Free Games How to play Snake
- Steer the snake with the arrow keys (or swipe).
- Eat the food blocks to grow longer and score.
- Avoid running into your own tail. Get as long as you can.
Snake is a livelier arcade game than our calm puzzles — a little faster, with a bit more hurry. There is still no sign-up and no pop-ups. If you prefer a relaxed, untimed game, try Cat Sudoku, Sudoku, or Mahjong.
Common questions
How do I steer the snake?
Use the four arrow keys on a computer, or swipe in the direction you want to go on a touchscreen.
Is it timed?
There is no clock — the only challenge is not bumping into your own tail as you grow.
