New Easter Egg from Google: How to play the Atari Breakout game on Google’s about us page?
I took a break after struggling through learning data structures this afternoon for quite some time. I googled for “ted ed youtube channel” and was just about to migrate to YouTube but I casually opened the Google’s about us webpage on a new tab instead. I don't know why I did so but it just happened. I noticed that the design of the about page got revised and as I scrolled I got to see this –

(A GIF screenshot from the page) This is a showcase of trending keywords or terms that people search on Google the most. |
Someone called me and I was away from my laptop for a while. When I returned back I was surprised to see my father playing a game on the Google’s about us page. Literally, I was shocked! It was some Google-themed Atari breakout game. I asked him that how did he start playing it and his reply was so unsatisfying. He justified that any accidental click launched it and he couldn't even recall exactly where he clicked. It intrigued me and so I began to find some way to start it. After carrying out trial and error method, I finally found it. I googled to lookup any blog or website informing about this new Easter egg but I found none. So I took the initiative to write and publish one.
OK. So, how to play this Atari Breakout game?
- Follow this link to go to Google’s about us page – https://www.google.com/about/
- Scroll down until you see something like the above GIF/image
- Now attentively look for the phrase “Take a break” to appear there
- As soon as it appears click on it and the game starts
Another way to play Atari Breakout in Google's platform:
- Google Search atari breakout
- Click on the Images tab
- Enjoy!
