It would be cool if zooming in / out on the T-Rex game caused it to switch your character to larger / smaller dinosaurs.

The Trex game really needs a meteor animation when the connection is re-established.

Give this man a PM role at Google Chrome!

Only if he promises to discontinue the game in a year

what can you possibly not like about the dinosaur game?? I love it and i like how chrome has debugged it over the years.

I believe this is a joke about Google's penchant for discontinuing beloved products -- https://killedbygoogle.com/

They even have the artwork! It's used when the game is disabled by ~~fun-hating sysadmins~~ enterprise policy.

So, the meteor hits the Trex, and its game over because you need to get back to work?

what's the t-rex game?

Game you get when the network is unavailable in chrome

minigame built into chrome you can play when you're offline, or alternatively go to chrome://dino

Edge has one too at edge://surf

There's also an extracted version of it on Github for those of us who use Firefox.

hit space bar when offline in chrome, ps: addictive.

Don't know what today's lucky 10,000 is? You are also one of today's lucky 10,000! https://xkcd.com/1053/

We have a version of it we adapted so that the t-rex has to jump over npm packages as they're being published in real-time!
