Search for “askew” and see your search results tilt slightly to the right. It’s a subtle but clever trick that’ll make you do a double-take.
3. Google Gravity
Visit the website Google Gravity created by Mr. Doob, and watch as the entire Google homepage crumbles to the bottom of the screen. You can even toss elements around with your mouse!
4. Zerg Rush
Type “Zerg rush” into Google, and prepare for an invasion! Tiny “O”s will start attacking your search results, mimicking the gameplay of StarCraft. Click on the O’s to fend them off before they destroy everything.
5. The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything
Fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will love this one. Search for “the answer to life, the universe, and everything,” and Google Calculator will reveal the famous answer: 42.
6. Thanos Snap
Search for “Thanos” and click on the Infinity Gauntlet icon that appears on the right side of the page. Watch as half your search results disappear, just like in Avengers: Infinity War. You can click the gauntlet again to restore balance to your search results.

Feeling nostalgic? Search for “Pac-Man” and an interactive Google Doodle version of the classic arcade game will appear. Click to start playing and navigate Pac-Man through the maze using your keyboard.

10. Roll a Dice
For board game enthusiasts, Google’s “roll a dice” feature is a lifesaver. Just type “roll a dice,” and you can roll a single die or multiple dice of varying sides (d6, d20, etc.) for your gaming needs.
