When most people think about Google Chrome, the search engine itself or apps like Gmail and Google Docs are typically the first things to come to mind. Google Chrome’s extensive list of free in-browser games isn’t well-known.
Google Chrome, in fact, has a vast array of apps and games from different genres that users can play on their mobile devices or laptop. With standouts like 2048 or Spelunky, among many others, you’re sure to find something you’ll enjoy.

Boxel Rebound
Boxel Rebound is easily one of Chrome’s most impressive auto-runners, thanks to the latest updates that made the finals levels even more agonizing. It’s based in Chrome, but Boxel Rebound‘s extensive content includes 50 levels, eight player skins, and even a level editor.
Players of this game can create and share their levels, warranting a comparison to Super Mario Maker Lite. You’ll bounce back and forth between fun and frustration due to the many options and a high difficulty level.
Robbers in Town
ROBBERS IN TOWN GAME WALKTHROUGHAuto-running platformers are the bread and butter of the free-to-play browser game scene, but these games can be turned into something more interesting with just one simple tweak.
In Robbers in Town, you play as two separate criminals trying to escape from a local bank with their stash of cash in tow. One directional arrow controls the first robber, while another controls the second, and they must both be used to avoid obstacles and get more cash.
Happy Friday
Happy Friday follows an orange monster creature as it escapes red monster creatures and eats donuts. It is a free, fast-paced game, but the controls are easy, so people of any age can play.
Though there isn’t much to this game in the way of strategy, you do have to avoid obstacles and figure out how to use the environment around you to get through levels and fight the red monsters. You can turn into a ball to go faster and get through tubes and pipes or stay standing up to be able to jump.
Spelunky HTML5
The cult-favorite Spelunky HTML5 is like an 8-bit Indiana Jones adventure complete with bullwhips, snakes, and more. Essentially, you help a cave diver, Spelunky, search for gold and his lost girlfriend while avoiding booby traps and deadly animals. Controls are incredibly easy.
If you die in the game, you aren’t sent back to the beginning again. Instead, the game generates a new set of random levels so you don’t feel like you’re backtracking.
Free Rider HD
Free Rider HD is the best ragdoll-based racer in the Google Chrome store. With 80 unique levels, multiple vehicle types, and tons of achievements to unlock, the game provides plenty of challenges to overcome. However, the game’s best feature is its robust user community. Free Rider HD also gives players the ability to create their own detailed 2D-racing levels. Players have crafted more than 50,000 custom levels at this point, which you can use to challenge your friends or the worldwide leaderboards. Considering you can play it directly in your Chrome browser, Free Rider HD has a surprising amount of content to offer.
Treasure Arena
With Treasure Arena, up to four friends can battle one another in a retro-style grudge match that mimics the old-school arcade games of yesteryear. Each level is littered with enemy monsters that you and your friends must eradicate together while simultaneously competing to gather the most coins. As you take down enemies, you can loot treasure chests to gain better weapons and gear, all of which give you a competitive edge over your friends. As far as Google Chrome games are concerned, this is one of the most fully realized — few compromises were made in developing Treasure Arena for the accessible platform.
