How to play

Press the spacebar, up arrow, or tap the screen to jump over cacti, and press the down arrow (or swipe down) to duck under flying pterodactyls. The dinosaur speeds up the longer you survive, so your reflexes have to keep up. Your goal is simply to run as far as possible and set a new high score.

Game features
  • Faithful recreation of the classic offline T-Rex game
  • Simple one-button jump plus duck input
  • Rising speed for real reflex challenge
  • Personal-best score tracking
  • Instantly playable with no setup
Tips and strategy
  • Use short taps for low cacti and hold longer for the wide, tall cactus clusters.
  • When pterodactyls appear, duck rather than jump — jumping into them ends your run.
  • Stay near the center of the screen so you have time to react to both ground and air obstacles.
  • Don't panic at high speed; keep your inputs single and deliberate.
  • After a bird passes, watch the ground immediately for the next cactus.
About Chrome Dino

The legendary offline T-Rex sprints back into action in a faithful browser version of Chrome's accidental classic. Tap to leap over cacti, duck under pterodactyls, and watch the desert silhouette accelerate until reaction time is all that stands between you and a fresh high score. The pixel-clean visuals and pure one-button input make it instantly approachable, while the steadily rising speed transforms a casual diversion into a real reflex test. It is the kind of endless runner you boot up for thirty seconds and find yourself still playing ten minutes later, chasing a personal best.

Questions about Chrome Dino

How do I duck in Chrome Dino?

Press the down arrow key or swipe down on mobile to duck. Ducking lets you pass safely under pterodactyls that you can't jump over.

Why does the dinosaur keep speeding up?

The game gets faster the longer you survive, which raises the difficulty until your reflexes can't keep up and the run ends.
