Google Snake

Google Snake is proof that simple can be irresistible. It combines nostalgia, accessibility and a strategy curve that grows with every bite. Between community records and a 2025 version with modes and surprises, this classic never stops sharpening its fangs.

This game is a modern version of the classic Snake game, whose origin dates back to 1976. Google incorporated its own version of the snake in 2017 as a tribute, with an updated design and new modes, keeping the essence of the classic game but adapted to the digital age.

Snake Google is played for free and without installation, both on computer and mobile, always from the browser with Internet connection. In Minigames you can see all the versions of Google Snake games we have, or you can directly try the most classic format of the snake game.

How to play the snake eating apples game?

The goal is to guide the snake to eat the food that appears on the screen (e.g. apples) and thus grow. The game ends if the Google snake hits the edges of the play area or itself, so each move counts more as the body gets longer.

On the computer, you control movement with the arrows on the keyboard; on mobile devices, you slide your finger in the desired direction.

What is the google Snake record?

The community of Google Snake players has achieved impressive records. According to the Speedrun portal, in the mode of completely filling the board by consuming 252 blocks, the world record is 9 minutes, 51 seconds and 435 milliseconds, achieved by the Swedish player M4xD. In the speed challenges, the category of eating the first 25 apples in classic mode stands out. According to the aforementioned site, the fastest time is held by the English player moterstorm, with a record of 26 seconds and 595 milliseconds.

In 2025 came a modernized version as an interactive Doodle to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Snake: Google Snake Game 2025. It offers a variety of modes: the usual classic, challenges with obstacles, portals and challenges where objects must be eaten in a specific order. It allows you to customize both the snake and the objects to collect, incorporates daily challenges and power-ups, such as double points or slowing down movement, and adds a local multiplayer mode to compete on the same device.

Can you "win" in Google Snake?

Technically yes. The goal is to complete all the squares on the board, making the snake fill the screen without crashing. There is a method that allows you to reach the end of the game. It requires following a specific pattern that prevents the snake from biting itself and leaves room to move to the end and complete the screen. It is a difficult and rare feat: no classic "You have won" message appears, simply the game concludes when the board is filled.

Whether you're chasing speed marks, exploring new challenges, or looking to fill the board, in Google Snake every move counts. The fun is just a twist (or rather, a meandering) away.
