Senior Guinea Pig
I find piggies don't really play games. They eat, squeak, sleep and are forced to have the occasional cuddle.
You can get them to do things for food. For example, I get mine to stand on their back legs.
Also mine like to 'find the food'. I get a piece of veg and hold it in my hand, but not directly towards the piggie - I hold it downwards or upwards to to ones side. My piggie then has to sniff it out. They seem to quite enjoy that one.
When they were younger they liked exploring sheets of newspaper (folded or crumpled so it doesn't lay flat) which I put in their cage. However now they just seem to eat it.

This is not really a game as such but the piggies really enjoy it, and I enjoy watching them.
I put veggies inside a cardboard egg box and close it. They spend ages fliping it around the cage and nibbling at the box untill they are rewarded with veg at the end.

Try to "hide" bits of food in all places. Little hurdles can be fun as well with youngsters.
