Google places great emphasis on delivering professional services and tools, but at the same time they need to offer users a reason to smile and have a good time in order to keep a balance and keep their users entertained. Of course, they manage to do so and you’ve seen that pretty clearly in the Google tricks article. Now, we decided to extend that article and show you some other Google Easter eggs to embellish your day.
Easter Eggs are are simple hidden features available in Google products designed to offer you a fun time while using your favorite products or services. The concept of Easter Eggs is not new so we decided to make a small history of the greatest Easter Eggs brought to you by Google categorized on their products.

Google Search
The most prominent in this list because it comes with tens of unusual Easter Eggs. Still, we collected just the most popular of them.
Zerg Rush
One of my favorite Google tricks of this year created to commemorate Blizzard’s old school game “Starcraft”. This is basically a game that is based on little o’s attacking the content available on search results destroying it. You have to shoot as many O’s as you can and obtain a higher score with every try.
Just search for “zerg rush” and they will appear
Tilt
Just by searching for “tilt” or “askew” on Google, you will receive an overturned design of Google’s design and all the content around the search box will be turned as well.
Binary
Usually, for all terms that you have entered in the search box Google shows you the number of results. In this case, by entering binary, you will see About 0b1010010000001000001100000000 which is obviously a binary code.
Klingon Search
This is a new cool Google search version similar to the hackers version of the Google that we talked about in the Google tricks article.
Qingming
Every year, Google celebrates the Qingming festival so instead of it’s classic white background, the website is now filled with nice representative Chinese letters and pictures.
Just search for Qingming Festival and you will see a Japanese image on background
Jason Isaacs on Google.co.uk
Jason Isaacs is a British actor who appeared in the very popular “Harry Potter” sequel. As a sign of respect for the actor, Google UK decided to add a funny “Hello to Jason Isaacs” message whenever someone searches using actors name. Keep in mind that this only works on Google.co.uk
Google Pirate
Are you a fan of the pirate language, “Pirates of the Caribbean” maybe? Well, it seems like Google has a search engine dedicated for Pirate fans too!
Ewmew Fudd
This is pretty similar to Google’s Pirate search, but this time it’s Elmer’s language.
Anagram Search
Just to keep things more interesting Google will create an anagram of the word anagram whenever you search for it.
Google Translate Beatbox
When I first heard about this I thought it was just a joke, but it seems like Google translate really has style and can do beatbox for real.
Just select Translate from German to English, ad this pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pvzkpkzvpvzk kkkkkk bsch and afterwords just click on the German speaker to hear “master” Translate in action
Calculator Tricks
Is one of the most prominent Google search features designed to help users obtain results even for the most challenging math equations. Still, the calculator features has some hidden Easter Eggs too.
Heart in Calculator
Trigonometry is very fascinating and what many don’t know is that Google’s calculator can process highly advanced equations and even build graphics with ease. This is one beautiful example of what Google calculator can do for you. Just search for sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5 using Google and you will see this great heart shaped graphic.
Blue Moon
Just by entering “once in a blue moon” in the instant search, Google’s calculator will return a very odd number which is quite hard to understand, but most definitely means something…
Bakers Dozen
For whatever unknown reason, Google shows that bakers dozen equals 13. Just write “baker dozen” in Google’s search and you will see what I’m talking about.
The Answer to Universe
It seems like Google’s search comes with the answer to everything including the meaning of life and the universe.
The Loneliest Number
Being number one is not always a good thing, especially if that number one is on Google search because according to their search results, that means number 1 is the loneliest one.
External Easter Eggs
These are websites created by the fans of Easter Egg concept designed by Google. All of these sites are trusted and what they do is to implement special functions and looks on the well known search engine.
Sphere
A very nice in motion 3D effect of a sphere created using the Google logo and it’s functions. This project is still under development, it was created using HTML5 and it might not work on all browsers at the moment.

Is a simple website that animates the Google Logo and also has some additional features to make your search experience more visual appealing and entertain you.
Personalized
Goglogo.com is a website that can transpose your name into Google’s popular logo in just seconds.

No Chuck Norris
We all love the Chuck Norris jokes and it seems like Google loves them too. Even if they decided to remove that feature from the actual Google search, NoChuckNorris.com brought it back for the fans.
If you like this article, then you’ll most definitely enjoy reading our “11 Fun Google Tricks“.
There’s a few you missed. if u type in gravity and click the first link theres another one… and if you type in “do a barrel roll” it does just that. just letting you know XD
Hello, Geonna!
I know that I haven’t add all of the Google tricks in this article and that’s why I liked to the previous one called “11 Google Tricks You Might Not Know”
Still, these are not all the Google Easter Eggs out there. There are tens if not hundreds more, but I decided to highlight only the most impressive ones.
Thank you!
I like the gravity one sooo much It is now my homepage
I don’t understand the baker’s dozen one. A baker’s dozen is 13, always has been, it’s common knowledge. It would be like asking google how much a ‘ton’ is, google would say 2000lbs, because that’s what a ton actually is. You said “For whatever unknown reason, Google shows that bakers dozen equals 13.” It’s not for ‘whatever unknown reason,’ it’s because a baker’s dozen is a known quantity, and it IS 13. Am I missing some easter-eggy thing here?
Well, it was unknown to me! Now I know, thank you
Ha, these eggs are very beautiful, really creative Google it.
The baker’s dozen is due to harsh laws regarding fraud. If a baker sold a dozen rolls and the buyer only got 11, the penalty was serious – having your ear nailed to the door, or your hand cut off, for example.

As Geonna pointed out, there are some pretty cool ones that are not listed like turning the Google Street View pegman into a Lego man or putting a tie dye shirt on him by placing him in special spots. More like that are over at http://www.ranker.com/list/google-easter-eggs/dot-commander if you’re interested. All pretty darn cool if you ask me.
I see that someone already enlightened you to the fact that a bakers dozen is in fact 13, but you also seemed surprised by the 1 is the loneliest number reference. That’s a fairly common saying, it was even a very popular Three Dog Night Song. You should listen to it…
Qingming is Chinese, not Japanese
Yes, you are right! I am sorry…I will change it right away!
Thanks for collecting these all into one place. I’ve seen these all mentioned on Twitter over time, but it’s nice to have one complete collection.
omg these are really creative. i relly didnt know i could do all these on here!
A baker’s dozen is 13…
False the bakers dozen is really 14
lol
One Is The Loneliest Number is by Nilsson not Three Dog Night. It was also later covered by Filter.
Well, a bakers dozen IS 13. Bakers would sometimes give people I extra loaf of bread when they ordered a dozen.
Once in a blue moon is written in scientific notation. Therefore 1.16699016 × 10^-8 would be the same thing as .000000016699016
It’s just easier and more compact to write this way.
If you type in Half Moon Island and enter Streetview… Pegman = Awesomeness!
