Dinosaur games come in two moods: fast ones where a dinosaur runs for its life, and patient ones about fossils and discovery. The catalogue has one of each, so pick the speed that suits you.

## Dino Dash: an endless dinosaur runner

Dino Dash stars an original teal raptor with a flapping scarf. Tap or press space to jump and hold for a higher jump, swipe down or press down to duck, and dodge cacti, rocks, logs and swooping pterosaurs while collecting eggs. The run passes through desert, jungle and volcano with day and night, the speed keeps rising, and a flag marks your best distance on the next run.

## Dino Dig: uncover the bones

Dino Dig is slower and more careful. Brush away dirt and chip at rock to uncover fossils without cracking them, then drag the bones into place to rebuild each skeleton for your museum.

## Looking for the browser's offline dinosaur game?

The dinosaur that appears when Chrome cannot load a page is part of the Chrome browser, and Chrome offers it there. Dino Dash is a separate, original runner with its own character, obstacles and biomes, made for this site. It also adds things the offline game does not have, such as eggs to collect, close-call bonuses and a scarf that changes colour as you collect eggs over many runs.

## Questions

**How do I duck in Dino Dash?** Swipe down anywhere on the screen, or press the down arrow or S on a keyboard. Ducking in mid-air also drops you faster.

**Is Dino Dash the same as the Chrome dinosaur game?** No. It is an original game with a different dinosaur, obstacles and levels; only the general idea of a running dinosaur is shared.
