Snake Game

Steer the snake, eat food, and grow longer in this classic arcade game! Dodge walls and your own tail for the high score.

How to Play

  • The snake moves on its own across a 20 × 20 board. Turn it with the arrow keys or WASD (swipe or tap the arrow buttons on mobile).
  • Each red food is worth 1 point and adds one segment. The snake speeds up every 5 points.
  • Hitting a wall or your own body ends the game — the edges don't wrap around.

Snake is the arcade classic where the snake keeps moving on its own and all you decide is where it turns. Here it runs on a 20 × 20 grid and starts three segments long. Every red food you eat is worth 1 point and adds one segment, and every 5 points the snake speeds up a notch — from one cell every 0.15 seconds at the start to one cell every 0.06 seconds from 45 points on. The edges are solid walls, so hitting one or running into your own body ends the run. Steer with the arrow keys or WASD, or swipe and tap the on-screen arrows on a phone. The idea goes back to the 1976 arcade game Blockade and reached millions of pockets on Nokia phones in the late 1990s. Your best score goes on the leaderboard, and you can send it to a friend as a challenge link.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q. How do you play the Snake game?

    A. Steer the snake toward the red food with the arrow keys or WASD; on a phone, swipe or tap the arrow buttons. The snake moves forward on its own, and a turn straight back into itself is ignored.

  • Q. How do scoring and speed work?

    A. Each food is worth 1 point and adds one segment. The snake starts at one cell every 0.15 seconds and gets 0.01 seconds faster every 5 points, topping out at one cell every 0.06 seconds from 45 points.

  • Q. Can the snake go through the walls?

    A. No. The board is a closed 20 × 20 grid, so touching an edge ends the game just like running into your own body. There is no wrap-around mode.

  • Q. Is there a leaderboard?

    A. Yes. When a run ends with at least 1 point, your score is submitted to the leaderboard along with your play time, and you can share it as a challenge link so friends play by the same rules.
