Play the iconic Flappy Bird arcade game free online in your browser. Tap or press Space to flap through pipe gates, score points, and earn bronze to platinum medals.

How to Play Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is an iconic physics-based one-tap arcade game. Navigate your bird through hazardous pipe gates by timing each flap against constant gravity.

Every successful gate cleared awards +1 point. Even a grazing collision with pipes, ceiling, or the ground ends the run.

Pro Strategies & Flight Tactics

  • Find your Flap Rhythm: Tap with short, consistent intervals rather than panic double-jumping.
  • Target the Bottom Pipe Rim: Aim to enter gaps close to the bottom pipe cap so your upward hop clears the middle with plenty of room.
  • Stay Calm After Passing: Immediately prepare for the vertical position of the next pipe before the bird begins to drop.
  • Earn Medals: Score 10 for Bronze, 20 for Silver, 30 for Gold, and 40+ for the legendary Platinum Medal.
