Chromebooks dominate schools worldwide — but they can't run Flash, can't install .exe files, and are often locked to school accounts with strict content filters. Here's what actually works.
What Makes a Game "Chromebook Compatible"
Chromebooks run Chrome OS and can only run web apps and Android apps. For games, that means:
- ✅ HTML5 / JavaScript games
- ✅ WebAssembly (WASM) games
- ✅ Unity WebGL games
- ❌ Flash games (Flash is dead)
- ❌ Downloaded .exe installers
