8 Fun Hidden Google Games You Can Play for Free
While there is no point in reiterating the frustration one feels using a poor or inconsistent internet connection, there is a need to address it. Now that the course of our entire lives depends on the internet, it is fairly important to subscribe to a reliable internet provider. By this point, many people would have found an ISP that speaks to them and ensures consistency during their internet usage. However, if you are still on the lookout, make sure that your chosen ISP has a sound customer service team since this department is responsible to solve any issues that you might face. On a personal level, I had to switch multiple providers before I found a good internet supplier that offers high-speed internet along with a decent customer support unit. If ever I encounter any internet-related issues, they are solved within seconds, thanks to my ISP – all I have to do is call Time Warner Cable Customer Service Number and the representative ensures smooth solution in a well-timed manner. So, when I say that good customer service trumps every other detail, you might want to register it.
Once you are connected with a good internet connection, you can be a free bird and enjoy it, however, you want. Nonetheless, my first recommendation would always be to make Google Chrome your default browser. Google does not only allow you to access every little detail in the world but also lets you blow off some steam through its fun and free games.
This article offers insight about some of the best, fun hidden Google games you can play without paying a dime:
1. Tic Tac Toe
Tic Tac Toe is the one game that you can play as you like, with paper, mobile apps, or the simplest of all: Google Chrome. All you need to do is type in ‘tic tac toe’ in the address bar of the browser and you can play this fun game at any given moment. You should know just one thing – it is highly addictive.
2. Marshmallow Land
Do you remember when Flappy Bird became a national craze? Yes, around that time, Google also stepped up and created its own version of the game. A much more refined look, Marshmallow Land can be unlocked if you download Nova Launcher and make it your default home screen launcher. Once this is done, all you need to do is hold down the screen, tap on Widgets, and hold down the Activities icon so that it can appear on your screen. From the Activities list, go to System UI, and then select Marshmallow Land to access the game. I know the process is long but it is worth it.
3. Google Dinosaur Game
Anytime your internet connection goes south and you have nothing to do, this game can save you from boredom. This game becomes a whole lot more fun when you have no connection but even if you are just bored, you can type in chrome://dino in the address bar to play this game. You can play Google Dino by just using up and down navigation keys.
4. Basketball Game
Google released a fun and simple basketball game to celebrate the Summer Games of 2012. The game is about shooting hoops from distance and scoring the basket.
The game is available in Google Doodle Archive and you can access it here.
To play, you need to hold down the mouse button to power your throw; you can also use the spacebar for this purpose. There is a limited time provided to make the throws and the goal is to score as many points as possible.
5. Breathing Exercise
While it is not technically a game, it is an amazing feature of Google Chrome. Right after a tight workout or an intense game, you can take help from this hidden ‘breathing exercise.’
Type in ‘breathing exercise’ in the address bar and press the play button onto the big blue window pop up. Following the instructions on the screen, you will find yourself exercising a relaxing breathing session. One minute of this exercise will help you readapt yourself.
6. Magic Cat Academy
This fun game was a Halloween 2016 present that Google gave to all of us. This hand-drawn game is about a magic cat who has to fend off an endless army of ghosts to survive. Magic Cat Academy is also available in the Google Doodle Archive and while it is super simple, it is also super fun. You need to draw lines and symbols above the ghosts’ heads to destroy them. The game has five levels and the health of the cat can be regenerated by drawing a heart on the screen.
7. Garden Gnomes
This game is also found in Google Doodle Archive and was released to celebrate Germany’s Garden Day 2018. In this extremely addictive and engaging game, you need to catapult gnomes covering as much distance as possible. It is like Angry Birds without anyone complaining or being angry.
8. Solitaire
Who doesn’t love a good card game? Just type ‘solitaire’ in the address bar and find this amazing one-player game. We all have been playing this same game since our childhoods: stack the cards in descending order and alternate colors. Google brings this simple and fine card game to you free of cost with a hint of style and swagger.
