Google has tucked playable games into Search and Chrome for years. Here are the best-known ones and how to find them.
The classics
- The dino game — Chrome's offline runner. Type chrome://dino or go offline. It's the reason this site exists; play it here.
- Pac-Man — search "pac-man" on Google to play a full maze.
- Snake — search "snake game" for Google's version.
- Solitaire — search "solitaire" to deal a hand.
- Minesweeper & Tic-Tac-Toe — both open straight from a Google search.
Why the dino is the most beloved
Unlike the search-based games, the dino appears exactly when you're stuck — offline and bored. That timing turned it into an icon. Learn its story in our dino game history and why it's a dinosaur in this post.
The dino also has its own hidden touches — see our easter eggs guide.
Microsoft plays the same trick: Edge hides a surfing game, compared head-to-head in Edge Surf vs Chrome Dino. Prefer a dino spin on the classics? We've got a flappy version and a memory game too, all on the games hub.
