Hidden Google Easter Eggs You Should See in 2022
OK… Easter has passed and we’ll all have to wait until next year to watch our kids and grandkids hunt for hidden Easter eggs. But did you know there’s another kind of Easter egg you can hunt year around? In the world of computers, an Easter egg is “an unexpected or undocumented feature in a piece of computer software or on a DVD, included as a joke or a bonus.”
Google has a lot of Easter eggs… some you may know but we’re betting there are quite a few you don’t know about so we’re featuring a webpage today where you’ll 18 Google Easter eggs to try.
First, we’ll let you read this bit of intro from the webpage we’re featuring today…
To get a clear concept of Google Easter egg, you must have noticed Google doodles; the customized logo that Google uses when there is a special occasion. The occasion may be an international occasion or celebration, sometimes it may be an event about a specific country, but the intention is to let you know Google is aware of such event/occasion and supports it. The same thing goes for Google Easter egg, but instead, Google Easter presents you with a unique effect/animation when you use some secret Google search queries. The Google Easter egg might be more than an animation to amuse you; sometimes, it might be a tool or a game. The secret search queries won’t be a secret anymore if you read further in this article.
One of the trending eggs is the Thanos Google Easter egg. Google released this egg to commemorate one of the most popular Marvel movie ever; Avengers Infinity War. Here is how to find it; search for the keyword “Thanos” with Google. On the search result page, you will find a gauntlet at the upper-right section of the page; the gauntlet was worn by Thanos, the main villain in Infinity War and Endgame. To be sure, the gauntlet is located beside the share button, click the gauntlet, and see the magic happen. The gauntlet will grip or snap two fingers, and half of the result will be erased in dust-style animation, music, and effects, just like it happened in the infinity war movie.,,
Now for some examples…
