The Dinosaur Game (also known as the Chrome Dino or T-Rex Runner) is a built-in browser game in Google Chrome. Originally created as an Easter egg for Chrome's offline error page, it has become a cultural phenomenon enjoyed by millions worldwide.
This endless runner game features a pixelated T-Rex that must avoid obstacles like cacti and pterodactyls. The longer you survive, the higher your score climbs, with the game gradually increasing in difficulty and speed.
Our platform brings this classic game online, allowing you to enjoy it anytime without needing to disconnect from the internet!
Press SPACE or UP ARROW to jump over obstacles. Use DOWN ARROW to duck under flying pterodactyls. On mobile devices, tap the screen to jump.
Your score increases the longer you survive. Every 100 points marks a new milestone, and the game speeds up! The day/night cycle changes as you progress.

Learn to time your jumps perfectly. Jump early for tall cacti and late for short ones. For multiple cacti in a row, a single well-timed jump can clear them all.
Obstacles appear in patterns. Learning these patterns will help you achieve higher scores and anticipate what's coming next.
When pterodactyls appear, quickly assess their height. Some require jumping, while others need ducking. Practice switching between these moves rapidly.
