Play Snake Online Free
Steer the snake with the arrow keys, eat food to grow and avoid the walls and your own tail. Quick 2 to 10 minute runs of classic Snake, free online.
How to play Snake
Press Start, then steer the snake with the arrow keys. Every piece of food you eat makes the snake longer, and the run ends as soon as you hit a wall or your own tail — so plan your turns early as the body grows.
