Games for Chromebook

Free games for Chromebook

Chromebooks are made for the web, and so are these games. Every game on this page runs in the Chrome browser: no download, no Play Store, no extension and no account. Open a game, press play, and it starts in a few seconds.

They're built to stay smooth on school Chromebooks and older laptops, and your stars and best times are saved in the browser, so they're still there the next time you open the same Chromebook.

Not sure where to start? The 10 best Chromebook games compares them by what each one is best for, how long a round takes and which keys it uses.

Puzzle games for Chromebook

• Gravity Lab: you don't move the ball, you turn the room. Every move rotates the lab 90° and everything falls to the new "down". 60 labs in three wings, each ending with a boss you crush with falling crates.
• Block Drop: a block puzzle on an 8x8 board. Drag three blocks at a time, fill rows and columns to clear them, and keep a combo going.
• Lost Corridors: a maze where your light is your clock. Glide through the dark and reach the exit before the light runs out.
• Silent Maze: a horror maze you can't see. Ring the bell and an echo lights up the walls, but the creatures hear every ring.
• Dot Box Duel: dots and boxes with a notebook look, against the computer or a friend sharing the same Chromebook.

Full screen on a Chromebook

Every game has a Fullscreen button under the game window. You can also press the full-screen key in the top row of your Chromebook keyboard, the one that looks like a rectangle with corners. Press it again to go back.

Games for Chromebook at school

These games are ordinary web pages, so they work on school Chromebooks as long as your school allows salutgames.net. There's nothing to install and no account to create, and most rounds take one to three minutes, so you can finish one in a short break and pick up the next one later.

Keyboard, touchscreen or gamepad

The platformers use the arrow keys or A and D to move and Space to jump or flip gravity. The one-button games work with Space, a mouse click or a tap. If your Chromebook has a touchscreen, every game also plays with touch. The full list is in controls for every game, and which games run well on a Chromebook explains what keeps them smooth on low-end laptops.
