What is Slither.io?

Slither.io is an online browser-based (and mobile) free multiplayer game in which players compete to become the largest snake on the server. The catch? If another player runs their snake's head into yours, you are out of the game and must restart. However, if other snakes run into you, they die (and you get their glowing orbs that you can eat to grow longer).

Because of the fast pace gameplay, competitive nature, sleek visuals, and customization options, Slither.io continues to be popular among casual and competitive gamers.

How to Play Slither.io

Open the Slither.io Game

You can play Slither.io directly in your browser by navigating to https://slither.io or you can download the free app on:

  • iOS from the Apple App Store
  • Android from Google Play

You don’t have to register for anything, so just click the play button and start playing.

Choose Your Nickname

Before you begin, you will need to choose a nickname for your slither. This is your in-game identity that other players will see as you navigate around the map.

Tip: A clever name can help you stand out or scare off your opponents!

Personalized Slither

Next, you can personalize how your slither looks by choosing from the many available skins that you can customize with. There are flags from various countries, crazy patterns, or famous character themes.

To unlock skins on mobile, you may be asked to share the game or do something quick.

Basic controls

  • Move: Move your mouse (or finger on mobile) to steer your slither however you wish.
  • Boost: Click and hold (or tap and hold on mobile) to speed up. Boosting increases your speed but makes you a little bit shorter, so be careful!

Slither.io Gameplay Tips

  • Like and other .io games, you'll want to eat glowing pellets that litter the whole map to get longer.
  • You can eliminate other players by making them ram into you, causing their slither to disappear into a stream of glowing orbs that you can quickly eat for length.
  • Be smart about it: Encircle smaller slithers or block a slither from escaping. When you trap and eliminate them, you create a huge mass of glowing orbs.
  • Stay on the edge when you're just getting started, and slowly work your way to the middle as you grow in size, confidence, and speed.
  • Don't be greedy: Large masses can be a tempting target, but it can be dangerous—keep your eye on your surroundings at all times.
