Try this hidden game in Google’s mobile Chrome browser

By Bryan Rilloraza November 27, 2014

I’m sure most of you have seen this before. That little T-Rex image that pops up when you try to access the web on Google’s mobile Chrome when there’s no Internet.

There’s actually a hidden game behind it. If you want to try it out, here’s how to do it:

First, make sure you have the latest version of Chrome on your Android device
Turn off both your WiFi and mobile data
Open an new tab in Chrome. You’ll get the offline dinosaur message.
Click on the dinosaur and it’ll start running through a dessert. You have to jump over cacti to score points.

That’s it really. Nothing much about it except that its a bit fun to play. And it’s something else to do if you’re stuck somewhere without Internet.
