Make sure there is nobody in the room. If there is, just wait a bit. Don't ask them to leave or they will get suspicious.
Lock the door. If you are allowed to lock the door, do so. If not, then open a new window with something you usually read, i.e a wiki, a different game, etc. You can click on this window quickly if someone walks in the room.
Load up the game. If it's a game within your browser, turn on Private/Incognito browsing or delete your history after you're done.
Play your heart out. If you are in a room near where anyone is located, do not use voice chat. If there is custom server music, or if a sound plays whenever someone chats, use headphones or turn your speakers down. Do not talk out loud about the server.
Be prepared in case someone comes in the room. In the event that someone comes in, press Alt+Tab.
Make sure you aren't caught on a site or server that will get you in trouble. If your parents will try to search your computer, momentarily press Alt+F4.
Close all server-related tabs. When you have to get off the computer, make sure you close and shut down servers and files.
Play a game without your parents knowing when your computer is in the living room. Check to see if anyone is in viewing range of the screen. If your parents can't see the screen without looking suspicious, you are fine. If not, wait until they are not in the room to begin playing.
Play a game on your laptop without your parents knowing. This is the easiest to accomplish. Carry your laptop to the safest place, if you are allowed to carry it around. Also, invest in a TableMate. They are quite useful with laptops, and are also adjustable.
