2. Solitaire

If you want to build concentration then nothing beats playing Solitaire. It’s mainly a one-player game so it’s just you and Google. You just have to search for “Solitaire” and it will let you play the game on top of the search results. You can also choose the difficulty level so there is that. I love how Solitaire looks in Google’s distinct material design. I have been playing this game on Windows for a pretty login time so the new appearance felt refreshing. Definitely give the game a try if you are bored, and want to enjoy some solitaire goodness.

Tic Tac Toe is the ultimate time killer and Google has brought it to the masses with just a Google search. You can search “Tic Tac Toe” in the search box and play the game against Google. There is also an option to choose the difficulty level. You can choose between Easy, Medium, and Impossible. It seems Google is putting its AI to some work with that Impossible option. Besides, you can also play this game against your friend so that’s great

5. Atari Breakout

Atari Breakout is a classic arcade game built by Apple’s chief engineer, Steve Wozniak. Google previously made it possible to play the classic game by searching for “Atari Breakout” on Google and then switching to the Image tab. However, that doesn’t work anymore. Alternatively, you can search for Atari Breakout and visit elgooG (also known as Google Mirror) to simulate the experience. All the image results within Google Mirror will become bricks and the gameplay will start with a ball bouncing over a paddle. Quite interesting, right? Now go on and relive the 70s.

6. Zerg Rush

Zerg Rush is such a simple yet challenging game. The idea is that several balls will start dropping from all the corners. If the ball touches the search results, the links will start disappearing. You need to make sure the balls don’t touch the search results by clicking on the balls. Remember, there will be several balls from all corners. It’s kind of Thanos’ snap Google Easter Egg but you can prevent it from destroying the balls. So have fun while saving the world. Much like Atari Breakout, this one no longer works within Google search but still works inside elgooG.

Well, if you want to relieve that frustration or finally want to beat this game, you can play it directly on your browser. Just search for “Minesweeper” on Google and you will get to play the game. The game is modernized with funky graphics and awesome sound effects. You are either going to enjoy playing this or tear off your hair in frustration.

Google released Quick Draw, an AI experiment but a kind of game that predicts drawings. It asks the user to draw something on the page and Google’s neural network tries to identify the doodling. While drawing, Google keeps guessing the doodle and it’s fun to watch.

The farther Gnome travels, the more flowers are planted and you also get more points. It’s a beautiful game and you are going to enjoy playing it.

T-Rex is the most popular Chrome game, which is known to almost every Chrome user. If you don’t know about T-Rex, it’s a not-so-hidden game on Google Chrome that only gets activated when you don’t have an internet connection. When the internet is down, just press the space key in the ‘No Internet’ tab to start playing the game. Is that brand new information to you? I hope not. The game is quite good and challenging once you go past certain levels. It’s an enjoyable game until the internet is restored.
