How to play Snake
Snake is a classic arcade game where you steer a constantly moving snake around the board to eat food. Each piece of food makes the snake longer and the game a little faster. Survive as long as you can without running into the walls or your own tail.
- 1 Use the arrow keys or WASD (or swipe on mobile) to change direction.
- 2 Eat the food to grow longer and score points.
- 3 The snake speeds up as you grow.
- 4 Avoid hitting the walls or your own body — that ends the game.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get a high score in Snake?
Use the whole board: hug the edges and move in tight, predictable patterns so you always leave yourself an escape route as the snake grows.
What are the controls?
Arrow keys or WASD on desktop, and swipe gestures on touch screens. You cannot reverse directly back into yourself.
Why does Snake get harder over time?
The snake speeds up as it grows, leaving less reaction time, and its longer body blocks more of the board.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — swipe controls and a responsive board let you play on phones and tablets.
