As a small business consultant, I‘m always looking for creative ways to boost morale, engagement, and collaboration. Who knew one of the best tools could be right in our browsers – Google Snake! The classic game is perfect for quick, entertaining breaks. And with mods, you can take it to the next level.
Based on my research and trials, these are the 10 best Google Snake mods available today. I‘ll provide tips to enhance your gameplay and inject more fun into your day!
A Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane
First released on Nokia mobile phones in 1998, Snake quickly became a global sensation. The addictive goal was simple – navigate a snake to eat apples and avoid walls or its own tail. With each apple, the snake grew longer, making control increasingly difficult.
Google launched its own browser version in 2013, remaining faithful to the retro graphics and gameplay. Since then, over 1 billion solo games of Google Snake have been played!
The nostalgia and simple fun have stood the test of time. But with mods, you can customize Snake to be much more than a throwback.
How to Enable Google Snake Mods
Activating mods requires adding an HTML bookmark file:
- Find the mod on GitHub and click the HTML file to download
- In Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+O for bookmarks and import the file
- The file will be in a folder called “Imported”
- Search Google for “snake game” and start playing
- Open settings and go to Bookmarks > Imported > "mod"
- Click the gear icon to enable the mod!
Now let‘s get to the fun part – the best mods to try.

2. Dark Mode – A Slick New Look
While some prefer rainbow snakes, this stylish mod features dark mode and other color schemes. It‘s perfect for a stealthy snake ready to strike in the night.
Over 4K fans have downloaded for after-hours fun. Options include:

3. Mouse Control – Easier Maneuvering
Traditional Snake uses arrow keys to slowly turn and align the snake. This popular mod with over 7K downloads lets you use your mouse/trackpad to steer instead.
Benefits include:
- More precise direction control
- Quickly react to apples and obstacles
- Natural feel similar to other games
Practice wiggling your mouse like the snake for best results! This mod is excellent for less experienced players.

4. No Walls – Challenge Yourself
Are boundaries too boring for you? This mod removes the outer walls to create an infinite playing field.
With no edges to trap you, the only obstacles are yourself and the occasional apple. It amplifies the difficulty but makes victories more rewarding.
Features include:
- Endless movement in all directions
- Pressure to carefully maneuver without walls
- Earning bragging rights for high scores
Feeling daring? Install this mod and see how long you can survive in the wild wilderness!

5. Custom Board Size – Cozier Quarters
The default Snake board is fairly large, giving you room to roam freely. This configurable mod lets you shrink or expand it for added challenge.
Benefits include:
- Smaller boards to increase difficulty
- Larger boards for relaxed gameplay
- Match size to your screen dimensions
- Unique square vs landscape modes
I suggest slowly reducing the size as you improve. But beware, quarters get cramped quickly in this mod!

6. Time Keeper – Track Scores Over Time
Unlike the original, this handy mod lets you save high scores across sessions. Install once for continuous scorekeeping.
It records:
- Highest overall score
- Longest time alive
- Quickest completion time
Now you can compete with yourself and colleagues over weeks rather than individual games. Who will top the Snake leaderboard with this mod enabled?

7. Ghost Mode – An Invisible Snake
This creative mod conceals the snake, only showing apples and boundaries. You must navigate based on apple locations and memory instead of directly controlling the snake.
Benefits include:
- Unique and disorienting challenge
- Surprise yourself by running into your hidden snake
- Memory and spatial reasoning skill development
Slither like a stealthy ghost to survive this mod! Beware – no snake means no margin for error.

8. Animated Colors – A Dazzling Display
Tired of the classic green snake and red apples? This colorful mod allows you to animate the background and snake‘s appearance.
Options include:
- Trippy rainbow backgrounds
- Radiating, blinking, or color-changing snake
- Fun effects like inverted or x-ray
- Custom speed and color combinations
I recommend limiting sessions with flashier animations to avoid headaches. But the visual thrill adds excitement for casual games or demos.

9. Twin Heads – Double Trouble
Instead of one head, this challenging mod gives your snake two! Both can steer independently, and the trailing head becomes the main after an apple.
Gameplay elements include:
- Alternating control between heads
- Carefully maneuvering without tying heads together
- Collaborating to collect more apples
- Competing to stay alive longer as the lead head
This is perfect for 2+ players. But even solo, the double thinking required takes concentration to the next level!

10. Cheese Mode – Quirky Snake Behaviors
This hilarious mod adds erratic snake behaviors for comedic chaos. Effects include:
- Random speed bursts
- Teleporting short distances
- Temporary invincibility after apples
- Resetting to tiny size unexpectedly
- Disco dance floor background
The glitchy unpredictability keeps you laughing. While not built for scoring, it‘s ideal for casual entertainment among friends. Don‘t take this silly snake too seriously!
