Dino Run — a free online arcade game on TotType
Dino Run is an endless desert runner in the spirit of the browser's famous offline dinosaur. Your dino runs on its own; you jump over the cacti and, once you are far enough in, duck under low-flying birds. The ground speeds up as you go until it reaches its top speed, day turns to night every so often, and a single mistake ends the run — which is exactly why the next one starts with one tap. Score is distance in metres, so a personal best is a number worth chasing. It's free in any browser with no download — anyone can try a demo run with no account, and a free parent account with a verified email unlocks unlimited play.

Tips & tricks
- Jump late rather than early: the dino clears a cactus easily, but landing on the next one is how most runs end.
- Birds fly at two heights — low ones need a duck, high ones just need you to keep running.
- The speed climbs with distance, so the rhythm that worked at 300 m is too slow at 1,000 m. Start pressing a beat sooner.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Dino Run?
Tap the screen, click, or press Space or the Up arrow to jump. Hold the Down arrow or the Duck button to slide under birds. Don't touch anything.
Does Dino Run end?
No — it is endless. The desert gets faster as you run (up to a top speed), and the score is how many metres you covered before hitting something.
What is the highest score in Dino Run?
There is no cap. With a verified account every run posts to the arcade leaderboard, so the top of the board is whatever the best runner has managed — all-time or this month.
Can I play Dino Run online with friends?
Yes. Open Dino Run and choose Play online to join everyone playing it right now: up to 4 players a round, all starting together, and the highest score wins. When nobody else is on, computer players marked as bots hold the empty seats, and a real player always takes a bot's place. To play only with friends, make a private room and share its 4-character code. Online play needs a free parent account with a verified email, and players see only each other's nicknames and scores: there is no chat.
