Crossy Road

What Is Crossy Road?

Crossy Road is an endless arcade-style frogger-inspired game where your goal is to help your character: starting with a brave chicken, crossing a series of roads, train tracks, and rivers without getting hit or falling in.

The longer you survive, the higher your score climbs. But beware — traffic speeds up, trains come out of nowhere, and water logs shift unpredictably. One wrong move, and it’s game over!

Your journey doesn’t end there though. You can use the coins you collect along the way to unlock new characters, each bringing their own world or special effects. From wizards to unicorns, from penguins to zombies, every character gives Crossy Road a fresh, hilarious twist.

Your main objective is to keep moving forward without getting crushed by cars, hit by trains, or falling into rivers. You earn one point for every step forward but hesitation is your enemy. Wait too long, and an eagle swoops down to carry you away!

Obstacles and Challenges

Each environment in Crossy Road brings its own dangers. You’ll need lightning-fast reflexes to survive:

Highways: Dodge speeding cars, buses, and trucks.

Train Tracks: Watch out for trains that appear suddenly — listen for the warning bell!

Rivers: Jump on floating logs or lily pads to stay above water.

Grasslands: Slow-moving but deceptive — sometimes obstacles hide behind trees.

As you progress, obstacles get faster, patterns more complex, and the world more unpredictable.

Unique Environments

Crossy Road isn’t limited to just one endless road — it’s a world full of creative settings and themes. Depending on your character, you might find yourself hopping through:

• Bustling city streets
• Peaceful meadows and farms
• Frozen snowfields
