The Dinosaur Game, Always Online
Welcome to dinosaur-games.net, the home of free browser dinosaur games. The game above is our flagship dinosaur runner: an endless desert sprint where a pixel dino jumps cacti, ducks under swooping pterodactyls, and speeds up the longer you survive. It is inspired by the famous no-internet Easter egg, but here it is always available — no lost connection required, no download, no sign-up.
Start with one tap or a press of the spacebar. Your best score is saved in your browser, so every run is a shot at your own record. When you are warmed up, read our high-score guide or see what it takes to beat the dinosaur game world record.
How to Play the Dinosaur Game
- Start — press SPACE or tap the game area once.
- Jump — SPACE or ↑ clears cacti and rocks. On phones and tablets, tap anywhere on the game.
- Duck — hold ↓ to slide under low-flying pterodactyls.
- Survive — the run gets faster over time, and the desert cycles from day to night. One mistake ends the run.
