How to Install and Play Granny on Chromebook (Full Step-by-Step Guide)


Granny is one of the most iconic horror survival games ever released for Android and Windows. With its chilling atmosphere, eerie sound effects, and suspenseful gameplay, players must escape from a creepy house without getting caught by Granny.

If you’re using a Chromebook, don’t worry — you can still experience this horror classic!
Thanks to Wine, you can run Windows games like Granny directly on Chrome OS through the Linux environment.

In this guide, Wilguftech will show you step-by-step how to install and play Granny on Chromebook safely and smoothly.


What Is Granny?

Granny, developed by DVloper, is a first-person horror survival game where you wake up trapped inside a scary old house. Your goal is simple but terrifying: escape in five days without making too much noise.

Granny can hear every sound — from dropped objects to creaking floors — and will hunt you down if she detects your presence. You must find keys, solve puzzles, and hide under beds or inside wardrobes to survive.

Although originally made for Android and Windows, Granny can also run on Chromebook with a bit of setup using WineLINK DOWNLOAD


What You’ll Need Before Installation

  • Open Chromebook Settings.
  • Scroll to About Chrome OS at the bottom.
  • Under the Developer section, select Enable.
  • Allocate at least 20GB of storage for Linux.

Once everything is ready, let’s move on to installing Wine — the software that allows Linux and Chrome OS to run Windows programs.


Step 1: Add 32-bit Architecture Support

Some Windows apps (especially older games like Granny) require 32-bit architecture support.
Open your Linux Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Explanation:
This command adds the i386 architecture, allowing your Chromebook to run 32-bit programs required by many Windows applications.


Step 2: Add the WineHQ Repository Key

To install Wine securely from its official repository, add its GPG key:

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo apt-key add winehq.key

Explanation:

  • wget downloads the official Wine key.
  • sudo apt-key add registers that key so your system can verify the repository as safe.


Step 3: Add the WineHQ Repository Source

Next, add the WineHQ source to your system’s list of repositories:

echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine_Wilguftech.list

Explanation:
This tells your system where to download the official Wine packages (for Debian-based systems, which Chrome OS Linux uses).


Step 4: Update Your Package List

Now refresh your system’s package list to include the new Wine repository:

sudo apt update

Explanation:
This ensures your Chromebook recognizes the latest Wine packages before installation.


Step 5: Install Wine Stable

Finally, install the stable version of Wine:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable -y

Explanation:

  • --install-recommends ensures all recommended components are included.
  • -y automatically approves the installation This step may take several minutes depending on your internet speed.

Performance Tips for Smooth Gameplay

  • Use windowed fullscreen mode for better display performance.
  • Close unused apps to free up RAM.
  • Lower in-game resolution if you experience lag.
  • Enable High Performance Mode in Linux settings (if available).
  • Consider using an external mouse for smoother control.


Conclusion

And that’s it! You’ve successfully installed and played Granny on Chromebook using Wine.
This setup proves that Chrome OS isn’t just for web browsing — with Linux and Wine, you can unlock its full potential to play classic PC games.

Now you can enjoy the same bone-chilling experience right on your Chromebook. Whether you’re solving puzzles or hiding under the bed, just remember… Granny can hear everything. Move quietly, or you might not make it to Day 5.
