Do you want to trick your friends with a Google search page that falls like gravity? Google Gravity is one of many fun "Easter eggs" hidden in the Google search engine, along with many other games, pranks, and effects. To use Google Gravity, start by visiting the Google homepage in a web browser. Type “Google Gravity” in the search bar, then click on “I'm Feeling Lucky” to load the Google Gravity page. While this trick was first introduced way back in 2009, it's still a good one!

Things You Should Know

To get to Google Gravity on your phone or computer, just search "Google Gravity" and click or tap "I'm Feeling Lucky."
If you see a list of search results, click the "Mr. Doob" search result.
There are plenty of tricks you can do with Google Chrome like playing games or doing a barrel roll.

Type google gravity into the search bar and click I'm Feeling Lucky. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which is just below the search field, takes you directly to the Gravity version of the Google search page.
- At first, the search page will look normal! But once you move your mouse, the buttons, menus, images, and other elements on the page will fall to the bottom, mimicking gravity.
- If you don’t see the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, you can just press Enter and then click the top search result (the Mr. Doob site).

To do a Google gravity trick, you’ll need to have a browser with JavaScript enabled and open Google’s search page at google.com. Then, type Google Gravity into the search bar and press "I’m Feeling Lucky." Move your mouse cursor over the white part of the page and all the icons and words will fall down in pieces; you can even play with the pieces for a bit if you like.

A barrel roll on Google will rotate your search page on the screen in the same way as a barrel rolling down a hill. It’s a secret silly feature for fun. To start, go to Google’s search page and be sure you’re using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox on a computer to see the barrel roll. Type "Do a barrel roll" into the search bar, then press Enter or Return and the whole page will roll around. For more help, with image guidance, see the wikiHow How to Do A Barrel Roll on Google.
