On macOS, Snake is distributed through a.zip file titled Adobe Flash Player.app.zip. This file contains a legitimate, but backdoored, version of the Adobe’s Flash Player. How can the answer be improved? If Flash or Reader plugins are enabled, Adobe will prompt users to download and install new updates with automatic update notices. However, it's a good idea to always doubt the validity of automatic software update notices, especially those for Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Reader.
Yes it is safe if you only download direct from Adobe.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.

You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a 'blocked plug-in' error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player▹ Advanced
