How to play Flappy Chicken
Flappy Chicken is a free tap-to-fly arcade game that runs right in your browser. Guide a very nervous chicken through a busy kitchen, slip between hanging frying pans and hot stoves, and try not to get roasted. No download, no sign-up, and it keeps working offline.
Controls
- Phone or tablet: tap anywhere on the game to flap.
- Computer: click, or press Space, W or the up arrow.
- Pause: the pause button, or P / Esc. The game also pauses when you switch tabs.
Obstacles
Hanging pans
Frying pans hang from the ceiling on metal pipes. Hitting the pan or the pipe gets you pan-fried.
Hot stoves
Stoves rise from the floor with a live flame on top. The flame counts, so give it some room or you get roasted.
The floor
Stop flapping and gravity wins. Keep a steady rhythm of small taps instead of big panicked ones.
Corn and chickens
Corn cobs float in and between the gaps. Grab them to unlock new breeds:
- White Leghorn: free, the classic. The classic. Nervous, but classic.
- Rhode Island Red: 150 corn. Toasty brown. Comes pre-seasoned.
- Ayam Cemani: 300 corn. Black as burnt toast. Very mysterious.
- Speckled Sussex: 450 corn. Freckles for days. Spots the danger.
- Lavender Orpington: 650 corn. Soft, fluffy and extremely fancy.
- Golden Buff: 1200 corn. Worth its weight in corn. Shiny!
Medals
- RAW at 10 points
- MEDIUM at 25 points
- WELL-DONE at 50 points

Tips
- Tap early and lightly. The chicken rises fast and falls faster.
- Aim for the middle of each gap, not the edges. When the chicken starts sweating, you are too close.
- The game speeds up a little at 25, 50 and 100 points.
- Corn is never worth a roasting. Skip the risky ones.
