Snake.io

The Google Snake game debuted as an interactive Doodle on February 9, 2013, celebrating the Year of the Snake. This web version cleverly turned the Google logo into a playable snake that grows as it eats, while avoiding collisions with itself and the borders. Its accessible design and festive theme quickly captivated players around the world.

Debuting for April Fools’ Day 2019, Snake on Google Maps remixed the arcade classic into a playful world tour. Instead of a pixel snake, you guided a friendly train across cities rendered with real street layouts. · Every pickup added passengers or landmarks to your cars, stretching the train and forcing tighter turns through Cairo’s curves, São Paulo’s avenues, and Tokyo’s tidy grids. The simple controls stayed familiar, but the geography made each run feel fresh. · Google eventually retired the original site, yet this restoration recreates the look, sounds, and pace so you can keep exploring

The controls are simple — use the arrow keys to move up, down, left, or right. On mobile, swipe to change direction. · Eat the food that appears to grow longer, but avoid the walls and your own tail. As you grow, maneuvering gets trickier, testing your reflexes and planning. That rising challenge is the charm — proof that smart design never goes out of style!
