Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird is an iconic side-scrolling game in which you click to avoid obstacles. It was originally released as a mobile game but discontinued by its developer, Dong Nyugen. Today, you can play this simple but addictive one-button game online.

Flappy Bird is a classic retro challenge. At first, it simply seems too hard to be any fun as you fail again and again. But as you keep trying in the family progress is slowly made. What we love about the game is how it teaches resilience to keep going when something seems impossible. We now play it together, taking turns to see who can get the highest score.

How to Play Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird's gameplay is best described as simple, addictive, yet mildly infuriating. Tap carefully to raise the bird up and navigate through the gaps in the green pipes without crashing. When the inevitable crash occurs, you'll earn a score that you can try and outdo on your next run. It's addictive!

Play it Only on the Web.

Flappy Bird was originally created as a mobile game but was later removed from the app stores and in an interview with Forbes, Dong Nguyen, the developer of Flappy Bird, cited the game's addictive nature as the reason for its removal from the stores.

Despite this, you can still play the original Flappy Bird for free in your web browser, using a desktop or mobile device!
