Google Snake is a fun, browser-based Easter egg created by Google—a modern twist on the classic arcade Snake game. Here’s the scoop:

🎯 What is Google Snake?

Originated as a Google Doodle for the Year of the Snake (Chinese New Year 2013).

Later reintroduced as a permanent Easter egg—simply search “snake game” or “play snake” on Google.

Enhanced versions exist, including playable on mobile, dark mode, and special maps (like cityscapes via Google Maps).

🕹 How to Play

Launch: Go to Google, type snake game, then hit the Play button.

Controls:

Use arrow keys (or WASD) to steer.

On mobile, a swipe controls movement.

Press the space bar to pause.

Goal: Eat the dots/apples to grow the snake—avoid crashing into walls or yourself until you can’t continue.

🛠 Modes & Secrets

Classic (grid/edges) or Arcade (joystick-style).

Some versions include city-themed maps (Cairo, San Francisco) via sidebar .

Hidden “invincibility” mode: after losing, click the trophy until it turns into a peace sign, then retry—no death!.

Element toggles (e.g. brick walls, speed changes) appear through icons like turtle (slow), rabbit (fast), fruit (more dots).

💡 Tips for Higher Scores

Stick to edges: low-risk paths and predictable movement.

Zig‑zag/clear lines: intentional sweeping patterns reduce self-collision risk.

Plan path ahead: anticipate future dots and avoid boxing yourself in.

Corner-trapping: once long, use controlled confinement to pick up multiple dots safely.

⏳ Why It’s Fun

A nostalgic nod to the original Snake popularized on Nokia phones and early video terminals (Blockade, 1970s).

Instant access—no install needed, playable on mobile or desktop.

Multiple settings keep it fresh: Easter egg, Maps mode, classic Doodle, mods, and more.
