Let’s get this straight:
You’ve had access to a portal into Google’s secret funhouse of Easter eggs for YEARS. Not Google tips. Not tricks. We’re talking actual Google Easter Eggs — games, jokes, glitches, and code-based chaos.
You typed “define oxymoron” and left.
Meanwhile, Google had Snake, Space Invaders, Thanos… even a black hole.
Welcome to the WTF layer of the internet’s most boring-looking homepage.
🎮 1. Type “Google Snake” — And Suddenly You’re 12 Again
Remember that ancient phone game where a line-eating dot grew until it trapped itself in pixel-hell?
Google’s version has themes. Power-ups. Multiplayer.
You can turn the snake into a cat. Or a fish. Or a UFO.
Yes, a UFO. Why? Because Google is cracked.
🔍 Search:
play snake
🌀 Shortcut: Google Snake Game
🦖 2. No Internet? Cool. Here’s a Dinosaur That Defies Gravity
When your Wi-Fi dies, Google doesn’t say “oh no!”
It says: “Here’s a T-Rex. Start running.”
Smash the spacebar and the lil’ dude hops cacti like he’s running from your deadlines.
But wait — it has secrets:
- Press down and jump mid-air = slow-motion flip glitch
- 2AM on Chrome version 69? Sometimes the sky goes night mode
- There’s a Chrome offline leaderboard if you go deep enough
This isn’t a game. It’s a shadow sport for insomniacs.
🔌 Just unplug and type anything. Spacebar = pain.
🌀 3. “Askew” Makes Your Screen Tilt Like It’s Drunk
Google has a sense of humor. A tilted one.
Type askew and watch the screen slant slightly — just enough to make you think:
“Is my monitor broken or is Google gaslighting me?”
Same thing with tilt.
This is low-key psychological warfare.
🧊 4. Type “Do a Barrel Roll” and Buckle Up
Go ahead.
Type it.
do a barrel roll
Your whole browser does a literal flip.
No warning. Just yeet.
People have actually filed IT tickets over this thinking their laptop got hacked.
It’s part of the culture now.
(And yes, there’s a hidden 360 mode if you spam it.)
💀 5. “Thanos” — The Snap That Deletes Half Your Results
This one’s gone now, but once upon a time, typing Thanos and clicking the gauntlet icon would snap away half the search results in real-time.
Not fade out.
Dust. Disappear. Gone.
You’d reload and BOOM — everything vanished like your ex after getting closure.
Thanos Snap was so viral, Reddit crashed twice over it.
🦴 You can try: thanos to see old snapshots of it.
👾 6. There’s Literally a Zerg Rush
Gamers, assemble.
If you type Zerg Rush, O’s start attacking your search results.
Like, actual Google O’s.
They eat your links. You have to click them to fight back.
It’s a full-on mini RTS battle hiding inside your browser.
Bonus: After losing, the O’s spell out GG. Bruh.
👻 7. Google Gravity: The Search Page Falls Apart Like Jenga
This one’s a chaotic masterpiece.
Go to:
The entire search interface drops like someone cut the strings.
You can fling the search bar. Dropkick the logo. Stack buttons like LEGO.
It’s physics + internet + pure anarchy.
Best part? You can still search by typing mid-collapse.
💡 But WHY Does Google Hide These Easter Eggs?
Because Google is secretly a nerd with developer ADHD and infinite money.
Most of these were built:
- As internal jokes
- During company hackathons
- By bored engineers with godlike access to the world’s most used homepage
They never removed them because:
- Users LOVE them
- They’re great for brand personality
- It makes Google feel human… in a very “we control your data but play Snake with us” way
🔍 Bonus Quickfire Google Easter Eggs:
| Search This | What Happens |
|---|---|
anagram | Google asks if you meant “nag a ram” (🤯) |
blink html | Every instance of “blink” will blink. Meta. |
recursion | Google suggests the same word again. And again. (LOL) |
once in a blue moon | It literally shows you the actual math of how often that happens |
google in 1998 | You’ll time travel. For real. OG homepage and all. |
📣 Final Bruh Take:
Google’s got secrets, sure — but some secrets are straight-up cultural. If this blew your mind, wait till you find out people can legally marry the dead in France.
Google could’ve kept its homepage boring.
Instead, it gave us:
- Boss battles with letters
- Dino parkour
- Physics-engine chaos
- Code-based puns
- Soul-snapping cosmic wipes
And you…
you were just out here typing “current time in New York.”
