Can I play a multiplayer game on a work computer without installing anything?

Yes. Splatbarn runs entirely inside the browser tab using WebGL and WebRTC. There is no installer, no browser plugin and no admin rights involved, so a managed laptop with software installation blocked can still play it.

Does it work on a Chromebook?

Yes. Chromebooks run Chrome, which supports both WebGL and WebRTC. So do managed Windows laptops, MacBooks, iPads and Android phones.

Will my company firewall block it?

Usually not. The only networks that stop it are the rare ones that block all WebRTC traffic outright, typically high-security VPNs. Tethering to a phone is the workaround.

Do I need an account to play?

No. You do not need to sign up, and there is no game server. One person hosts, everyone else pastes a room code.

Browser games with no download for office PCs

Your work laptop won't let you install games. Splatbarn doesn't need you to.

A free multiplayer capture-the-flag that runs 100% in your browser. No installer, no admin rights, no signup, no server in the middle. If your browser can open a URL, you're already good to go.

Managed laptop

No admin rights

No installer

What works

✅ Chromebook (yes — this is where most other games fail)
✅ Managed MacBook
✅ Managed Windows laptop
✅ Any modern browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari
✅ Behind most corporate firewalls (WebRTC uses standard STUN/TURN over 443)
✅ On your phone or tablet during breaks

What doesn't (be honest, IT)

❌ IE11 — sorry, WebRTC + modern JS
❌ Networks that block ALL WebRTC (very rare — usually only high-security VPNs; try tethering to your phone)

What it looks like

Splatbarn running in an ordinary browser tab: the lobby, with no installer and no launcher involved — A browser tab. That is the whole install.

Splatbarn on a phone, with the lobby scaled to the screen — And the same room code on a phone at lunch.

Nothing to install. Nothing to explain to IT.
