Google included a cute Easter egg in Chrome a few years ago: if you tried to access a website but couldn't because of an internet outage, you'd see the statement "Unable to connect to the Internet" or "No internet" with a small pixelated dinosaur next to it.

Some users presumably saw the dinosaur and thought it was a funny distraction while their Internet was out. A space bar was suddenly pressed, though. And off ran the dinosaur.

This hidden gem is now widely played by fans. If you're online and in need of a break, though, what if you just want to play it for a while (beware, it's addictive)? This tutorial will teach you the ins and outs of playing the game both offline and online.

Press the down arrow to quickly duck under an obstruction.

As the game progresses, the ground and the dinosaurs accelerate. Once you make contact with an obstacle, the game is finished and you must start over (and your score will be reset as well). Simply press the space bar to start over.

To have the dinosaur jump over the cactus, you must hit the SPACEBAR. As the cactus appears more frequently, timing your space bar push is of the utmost importance.
