You may not know that the Dino Game (also known as “Dino the Dinosaur”) is one of the most played games in the world.
The Birth of the Dino Game
The Dino Game was launched in September 2014 to entertain users when they lose their internet connection. The development team at Google, led by designer Sebastien Gabriel, created this game as a fun way to alleviate boredom when offline.

Design Theme
The T-Rex dinosaur and the pixel art style of the game are inspired by the “pre-internet era”, specifically the dinosaur age when there was no internet. The game’s simple black-and-white graphics also evoke memories of classic video games.
Hidden Mode
This game can be activated even when you have an internet connection. Just type “chrome://dino” into the address bar of the Chrome browser, and you can start playing immediately without needing to wait for a connection loss.

Score Records
The game does not have a clear endpoint; it only stops when you lose. This allows players to challenge themselves to achieve the highest score possible. The current world record for this game is over 99,999 points, achieved using automated gaming tools.
Variants and Updates
Google has updated the Dino Game over the years with special versions for occasions such as the game’s birthday or festivals. For example, on the fifth anniversary of the game, Google added birthday cakes and party hats into the gameplay.
