Dino Runner

Play Dino Runner free online. Help a little dinosaur leap over cacti and duck under birds as the desert speeds up.

An endless desert dash. Your dinosaur runs by itself — jump over cacti, and duck or jump past birds swooping in at different heights. The pace keeps rising, and day turns to night the further you get.

How to play Dino Runner

Objective: Run as far as you can without hitting an obstacle.

  1. Jump over cacti — some are tall, some come in groups.
  2. Birds fly low, in the middle or high: jump the low ones, duck under the high ones.
  3. Holding down in mid-air makes you fall faster, which helps with quick combinations.

Scoring

One point for every 10 units of distance.

Difficulty levels

Easy: gentle starting speed and acceleration. Hard: fast from the start and much quicker to accelerate.

Tips

  • Jump a little early at high speeds.
  • Watch the bird’s height before deciding to jump or duck.
