By the introduction of social networking sites like Facebook and Google plus, Flash games are gaining popularity day by day  and many people likes to spent their time playing simple games such as castleville or howzat cricket etc. But have your ever think of the flash games runs in full screen rather than staying the game like a small ad on a giant monitor. It is possible to scale the flash games to fullscreen by using the Google chrome extension SwiffOut Fullscreen Games. 


Like many other graphic games, it can hide the browser, Windows UI and other elements in the display and only shows you the game area.

The Google chrome extension is very easy to install as like the normal addons. To run a flash game in full screen, just load the page and click the extension button in the tool bar. 

Download SwiffOut Fullscreen Games from chrome Web store.


The extension automatically adjusts for lag-free game play and it works with almost all flash games in various websites. You can the quit full screen by pressing Esc .
