Frequently asked questions
How do you play Snake?▾
Steer the snake to eat the dots. Each dot adds one point and makes the snake one square longer. The game ends when the snake runs into a wall or its own body, so plan turns to leave yourself room.
What are the controls?▾
Use the arrow keys or W, A, S, D on a keyboard, and Space, P or Esc to pause. On phones and tablets, swipe on the board or tap the on-screen arrow pad.
What does 'pass through walls' do?▾
With it on, the snake leaves one edge and comes back on the opposite side, like the original Nokia Snake II. Only running into your own tail ends the game, which makes long runs easier.
Is my high score saved?▾
Yes. Your best score is saved in your browser on this device, so it's still there next time you play. Clearing site data resets it.
What is the highest possible score in Snake?▾
On this 20×20 board the snake can fill all 400 squares, so the maximum is 397 points (it starts 3 squares long). Reaching it requires a strategy like following a path that covers every square.
Where did the Snake game come from?▾
The idea dates to the 1976 arcade game Blockade. It became famous in 1997 when Nokia preloaded Snake on the Nokia 6110, putting it on hundreds of millions of phones.
