On Spotify, “Eat this playlist” is the name of a small hidden game, not a normal music function.
What it means
“Eat this playlist” is a Snake-style mini‑game where you control a little shape (like the classic Snake) that moves around and “eats” the cover images of tracks from the playlist you chose. As the snake eats song covers, it grows longer and the tracks play in the background, turning your playlist into the “food” for the game.
How it works (in brief)
- You open a playlist (usually with a minimum number of tracks), tap the three‑dot menu, and select “Eat this playlist” if the feature is available in your app and region.
- You then swipe up, down, left, or right to steer the snake toward the small album covers; each one you “eat” increases your score and length, and hitting walls or yourself can end or penalize the run.
Availability notes
The feature is limited: it has mainly appeared on the mobile app (especially iOS), in certain regions, and not all users or playlists show the option, since Spotify often tests such features with only part of its user base.
