Edge's Surf Game vs the Chrome Dino

Chrome isn't the only browser with a hidden game. Microsoft Edge ships a surfing game — type edge://surf in Edge's address bar — that fills the same role as the dino. Here's how they compare.

Which should you play?

The dino is the purer skill test — one input, rising speed, nothing to hide behind. Surf is more of a cruise, with modes and power-ups to explore. The real answer: the one in the browser you're using. And if you're in neither, our online dino game runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari alike — as do all five games on the hub.

Browsers hiding games is a small tradition — see the full list of Google's own in Google's hidden games.
