How To Play Clash Royale on School Computer and ChromeBook

Playing a mobile game like Clash Royale on a school computer and ChromeBook is challenging because schools typically block game websites and prevent students from installing unauthorized software like emulators.

Here are the methods you can potentially use, listed from the most likely to work (if the school’s filtering is weak) to the least likely (if the security is tight).

1. Cloud Gaming / Browser Streaming Services (Most Likely)

The most reliable method for playing blocked mobile games on a school computer is through a web-based cloud service. These services run the Android operating system and the game on a remote server, and then stream the video feed to your browser. Your school’s system sees it only as a website, which may not be blocked.

• How to Try:

  1. Open your school computer’s web browser (Chrome, Edge, etc.).
  2. Search for a mobile cloud platform like now.gg (or similar services).
  3. Search for Clash Royale within that cloud platform.
  4. If the service works, the game will launch and stream directly in your browser window.

  Note: If the site itself is blocked, this method will not work.

2. Using the Official PC Version (Unlikely, but worth checking)

Clash Royale is now officially available to play on Windows PCs through Google Play Games for PC.

• How to Check:

  1. Go to the official Google Play Games for PC website.
  2. Try to search for and download the Google Play Games application.
  3. The problem is that school computers usually block both downloading and installing new .exe files. If your account has admin privileges or the school has pre-installed the client, this would be the best option, but it’s very rare.

3. Proxy/VPN (May Unblock the Network, but risky)

If the school’s network firewall is blocking the connection ports that Clash Royale uses, a VPN can sometimes bypass the block.

• The Challenge: Most school networks block all common VPN software and websites.

• How to Try:

  • You would need to find a web-based proxy or a less-known VPN that can run in a browser or as a portable executable file (which requires a USB drive).Warning: Using proxies or VPNs on a school network may violate the school’s acceptable use policy and could result in disciplinary action.

4. USB Drive / Portable Apps (Requires Permissions)

This method only works if the school computer allows programs to be run from an external source (like a USB drive) and does not have the operating system locked down.

• How to Try:

  1. On your home computer, install a portable Android emulator or a portable version of Google Play Games.
  2. Download the necessary Clash Royale files onto the USB drive.
  3. Plug the USB into the school computer and try to run the application directly from the drive.
  4. Note: Most modern school systems block .exe files from running off external drives.

The Reality Check

School computers are designed to limit non-educational use. The network administrators are constantly updating firewalls and filtering systems to block games, proxies, and unauthorized software.

The browser-based cloud gaming solution (Method 1) has the highest chance of success, but even that is not guaranteed.
