Dinosaur Game, also known as the Chrome Dino, is a simple yet iconic offline game built into Google Chrome. It was designed to appear when users lost their internet connection, giving them a small, fun distraction. Despite its simplicity, the game has gained massive popularity due to its addictive endless-runner gameplay.

The choice of a T-Rex as the main character wasn’t random. Designers wanted a playful nod to prehistoric times—a world long before fast internet existed. The game’s initial concept even included sound effects like growls or kicks, but these were removed to maintain the minimalist and straightforward charm.
