Go back in time with Google's secret text game

Do you feel a little nostalgic for the times of Zork and other classic adventure games? If so, then Google has you covered with an Easter egg embedded in its website. A Reddit user discovered that finding a particular phrase on the site and then accessing the developer console in your browser offered the ability to start a quest as text. Better yet, in the 1980s fashion, the console begins by asking, "Do you want to play a game?

To access the text adventure game, go to Google in your favorite web browser and search for the phrase "text adventure". Once the search results page is displayed, open your browser's development console. If you're using the Google Chrome web browser, you can access the developer tool by going to the View menu, selecting Developer, then Javascript console.

Once you have recognized that you would like to play a game, you are immersed in a world of textual pleasure. Your adventure begins when you play the Google logo, although you're not quite yourself, because most of your letters are missing. When you are in a building, you must navigate the world and search for missing letters.

If you have never played a text adventure game before, take the time to enjoy the explosion of Google's past. At a time when graphics were not yet up to the challenge, players were playing interactive stories in text consoles, using their imaginations to delve into mystical worlds. With the latest game graphics continually being presented as essential for complete immersion, text adventure games are a fun way to remember that the story of a game is just as important.

The Google Easter Egg itself does not seem to be available on international sites, so if you want to try the text adventure, make sure you go to Google.com and not one of its variants. . Some speculation has prompted players to guess that the game's framework is Google, Mountain View, California, on campus and in the surrounding area. Plus, those who have finished the game say that it takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

We do not know how long Google wants to keep the Easter egg in its site code, so make sure to get there and have fun, in case the duration is limited.
