On Minecraft, for example, one player needs to open their world to LAN from the pause menu, selecting 'Open to LAN'. They'll choose game settings and then 'Start LAN World'. Other players can then join by selecting 'Multiplayer' on their game menu, where the LAN game should appear automatically. Select the game and you're in. This process may vary slightly depending on the game but generally follows a similar procedure.
