The Dinosaur Game was introduced by Google in 2014 as an Easter egg inside the Chrome browser. Whenever users lost connection to the internet, a small message appeared along with a pixelated Tyrannosaurus rex. Pressing the spacebar would instantly start the game, transforming a moment of frustration into an opportunity for fun. This clever idea helped soften the annoyance of connection issues and added a touch of humor to the otherwise mundane experience of waiting for the internet to return.

At its core, the Dinosaur Game is an endless runner, a genre where the character keeps moving forward while the player attempts to survive as long as possible. The objective is simple: avoid obstacles by jumping or ducking. The T-Rex runs across a desert landscape filled with cacti and swooping pterodactyls. Players must react quickly to avoid colliding with any object, as even a single mistake ends the run. The longer you play, the faster the game becomes, gradually increasing the difficulty and testing your reflexes.
