Playing the
dino game on your browser even when you don't have an internet connection is a great way to pass the time. It follows a charming T-Rex dinosaur as it races through an infinite desert, dodging pterodactyls and cacti along the way. The dinosaur can be controlled by tapping the screen of your mobile device, or by using the spacebar or arrow buttons on a keyboard to jump or duck. You go through the game at your own pace, and the difficulty and background color shift from day to night. In 2014, developers at Google Chrome built the game as an Easter egg; since then, it has grown immensely popular, with over 270 million monthly players. Chrome Dino, Dinosaur Game, Dino Run, T-Rex Game, and No Internet Game are some of the other names for the game. Free online versions of the game are available at a number of websites; just type "chrome://dino" into your browser's address bar to start playing. You can only get as high as 99999 points before the game starts over from the beginning.
