Method 1
Method 1 of 4:

Playing Slither.io the Safe Way

  1. 1
    Stick to the edges of the the arena, staying away from the middle. To start with, look at the map in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You can see the map is circular and has many dots inside of it. The biggest white dot is you. The map is sectioned off into four quadrants, try moving your snake to the edge of a quadrant so you can be far away from other snakes.
  2. 2
    Collect the dots. Feed them to your snake to make it bigger. This is not only the safest way, but it is the most time-consuming method. So it is suggested that you only use this method if you want a longer game of Slither.io.

Method 2
Method 2 of 4:

Focusing on the Center of the Map

  1. 1
    Know when to best use this method. Going to the center of the map is less time-consuming but your risks of crashing are higher.
  2. 2
    Advance to the center of the map. To start off with, look at the map in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and follow it to where the the four quadrants meet. The snakes you are looking for may not be in the exact center, but should be very close. As soon as you see a huge snake, you know you are there.
  3. 3
    Get into the middle of the action. At this point you should still be a small snake so it will be easier to navigate. You don't have to kill any snake just yet, others will do it for you. Once you see a snake nearby being killed, collect some mass so you get longer then leave the center of action. Now you should be a good size but on the outside of the chaos.
  4. 4
     Collect mass from outside of the chaos. It's not as plentiful as on the inside, but you can be more careful and in less danger from the outside.
  5. 5
    Avoid dying by swerving and circling. Kill the smaller snakes and any bigger snake that is practically right in front of you. Try to avoid making it obvious your trying to kill them. Suddenly speeding up is a clear giveaway and they will either kill you or get away.

Method 3 of 4:

Following the Biggest Snake

  1. 1
    Look at your map and get to the center. On the way there, pick up any dots you can find. Once this is done and you are at the center of the map, locate the biggest snake.
  2. 2
    Follow it as closest as possible. This can mean traveling with the snake along their side or following their tail. Either way, you wait for them to die.
  3. 3
    Collect the mass of the large snake when they die. Don't let anyone get in front of you, this method is dangerous. Collect as much as you can from the dying snake, then find another big snake. Do this as many times as you want to until you are the biggest snake, then move to another method.

Method 4 of 4:

Circling Smaller Snakes

  1. 1
    Use one of the previous methods to develop a long snake. Once you are happy with your size, find a snake that is smaller than you. Try to get as close to it as possible without being killed.
  2. 2
    Cut them off from any escape. If you kill them there, collect their mass and move on to another snake. If they don't die, they will turn to try to get away. Keep cutting it off and make a ring around it to prevent escape.
  3. 3
    Keep circling around the trapped snake. Make the circle smaller and smaller until the snake inside has no where to go and touches the side of your snake. Once it touches your side, the loot is all yours, as no one else can take it.

    Your best bet is to try and quickly get them out when they don't expect it. Alternatively, just try to safely speed away from them.

    Start by eating smaller snakes and you will keep getting bigger. When you reach the size of at least 3000, start trapping the snakes in a circle and eating them. Keep doing it and you will be at the top of leader boards.

    Try to avoid speeding and going in head first. If you are big enough, circle around as much mass as you can so nobody else can take it. But be careful, sometimes large snakes take advantage of the mad rush and circle everybody.
