How to Play the Dino Game: Controls, Scoring and Tips

Controls

The main game on this site is a jump-and-duck runner. Your dinosaur runs on its own; you control two things:

• Click or tap the left side of the game — jump
• Click or tap the right side of the game — duck

On a phone the same halves of the screen work: left half jumps, right half ducks.

How points work

Every candy you collect counts. The game speeds up every 10 points, so the better you do, the harder it gets. There is no finish line; a run ends when you hit something.

The other two dino games

• Dino Run Game — a runner played with the mouse or a tap. Portrait layout, slower pace.
• Dinos Rush — a platform adventure: arrow keys to move, on-screen buttons to jump and attack.

If the game does not start

1. Reload and press play again. Embedded games occasionally time out on a slow connection.
2. Allow the game frame for this site if a blocker is hiding it.
3. On a school laptop the network may filter the game frame itself. Our unblocked page explains how to tell that apart from a browser problem.
4. On a phone, fullscreen helps; the frame is 16:9.

One thing most players get wrong

The duck action is easy to forget under pressure. Crouch early when something flies at head height, then release immediately — holding the duck costs you the next jump.
