Blog Entry: The Google Chrome dino joins the Olympics: here's how to play？
For the Olympics, Chrome's dino gamehas embraced a sporty twist. You can also try your hand at winning medals.
You don’t need to be a world-class athlete to participate in the Olympics—well, not the real ones, but Google Chrome’s version of them.
To celebrate the Olympics, the browser has updated its well-known dinosaur game. Usually, the dino game appears when the browser can’t connect to the internet. Over the years, its simple gameplay and the dinosaur character have made it a favorite among users. Now, the dino is competing in the Olympics—and you can join in too.
You don’t even need to disconnect your internet to play the dino game. Just follow these steps.
Open Google Chrome. If you’re not a regular Chrome user, you’ll need to download it—it’s free. Once in the browser, type “chrome://dino” into the search bar.
You’ll land on the game’s homepage. On a desktop, press the space bar to begin, or simply tap the screen if you’re on a mobile device.
If a blue Olympic torch appears on your screen, don’t avoid it—run straight into it! This will take you to one of the Olympic-themed versions of the game, which might include swimming, surfing, running, horseback riding, or another sport.
The Olympic torch doesn’t always appear right away. You might need to jump over a few cacti before you see it. If the torch doesn’t show up after a few obstacles, try refreshing your Chrome browser.
Once you’re in Olympic mode, the controls are the same as in the original dino game. On a desktop, press the space bar, and on a smartphone, tap the screen.
Your dino will be sporting different outfits depending on the sport, whether it's a running jersey, a pair of sneakers, or riding on a horse. Cacti will be swapped out for buoys or rocks, and each sport may have little surprises. In gymnastics, for instance, the dino might perform flips when jumping. If you want to try a different sport, refresh the page and catch the Olympic torch again.
