Google games: The 5 easter eggs that are free to play
Google is a search engine, yes, but it is also a library of fun, fast and accessible games. Apart from the Dinosaur game when the Internet goes down... what other games are there?
We can't imagine life without Google. From using Google maps to navigate the places we go to, to using Google lens to identify anything and everything, including skin conditions we could possibly have.
Google, beyond the utility of providing a universe of information at the tip of our hands, also provides access to little easter eggs. For example, you may have heard of T-Rex Run, the game in which you control a cute tyrannosaurus that has to jump over obstacles when your Internet connection fails.
But did you know that there are many other games hidden on Google? Here are the best of them.
1. Google Snake
Let's start with a classic. Some of you may remember Snake, the mythical game featured on the indestructible Nokia 3310 cell phones at a time when ADSL was still just a pipe dream.
Well, Google has its own version of the Snake game. To access it, simply type 'google snake game' in the Google search bar and you're ready to go. You can then use the arrow keys to steer your snake and get it to eat as many apples as possible without running into walls.
2. Google Pac-Man
Do the ghosts of Pac-Man hold no secrets for you? Then why not rediscover the cult game from 1980 directly in your Google browser. Just type 'pac-man' into the search engine and you'll be able to chase ghosts to the sound of cult music.
3. Google Solitaire
Are you in the mood for a game of solitaire? If so, there's also a Google version of the famous solitaire game. Just type 'google solitaire' into your search engine. The perfect way to pass the time when you don't have any friends to play with. A timeless game, that just happens to be one of the free titles that can be played offline...
4. Google Gravity
Feeling like a destroyer? Discover Google Gravity and watch the search bar crumble before your astonished eyes, and have fun launching the various elements by catching them with your mouse. It's a blast.
5. A Google a day
Finally, because a good general knowledge is always useful, you can test your knowledge by trying your hand at the Google a day quiz. Go to the quiz site and try your hand at answering the many questions posed by the search engine. The great thing is that you can use the search engine to guide you in your answers. Fun and instructive.
