Do you remember the popular StarCraft term "Zerg rush"?[1] In honor of the strategy game, Google created a web game where you need to destroy a swarm of O's from attacking the search results on the page. While this works best on desktop computers, you can still access this website on your mobile device (though it will be buggy). This wikiHow will show you how to play the Zerg Rush game on Google using your computer, iPhone, or Android.
Google Zerg Rush Game
To play the Google Zerg Rush Game, go to elgoog.im/zergrush/ in a web browser. Click Play the Easter Egg Now! in the center of the page. Click all the floating O's to destroy them before they swarm you.
Steps
Playing Zerg Rush
-
1Go to www.elgoog.im/zergrush/ in a web browser. You can use Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or another browser.
- If you're using a mobile browser, you may experience some bugs. For the best experience, use a desktop browser on a computer.
- Google removed the official easter egg found in the search results. In the past, you could type "zerg rush" into the Google search field and click I'm Feeling Lucky to start the Zerg Rush easter egg. However, you'll need to visit the restored experience hosted on this website.[2]
-
2Click Play the Easter Egg Now!. This is the green button in the center of the page.Advertisement
-
Click all the O's to destroy them. O's will begin to swarm the page and attack the search results. It takes about 3 clicks on each O to destroy it.
- Make sure to scroll down. The O's will come from all directions!
-
Share the game (optional). The game will end when the O's have completely destroyed all the search results on the page. You'll see them form a "GG" (Good Game) in the center of the page. Currently, there's no way to win against the "Zergs", but you can see how many O's you destroyed in the Count box.
- To share the game: tap the + on the left to open all sharing options. Click an option to be redirected to the platform.
- There are other Google easter eggs you can find, such as Google gravity. You can also do a barrel roll!
