June 30th, it's the perfect time to check out how it's totally transformed gaming, especially for classic games that have been around forever. These old-school favorites aren't just going digital; they're getting a full-on revival thanks to platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and more. Social media has turned them into a global hangout spot where players swap strategies, show off wins, etc. So, let's take a look at the top five games that are absolutely crushing it online this World Social Media Day. 1. Ludo on Zupee: The Cult Classic Goes Viral Ludo's that game you've played at every family gathering but the digital versions on online skill-based platforms like Zupee have kicked it up a notch.

The clean, simple app designs make it super shareable, whether you're bragging about a tough win or dropping a mini tutorial. It's brainy fun that's never out of style. 3. Carrom: From South Asia to the World Was there ever a summer vacation that went by without a game of Carrom? The beloved South Asian classic is making rounds across the globe now, thanks to the growing popularity of its digitized versions over social media.

Modern, digitized chess does away with these challenges. You can play from anywhere, at any time, which is what made the digital versions an instant hit. Social media took the craze further, with players uploading videos on YouTube and Instagram, and even live streaming the matches.

This World Social Media Day, it's clear these classics aren't just surviving; they're thriving with the advent of online skill-based platforms like Zupee, and social media is the stage they were born to shine on.
