Google Tricks
1) Google Space
I guess that you have not played this trick before.
Google space was adopted from Angry Birds Space game. When Angry Birds Space got released on March 22, 2012, Mr. Doob as the author of this trick thought that he should also make a space mode to Google Gravity.
Unlike other tricks, this trick couldn’t be played by clicking “I’m feeling lucky” button.
To play Google Space trick, you can directly go to this link.
Technically, Google Space is the same simulation with Google Gravity but without the gravity component. The experience, however, is a bit different. If in Google Gravity all components of Google page are falling down due to the influence of gravity, then inGoogle Space all components of Google will be hovering like in outer space that has no gravity.
Another difference appears when you do searching. The Search Results will suddenly appear out of nowhere unlike Google Gravity that fall down the search results from the top of the page.
The rest I think there is no difference between the two. And the conclusion is you must play Google Space.
2) Zerg Rush
Seem to search for something on Google becomes too easy. Or else the internet giant would not have built a game that lets you fight to save your search results
You will see dozens of letter “Os” will appear on your screen, obliterating the searchresults. You must destroy them by clicking on the letters many times. Each letter is worth 1 point, so more letters you destroy, more points you get.
This is one of the best Google Easter Eggs tricks ever. This is a tribute to the 90s era computer game Starcraft where the aliens known as “Zergs” come down from the top to destroy the players.
Once all the search result were destroyed, all the letters form into two giant letter “GG”. What is GG? It is not GooGle, GG is a classic component to the game, it means Good Game.
Is it possible to win Google Zerg Rush? No, it is impossible. Try it yourself and please share your score here.
3) Chat With a Martian in Google Earth
Do you want to talk to Martian? Do not worry, it is something possible. Google helps you to do that.
This trick is simple, you just need to open Google Earth, switch to “Mars” and search for “Meliza”. Click on the small robotic icon and you’ll be able to chat with Meliza, a friendly relative of Eliza, one of the first chat bots (Meliza = Mars + Eliza). A message informs Earthlings that “Meliza is using an account on a different planet. There may be translation errors.”
Here’s Meliza’s first message: “Greetings from Mars! What’s Earth like today?Valles Marineris is so big, that if you put it on earth, it would stretch the distance from New York to LA!”
Meliza has some predefined text related to Mars and it is quite smart. It’s always ready to rephrase your messages and can answer many questions. When it does not understand what is being asked, it is very clever to change the subject.
Google Meliza is one of the coolest Google Easter Eggs ever.
4) Google Sphere
Once again the largest search engine on internet gets hijacked. This time forming a sphere.
Playing Google Sphere is really funny. Google Sphere is made by Mr. Doob Team who also created Google Gravity.
Unlike Google Gravity that display Google in ragged shape as affected by the earthquake, this project will rotating all elements of Google page (text link, image, button etc) in the sphere like a globe.
To play this trick, just go to Google Homepage, type in “google sphere“ and hit “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. And BAMM see what happens!
Mouse over the page and type the term you’re looking for on the search box. Hit return (or click on the search images button if you find it). The more you search the more images about the term you’ll get.
Note: Google Sphere trick works in any browser but perform best on Google Chrome.
5) Do a Barrel Roll
Barrel Roll is an old Google’s Easter Eggs tricks made in 2011. It is a part of “web fun” stuff that Google enjoys doing.
To do the trick, go to Google homepage, type in “do a barrel roll” in Google search box then click search button, and voila, the whole Google search results page will spin anddo a barrel roll right in front of you.
The trick is a respect to a 1997 Nintendo Game, Star Fox 64, where Peppy, the game’s space rabbit tells Fox McCloud, the game’s protagonist to “do a barrel roll“, which users make him do that by pressing ‘z’ or ‘r’ twice.
Do a barrel roll trick was created using HTML5, so it may not work in all browsers, Firefox and Chrome already support to do this trick.
However there is a little bug in this trick. While you type just [do a] in search bar with Google Instant on, it will show the search results for [do a barrel roll] and just spin the screen before you can complete your query.
6) elgooG – Google Mirror
In the cyberspace you will often find the term of “mirror site”, that is a website created as a duplicate or a shadow of the original website. The goal can all kinds, including to prevent overload, or as a back up if one day the original website get down or inaccessible.
Well, elgooG itself is a bit different because it is the reverse spelling of Google. Try to read Google from the back, then you will get the word elgooG. Maybe you will ask if it is a joke?
Exactly, elgooG was made as a joke. But, even so this website has existed since the past few years.
All elGoog’s contents are designed as reversal of Google. “Google Search” and “I’m Feeling Lucky” button in Google will be “hcraeS elgooG” and “ykcuL gnileef m’I” button in elgooG.
How about the search results of elgooG? When you are searching for keywords in elgooG, the search results are taken directly from Google so you can get accurateresults of course. Although you might be a little dizzy because the search results are displayed from right to left.
elgooG is also called “Google Mirror” because you can easly read the contents using amirror.
Now, to play elgooG trick, as usual you just need to go to Google, type-in “elgoog” in search box then hit “I’m feeling lucky” button.
Or you can go directly to this link.
7) LOL, Limewire
This trick was made about three years ago. Go to Google, type in “LOL LimeWire” and click on “I’m Feeling Lucky” button (do not enter or click search button); then Google will bring to a page with flash screen of the “LOL LimeWire Pirate Song”. It’s a very funny gag.
LOL Limewire lyric: Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate! Yar Har, fiddledee, dee, being a pirate is alright with me. Do what you want cause a pirate is free,you are a pirate!
Just for information, LimeWire is a free file-sharing site and was being under a court since October 26, 2010 because of the violation of copyright. So those the user of this site could be considered as “pirates”.
The “LOL, Limewire” meme started when LazyTown (a popular children’s program)released a catchy tune called “You are a Pirate” about pirates being free, hence the whole ‘piracy’ theme.
8) 1980 Missile Youtube Game.
Play any YouTube video and then type 1980 (do not type in the search bar, just press the “1, 9, 8, 0″ buttons). It will show you a game called “Missile Command“. You’ll need to defend the video and “blow those missiles out of the sky”.
