10 of the coolest Google Easter eggs

You might not know this, but there are certain phrases that you can type into your Google search that will throw up some slightly odd, but very cool results. Here is a list of the coolest Google Easter eggs for you to search

10. Blink html

Typing "blink html" into the Google will make all bold text blink.

9. Askew

For those who love things to be right I wouldn't search this, for those of you who embrace anarchy search "askew" and your search page will be tilted.

 

8. Do a Barrel roll

If you type "Do a barrel roll" into Google search, the search results will flip 360 degrees, a nod to Nintendo's Star fox games.

7. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon

This one had us all thinking of obscure celebrities to search for. If you search for a celebrity and "bacon number", it will tell you the degrees of separation between that celebrity and Kevin Bacon.

 

6. "Beam me up, Scotty"

This is for you Trekkies out there, if you search for "beam me up, Scotty" using Google's voice search, Google will reply with " I cannot do it captain, I do not have the power" in the voice of Mr Scott from Star Trek.

5. "What does the fox say?"

Searching for "what does the fox say?" using Google's voice search gives the horrible cackling responses that are in the song by Ylvis. Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

 

4. Google 1998

As a celebration of Google being 15 years old last year, Google released an Easter Egg, where if you type "Google in 1998" the search results that show are in the style of Google search results in 1998.

3. Pacman

This one's a little retro, but we love it! If you search "Google Pacman", a playable game of pacman will appear in the search results. This one's a fun one!

 

2. Zerg Rush

This one is my personal favourite, if you search for "Zerg Rush" in Google, a load of Google o's fly in attacking the search results, it's up to you to save the search results by battling the o's with your cursor!

1. Atari Breakout

This is for the older few of you who remember the Atari, Searching for "Atari breakout" will give you a playable game of the Atari game breakout, when you win it searches for something random and you can play again.

 

Sorry if this ruins your work motivation, but it's a lot of fun and worth a few searches! Enjoy!
