About Snake

Snake is the arcade classic that shipped on a generation of phones. The board never gets bigger but the snake always does, so every apple you eat makes the next one harder to reach.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Snake?

Press any key or click the board to start, then use the arrow keys to steer. Eat the apples to score and grow; hitting a wall or your own tail ends the run.

Is this Snake game free?

Yes, completely. It runs in your browser with no download and no sign-up.

How do I get a high score in Snake?

Keep to the edges early and leave yourself an escape route. The board never grows but the snake always does, so the danger is trapping yourself, not the walls.

Does the game keep my high score?

Your score is shown while you play. Nothing is uploaded — the game runs entirely on your device.
