🦖 Dino Run

The dinosaur runner you can actually duck in on a phone: tap the top half to jump the cactus, hold the bottom half to duck under a diving flyer. It speeds up the further you go, one hit ends the run, and there is a 600m sprint track with a real finish line.

🕹️ How to play

  1. How to start playing Dino Run: Open the page and hit Start running — no download, no sign-up. The first 3 seconds are deliberately empty so you can get a feel for it, and the very first obstacle is always the easiest small cactus, at roughly the 25 metre mark.
  2. How to jump over ground obstacles: Tap the top half of the screen (or press Space / ↑ on desktop) to jump. A quick tap is a short hop that lands sooner; holding gives you a full, higher jump. Any length of press clears any single ground obstacle — holding just gives you more margin.
  3. How to duck in the dinosaur game on a phone: Hold the bottom half of the screen, hold the Duck button, or hold ↓ on a keyboard. The hit box drops the instant you press, so holding is always safe, and that is the only way under the low flyers that skim the ground.
  4. How scoring and speed-up work: The metres you run are your score. Every 100m the game flashes and steps up a speed gear, capping out at 1000m. Day flips to night every 300m. Hitting anything ends the run immediately, and the result screen shows this run and your all-time best.

📖 Rules & variants

Basic rules: the dino is fixed toward the left of the field and runs forward automatically while ground obstacles and three heights of flyer scroll in from the right. You get exactly two moves — jump and duck. Touching anything ends the run instantly; there are no lives and no levels, and the metres you covered are the score.

The three flyer heights: a low flyer skims the ground and must be ducked — jumping into it is what kills people. A mid flyer at waist height can be ducked under or cleared with a full held jump. A high flyer passes over your head, so the correct answer is to do nothing at all; only a panic jump can hit it.

Does it get harder: yes, but with a ceiling. Speed steps up every 100m from 8.5 m/s to a hard cap of 15 m/s at 1000m, after which it never gets faster. Difficulty then comes from richer obstacle combinations instead, so it never turns into a pure reflex wall.

Are the obstacles random: the order is random, the difficulty is not. Every combination is a hand-authored template that has been machine-verified as clearable at the speeds it can appear at, and the random draw only picks the order. The same template never appears three times in a row, flyers never come in groups, and the first 3 seconds are always empty.

How the 600m sprint works: it is a track with a real finish line, and everyone who opens it on the same day runs the same course. You get 2 revives — a crash revives you on the spot with 1.5s of invulnerability but costs a 5 second penalty, and a third crash means you did not finish. Zero revives finishes in 60.0s (Flawless), one in 65.0s (Steady), two in 70.0s (Clutch), so the clock is really a count of your mistakes.

How many players: solo distance chasing is the main mode and a run takes 20–90 seconds. For a group, turn on pass-and-play in the settings so 2–8 people take turns on one phone. Everyone runs the identical track, and the leaderboard ranks by metres when the last person is done.

Getting interrupted: switching tabs or taking a call auto-pauses the run, freezing your metres — they are never reset to zero. Coming back does not resume automatically; you tap Resume and get a 3-2-1 countdown first, so you never return straight into a cactus. You can also pause any time with the button or Esc.

❓ FAQ

How do you play Dino Run?
Tap the top half of the screen (or Space / ↑) to jump ground obstacles, and hold the bottom half (or hold ↓) to duck under flyers. Touching anything ends the run, and the metres you covered are your score. The first 3 seconds are empty and the first obstacle is the easiest small cactus.
How do you duck in the dinosaur game on a phone?
Hold the bottom half of the screen, or hold the Duck button at the bottom of the page; let go and the dino stands back up. Most browser dinosaur games only give you a jump on touch, which turns low flyers into pure luck. Here ducking is a first-class touch control and the hit box drops the moment you press.
What are the best tips for a high score in Dino Run?
Look ahead instead of watching the dino, and decide jump-or-duck before the obstacle is on top of you. Quick taps are short hops that land sooner, which is what you need when a big rock is immediately followed by a low flyer; hold for height when it is a big rock alone. The flyer answers are: low means duck, mid means duck or full jump, high means do nothing.
What is the dinosaur game that appears when there is no internet?
It is the offline easter egg built into browsers in 2014, created by Sebastien Gabriel, Alan Bettes and Edward Jung. This page is an original remake of that kind of play — the character, obstacles and art are all drawn from scratch and unaffiliated with it — with mobile ducking, pause-and-resume and a finish-line sprint added on top.
Does the dinosaur game have an ending or can you beat it?
Endless mode has no ending; you run until you crash. This page also has a 600m sprint track that you can genuinely finish, with 2 revives that each cost a 5 second penalty. A zero-revive finish is the perfect 60.0s run. The track changes daily and everyone who plays on the same day gets the same one.
Does Dino Run keep getting faster forever?
No. It steps up one gear every 100m, from 8.5 m/s to a cap of 15 m/s at 1000m, and then stays there. After the cap, difficulty comes from harder obstacle combinations, which keeps roughly 0.9 seconds of reaction time on every obstacle so it never becomes a memorisation game.
Why doesn't the dino jump when I press?
That old complaint is fixed here. A jump pressed within 180ms before landing is remembered and fires on the landing frame, and a press within 120ms of leaving the ground still counts — but only once per airborne stretch, so mashing in mid-air can never double jump. The hit boxes are also smaller than the sprites, so a near miss really is a miss.
