Google added a hidden T. Rex side-scrolling mini-game to Chrome Canary in mid-2014, which eventually made its way into the browser’s stable build. The game is triggered whenever you encounter a “No Internet” connection error. By pressing the space bar or the up arrow key, you can help the pixelated dinosaur leap into action.
The gameplay mechanics are simple yet addictive: the T. Rex must jump over cacti and duck under flying pterodactyls as it runs through an endless desert landscape. Your progress is tracked with a score, and your high score is displayed during the session. However, once the window is closed or refreshed, all progress and scores are lost.
For those who don’t want to wait for their internet connection to fail, there’s a way to access the game directly. Simply open the following address in a Chrome tab:
chrome://dino/
or
chrome://network-error/-106
The small Easter egg has become a beloved feature among Chrome users, offering a moment of fun during otherwise frustrating connection issues. Google’s T. Rex game has even gained a bit of cultural significance, with users competing for the highest scores and sharing their achievements online.
