Snake

Press an arrow key, or swipe on the board, to start.

How do you play the snake game?

Steer the snake with the arrow keys, W A S D, or a swipe. Eat the apple to grow one block longer and score a point. Do not hit the walls or your own body. The snake gets a little faster with each apple.

How to play snake

  1. Press an arrow key, or swipe, to start. The snake moves on its own.
  2. Turn the snake toward the red apple. Each apple makes it one block longer and adds a point.
  3. Do not run into a wall or into your own body. Either one ends the game.
  4. The snake gets a little faster with each apple, up to the top speed of the level you picked.

Controls

  • Computer and Chromebook: the arrow keys, or W, A, S and D. Space or P pauses, and Space starts a new game.
  • Phone and tablet: swipe on the board, or tap the arrow buttons under it.
  • Press two keys quickly, like up then left, for a fast U-turn.

Tips for a longer snake

  • Stay near the walls early on, and keep the middle of the board open.
  • Plan your turn one apple ahead, so you never have to turn into a corner.
  • When the snake is long, follow your own tail. The cell the tail leaves is always free.
  • Start on Slow to learn the turns, then try Normal and Fast.

Questions

Is the snake game unblocked here? Does it work on a school Chromebook?

It is a normal web page on lifesim.com with nothing to download, so it runs in Chrome on a Chromebook. Some school filters block every game site, so we can't promise that yours allows it. Once the page is open, the game needs no network.

How do you get a high score in snake?

Stay calm and plan your path. Move along the walls, leave space to turn, and when the snake gets long, follow your own tail: the cell your tail leaves is always free.

Can I change the speed?

Yes. Pick Slow, Normal, or Fast. Each speed starts slower and gets faster with every apple. Your best score stays in this browser for each speed.

Can I play snake on a phone?

Yes. Swipe on the board to turn, or tap the arrow buttons under it.

Where does the snake game come from?

The idea goes back to the arcade game Blockade from 1976. Snake became famous on Nokia phones in the late 1990s. This version is our own code and art.

Can I challenge a friend?

Yes. After a game, press Share or Copy link. The link holds your score and the speed, so your friend plays the same game.
