Got Questions?

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can you play these games on a school Chromebook without installing anything?▼

Yes. These titles run inside your standard Chrome browser as HTML5 pages, so there is no software to install and no permission prompt to approve. What a school-managed device allows is set on that device itself.

Will playing these games use up storage on my Chromebook?▼

These are browser-based HTML5 games, not installed apps, so they do not take up storage. Performance still depends on the title, the device, and how many tabs are open.

Do games on this site play autoplay video ads?▼

Our page layout uses display banners rather than autoplay video, but advertising inside an embedded title belongs to that game. Opening a game briefly is the quickest way to see how it behaves.

Can I play using the physical Chromebook keyboard?▼

It depends on the game. Some titles use the keyboard (Arrow keys, Spacebar, WASD), while others are designed for mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen. Each game page lists its exact controls, and 2-in-1 convertible Chromebooks also support touch gestures.
