Google is one of the most popular search engines in the world. But what many people don’t realize is that there are a lot of secrets hidden within Google. Here are some of the most interesting Google secrets:
1. The hidden game: If you go to Google and type in “Atari Breakout” (without the quotation marks), you’ll be taken to a hidden version of the classic game Breakout. This Easter Egg was placed there by Google employees in tribute to Atari’s 40 t h anniversary.
2. Flight Simulator: Another fun Easter Egg can be found by typing “Flight Simulator” into Google Maps. This will launch a basic flight simulator that you can use to fly around the world using your mouse or keyboard controls.
3. Tilt: If you go to google and type in “tilt,” the entire page will tilt slightly to one side. This is just another fun little Easter Egg that Google has placed on its site for users to discover.
4. We’re not suggesting that you should do this, but… if you type “www.” into Google, it will automatically suggest “.com” as the next thing you should type in order to complete a web address. However, if you then hit backspace.
Flip a coin. Typing ‘Flip a coin’ into the address bar will trigger a quick heads or tails summation
Heads or tails? It’s time to flip a coin!
When you can’t make up your mind, sometimes the easiest thing to do is flip a coin. But what if you don’t have a coin on hand? No problem! You can now flip a virtual coin right from your web browser, thanks to Google.
Here’s how it works: simply type “flip a coin” into the Google search bar, and hit enter. The search engine will then generate a random result of either “heads” or “tails.” Pretty neat, huh?
This little Google Easter egg is actually quite useful when you need to make a quick decision. Whether you’re trying to decide who goes first in a game or whether to order pizza or Chinese food for dinner, let fate (or at least the toss of a digital coin) help you out!
Google Gravity
This may sound like a simple prank but it is actually quite an impressive feat of engineering. In order to create Google Gravity, developers had to write code that would override gravity itself! This required a lot of complex mathematical equations and some very clever coding. The end result is a truly unique experience that has entertained millions of people around the world.
If you want to see Google Gravity for yourself, just head over to google.com/gravity and give it a try!
Roll a dice die
When you want to roll a dice/die, just go to Google and type in “roll a dice” or “roll a die”. You’ll see a little virtual dice/die that you can roll by clicking on it. Google will then generate a random number for you.
Blink HTML
Blink HTML is a hybrid markup language developed by Google that combines the best of both HTML and XML. While it is based on XML, Blink HTML uses a custom tag set that is designed to be more readable and easier to use than traditional XML. In addition, Blink HTML offers some features that are not available in standard XML, such as support for media queries and conditional comments.
Why was Blink HTML created?
Google created BlinkHTML because they saw a need for a more versatile and user-friendly markup language than what was currently available. With its combination of readability, ease-of-use, and powerful features, BlinkHTML is well suited for use in a wide variety of applications, from simple web pages to complex applications.

Barrel Roll
Assuming you mean Google Barrel Roll, this is a secret trick that performs a 360-degree roll of your screen. To do it, simply go to Google and type in “do a barrel roll” (without the quotes). Alternatively, you can click here. Your screen should then do a neat little animation and complete one full rotation.
Zerg Rush
The Zerg Rush tactic is named after the fictional alien race from the StarCraft video game series, which is known for its overwhelming numbers and aggressive tactics. Like the Zerg, Google uses sheer numbers to overwhelm its opponents.
When you type a query into Google, the search engine returns a list of results known as the SERP (search engine results page). The order of these results is determined by Google’s algorithm, which takes into account over 200 factors.
One of these factors is something called “Search Plus Your World,” which gives preferential treatment to content from Google+. This means that if you’re signed into your Google account, you’re more likely to see results from your friends and family members than from other sources.
In 2012, Search Plus Your World was expanded to include google+ Pages. This gave businesses and brands an incentive to create a presence onGoogle’s social network. And it gave Google an opportunity to promote its own products (like YouTube) over those of its competitors (like Vimeo).
The expansion of Search Plus Your World was controversial at the time, with many people accusing google of being unfair and favoring its own products over those of other companies. However, there’s no doubt that this tactic has been effective for promoting Googleservicesand driving traffic to them. In fact, one study found that when users were shown results from both Facebook and YouTube after searching for “cat videos,” they were significantly more likely to click on YouTube videos than on Facebook videos.
Interestingly enough, this isn’t the only secret tactic that google uses to favorits own products over those of others companies….
Atari Breakout
To start playing, just go to Google and type in “Atari Breakout” (without the quotes). The game will automatically load and you can start playing immediately. The controls are very simple – just use your mouse or trackpad to move the paddle left and right, and try to bounce the ball into all of the bricks at the top of the screen.
If you’re looking for a little bit of nostalgia, or if you’re just bored at work/school and want to kill some time, then give Atari Breakout a try. It’s a fun little game that anyone can pick up and play quickly.
