Snake

Snake on PadlessBox is a competitive game for big screens. The core loop stays classic: keep moving, collect points, grow longer, and avoid crashes. PadlessBox is browser based, uses phones as controllers, and runs on TVs or computers, so there are no installs. To play on a TV or projector, open PadlessBox on the main screen, create a room, choose TV mode, and show the room code so friends can join. The full screen layout stays readable from the couch, and rounds keep the room moving.

PadlessBox also supports remote sessions for teams and distant friends. Choose Remote mode, then share the room link or code in Slack, Teams, or Discord so everyone joins from their own browser. One player can host the main screen on a laptop or shared screen, while the rest play from their devices. The same quick setup makes Snake great for a short break or casual hangout.

The mechanics are tuned for speed and comebacks. Every player controls a snake that continuously moves, growing longer as points are collected. Collisions end a run, whether that is a wall, another snake, or your own trail. A key twist is that when a player is dead, the snake leaves all collected points behind. That creates a reward zone other players can scoop up, which speeds up play time because everyone can grow faster and the board stays active.

Snake has a recognizable history in video games. The concept goes back to 1970s arcade titles like Blockade, then spread to early home computers, hobbyist programming magazines, and handheld devices. By the late 1990s, Snake became a staple on mobile phones, and a built in Nokia version introduced the game to millions. PadlessBox builds on that legacy with a shared big screen, simple phone controls, and instant multiplayer energy.
