The Google Zerg Rush Easter Egg is one of the most iconic hidden games ever added to the search engine. First seen in April 2012, it turned a regular search into a fun battle where tiny “o” shapes tried to destroy everything on the results page. Players had to stop them by clicking before the letters erased all the text.

Google Zerg Rush Easter Egg: Gameplay and Visual Effects
The little letters floated around smoothly, bouncing and spinning as they closed in on targets. Each click reduced their size until they vanished. If left alone, they consumed whole blocks of results. The action created urgency and encouraged fast reactions. At the end, the screen often showed a “GG” (Good Game) message along with the player’s score.
StarCraft Reference and Popularity
The name came from a strategy in the StarCraft game where weak units are sent early to overwhelm an opponent. The connection to this tactic made the Easter egg even more appealing to gamers.
Its surprise factor, easy-to-play design, and competitive scoring helped it spread quickly on social media. Within hours, people were sharing screenshots, videos, and high scores.
