Stuck without internet? Don't worry—Google's Dinosaur Game has your back. This simple yet addictive browser game, also known as the “Chrome Dino” or “Dino Runner,” appears when you lose connection on Google Chrome. What started as a hidden Easter egg has become a fan-favorite mini-game enjoyed by millions.

What is the Dinosaur Game?

The Dinosaur Game stars a pixelated T-Rex who must run endlessly through a desert landscape, dodging cacti, birds, and other obstacles. The goal is simple: survive as long as possible without crashing. As you keep going, the speed increases and the game becomes more challenging. There’s no end—just your high score and fast reflexes.

How to Play

• Start the Game: Open Google Chrome without an internet connection or type Dinosaur Game in the address bar.

• Controls: Press the spacebar to jump. As the game progresses, you’ll need to time your jumps carefully and eventually duck under flying enemies by pressing the down arrow key.

Why Do People Love It?

• Simplicity: No tutorials, no fancy graphics—just pure fun.

• Accessibility: Anyone can play it with no downloads or installations.

• Surprising Depth: While it looks basic, the increasing speed and timing make it challenging and competitive.

Fun Fact

The game was created by Google developers in 2014, and the T-Rex was chosen because it symbolized the "prehistoric" state of being offline.
