The search engine’s source code contains a popular genre from the eighties.

Google‘s page’s easter egg showed up on Reddit, and we don’t know how long has the text adventure game been in there. If you use Google Chrome, go to Google, search for „text adventure,” then hit Ctrl+Shift+I (or CMD+option+I on Mac), or, if you use Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+K.

In the web console, you’ll see the „Would you like to play a game? Yes/no” text, and if you type yes, the game will start. Your mission will be to find the missing letters in Google’s logo. The movement is relatively simple (north, south, east, west), and you only have two other moves (grab, inventory). However, the game isn’t an easy nut to crack – other players took roughly one and a half hours to complete it.

A Reddit user believes the game is set near one of Google‘s buildings, which isn’t surprising. Having such an easter egg, however, is extraordinary!
