How to play
- Tap the screen or press space to start running.
- Tap (or press space / up arrow) to jump over cacti.
- Press the down arrow to duck under flying pterodactyls (on mobile, jump over them instead).
- The game speeds up the longer you survive — your score is your distance.
- Hit an obstacle and it's over. Tap to run again.
Tips to win
- Jump as late as you dare — early jumps land you on the second cactus of a cluster.
- After about 450 points the pterodactyls arrive: watch their height, only the middle ones need a duck.
- The game inverts colors at 700 points (night mode) — don't let the switch break your focus.
- Short taps make shorter jumps; save long jumps for wide cactus clusters.
- Play with sound on — the score milestone beep helps you feel the speed increase coming.
FAQ
Is this the real Chrome dinosaur game?
Yes — it's built from the open-source Chromium code of the original T-Rex runner, so the physics and obstacles are the real thing.
What's the maximum score in Dino Run?
The score caps at 99,999 — but the speed makes anything past 3,000 heroic. Most players never pass 1,000.
Can I play Dino Run on my phone?
Yes — tap to jump works on any phone or tablet, free, no download.
