You can find Easter egg tricks in software packages, websites and the Google search engine. Google has a variety of Easter eggs that you can unlock by entering specific keywords. Today we have eight of them to share with you. Read on to learn more.

Tilt or Askew

Open the Google search engine page, and enter the keyword tilt or askew. Then click on the search magnifying glass button. That tilts the Google search results page as below.

Zerg Rush

This is an Easter egg partly inspired from the space game Star Craft. Enter zerg rush into the Google search box, and then the Google O turns into aliens that gobble up the search result page. Wipe out the aliens by clicking on them.

Note that this one might not work in all browsers. For example, it didn’t work in Opera when I entered it. Enter do a barrel roll into Google and click the search button. Then the search result page does a barrel roll before showing the links.

Google in 1998

Enter Google in 1998 into the search box for some nostalgia. That reverts the search result page back to the original Google page. Click on Take me back to the present to restore the current search result page.
