Snakes & Ladders online. A classic, one roll away.

Find your favourite mode

The play button opens a local board. Choose Same device to share a screen, Play with a friend to create a private invitation, or Vs computer to play alone. No download or account is required.

The rules of this climb

Gold (player 1) starts before square 1; Teal (player 2) follows. Roll one fair six-sided die and move automatically along the numbered, alternating rows. Any roll can enter the board. A six does not give an extra turn.

Land exactly on a ladder’s foot to climb to its top. Land on a snake’s head to slide to its tail. Passing either endpoint has no effect. Both tokens can share a square without capturing each other.

The first token to reach 100 wins. You need the exact number: a roll past 100 leaves the token in place and passes the turn. All three modes use the same fixed board, with six ladders and six snakes.

One button, every move

Tap or click Roll dice. The movement, climb or slide happens automatically. For keyboard play, focus the roll button with Tab and press Enter or Space. The highlighted player card shows who plays, and numbered tokens distinguish the colours.

Choose how to share the race

Two-player mode needs one screen. A private online room uses separate devices and a link you share yourself; there is no random matchmaking. The computer mode runs locally and rolls automatically.

The website needs a connection to load. A private room also needs both players connected throughout the game. If a connection drops, wait for it to recover before rolling again.

Save the next roll for later

Local and computer rounds save separately in this browser when storage is available. Changing modes restores that mode’s round. New round asks before replacing unfinished offline play. Clearing browser data removes these saves.

Online rolls are confirmed after the server saves them. Return through the same invitation and browser to keep your seat. Both friends must be connected; after a guest joins, both must agree to a new round. Inactive rooms expire after seven days.
