How to play Snake Arena
Grow the longest, highest-scoring snake before time runs out.
Cutting across a rival's path at just the right angle to end their run feels like a genuine skill move worth the risk of dying yourself.
- Move your mouse/pointer, or use WASD / arrow keys, to steer
- Hold (mouse button, spacebar, or a second finger) to boost
- Cut across another snake's body to kill it
- Never touch a body or the wall — that kills you
💡 Killing another snake is worth a big bonus on top of the food you eat.
💡 Save your boost for closing the gap on a smaller snake or dodging a close call, rather than holding it down constantly.

Can I play Snake Arena with a specific friend instead of strangers?
Create a private room from the Snake Arena page to get a shareable room code, or enter a code a friend already sent you to jump straight into their table.
