Desktop tips
- Use Space to start and jump, ↓ to duck — keep both hands resting lightly.
- Zoom for comfort: Ctrl/Cmd + + enlarges the game if it feels small on a big monitor.
- Plugged in beats battery: power-saver modes throttle frames — if the game stutters, see the lag fix guide.
On a work machine?
Some managed Windows PCs disable chrome://dino. Our site works regardless, since it's an ordinary web page — same story as school devices, covered in dino game unblocked.
Using a Chromebook instead? That has its own quirks: the Chromebook guide.
