Snake

Why Choose This Activity

Snake suits players who enjoy a familiar arcade-style challenge with clear goals. It fits the Sharp Mind path and works well for short, repeatable rounds. Relax and Easy use wrapping edges so crashes are less punishing while players build confidence.

Familiar controls, wrapping borders on lower tiers, and optional recovery items make reactive planning approachable while personal bests reward improvement.

How It Plays

Guide the snake to eat fruit and grow longer. After Start, tap the board to begin moving, then swipe or use arrow buttons to turn; different fruits add length and points, while timed oranges and recovery items show a shrinking ring. The snake speeds up every four fruits. Avoid hitting yourself, deadly walls on harder levels, charcoal blocks from Normal up, and a moving hazard on Expert.

Settings & Difficulty

Levels: relax / easy / normal / hard / expert

• Relax through Expert: board size, deadly walls, fruit count, and score multiplier increase
• Relax through Normal: edges wrap; Hard and Expert use deadly borders
• Score is fruit points times difficulty multiplier
• Pause with P on keyboard; game sounds available

Facilitator Tips

• Start on Relax - small board with soft wrapping edges and a single fruit at a time.
• Point out the ring around oranges and recovery items; they vanish when time runs out.
• Shears, razor, and knife recovery items shorten the tail without reducing score or changing pace.
• On Hard and Expert, walls are deadly and more fruit appears on the board at once.
