How to play Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is a one-button arcade game. Tap or press a key to make the bird flap upward; let go and gravity pulls it down. Guide it through the gaps between pairs of pipes. A single touch of a pipe or the ground ends the run — how far can you get?
- 1 Tap the screen, click, or press space to flap upward.
- 2 Stop tapping and the bird falls with gravity.
- 3 Steer through the gap in each set of pipes.
- 4 Touching a pipe or the ground ends the game.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Flappy Bird?
Tap in a steady rhythm to keep the bird level, flapping just before each gap so you glide cleanly between the pipes.
Why is Flappy Bird so hard?
The bird is always falling and a single touch ends the run, so it demands constant, precise timing with no room for error.
What are the controls?
A single input — tap, click, or space — makes the bird flap. There is nothing else to manage.
What is a good score?
Getting into double digits is a solid run; the steady difficulty means even experienced players rarely go far without full focus.
