About Snakes & Ladders
Snakes & Ladders brings the board game everyone grew up with onto a single glowing screen, zigzag numbering and all. Ten rows of a hundred squares stretch from a cheerful green starting corner to a golden finish flag, and every roll of the big dice sends your token hopping forward one square at a time with a satisfying little bounce and tick. Land at the foot of a ladder and you slide straight up toward the top; land on a snake's head and you slip back down its curling body with a hiss, no matter how close to the finish you were.
Play solo against a computer opponent that rolls on its own after a short pause, or hand the device to a friend for old-fashioned pass-and-play. There's no skill to fake and no move to plan, just the dice, the board, and the swing of luck that makes this game endlessly replayable — overshoot square 100 and you'll bounce back the difference, so the race really isn't over until someone lands dead on the finish. Win and confetti rains down while the session scoreboard keeps count of who's ahead.
Where Snakes & Ladders comes from
Snakes and Ladders descends from Moksha Patam, an ancient Indian game in which the ladders stood for virtues such as generosity, faith and humility and the snakes for vices such as lust, anger, murder and theft, the lesson being that good deeds lead to liberation and bad ones to rebirth as a lower form of life. Colonial families brought it to Britain, where it appeared in 1892 (a round 100-square board registered that year by the London games maker Ayres survives in the V&A), and Milton Bradley reworked it for the United States as Chutes and Ladders in 1943, swapping the snakes for playground slides. This version is 360 PlayZone's own take on the classic. Source.
Inside Snakes & Ladders: what we checked
The numbers below come from Snakes & Ladders's own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- The board never changes. The ladders go 4 to 25, 13 to 46, 33 to 49, 42 to 63, 50 to 69, 58 to 77, 71 to 92 and 80 to 99. The snakes go 17 to 7, 54 to 34, 62 to 19, 64 to 60, 74 to 53, 87 to 24, 93 to 73 and 98 to 78.
- You have to finish exactly on 100. If your roll takes you past it, the token walks to 100 and then back by the extra steps, so from 98 a roll of 5 leaves you on 97.
- There is no extra turn for rolling a six. Every roll moves a token once and then passes the turn.
- The dice is a fair six-sided roll, and there are no choices to make anywhere in the game, so the computer opponent just rolls like you do and the result is pure luck.
- Tap the dice or press Space to roll. The game keeps a lifetime count of games played and wins for each side in this browser, as well as a score for the current session.

How to play Snakes & Ladders
Click or tap the dice (or press Space) to roll, and watch your token hop square by square across the board. Land on a ladder to climb up, or on a snake's head to slide back down. Keep rolling until you land exactly on square 100 to win — rolls that would overshoot bounce you back instead.
Controls
Desktop: click the dice or press Space to roll, M to mute. Touch: tap the dice to roll.
Tips & tricks
- Ladders near the end of the board are worth the wait — a good climb late in the game can undo a bad snake bite earlier on.
- Watch your total, not just the dice: an exact roll onto 100 wins outright, but overshooting just bounces you backward instead.
- In two-player mode, pass the device only after the token finishes hopping so nobody rolls out of turn.
- Against the computer, don't panic on a snake bite — the AI rolls the same dice you do, so the race usually stays close.
