About me
Introduced by Google in 2014, the dino game (also called Chrome Dino or T-Rex Runner) was built into the Chrome browser as a creative and entertaining Easter egg. It activates automatically when a user loses internet access and tries to load a webpage. Rather than a blank error message, users are greeted with a small pixel-art T-Rex. What looks like a static icon becomes an active game with a single tap of the spacebar.
The idea came from Chrome UX designer Sebastien Gabriel, who described the game as a way to provide a “prehistoric” experience to reflect being offline—as if you’ve gone back in time.
