Awesome Google Easter Eggs
In this Instructable, I will be sharing with you some of the best Google easter eggs on the web.
(An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in a work such as a computer program, video game, or movie.)
"Askew"
Searching Google for "askew" or "tilt" will cause the search results to be displayed at a slight angle.
"Atari Breakout"
Searching Google for "Atari Breakout" using Images will start a game of Breakout using the image results as bricks. When one wins, it searches something else randomly and plays again.
"Do a Barrel Roll"
Searching Google for "Do a barrel roll" will cause the search results to rotate 360 degrees when showing.
"Zerg Rush"
Searching Google for "zerg rush" causes a bunch of Google "o"s to attack the result page and eventually destroy it; the user can, however, fight back by tapping on them. After destroying the results, the "o"s then arrange themselves into 'GG', meaning "Good Game".
"Bletchley Park"
Searching Google for "Bletchley Park" will cause the title of the info card to appear as if it was being deciphered by Google.
"Conway's Game of Life"
Searching Google for "Conway's Game of Life" will produce the Life simulation described by Conway. It will spell "Google" if the user looks closely.
"Google in 1998"
Searching Google for "Google in 1998" results in a 1998 Google search screen appearing in place of the current Google search screen.
Google Pig Latin Interface
The Google engineers must have been bored when they designed this feature, but if you are interested, you can search Google using Pig Latin.
Google Pirate Interface
If you like, you can search the web with Google Pirate.
Google Mirror Interface
The search page and search results will appear as if they were reflected by a mirror:(elgoog.im).
Google Gravity Interface
The search page and search results will crash down and pile up at the bottom of the page:(elgoog.im/gravity/).
Underwater Google Interface
The search page and search results will fall from above and plunge underwater:(elgoog.im/underwater/).
Google Guitar Interface
To play a song on the Google guitar, you can either tap the strings or type in letters and numbers. A few songs are listed on the page.
Google Snake Interface
You can play a game of Snakes here by using the up, left, and right keys:(elgoog.im/snake/).
Google Terminal Interface
The search page and search results will appear in terminal format: (elgoog.im/terminal/)
