"Do a Barrel Roll" OR "Z or R Twice"
"Do a Barrel Roll" or "Z or R Twice" easter egg is inspired from a video game "Star Fox" developed by Nintendo in which a rabbit asks to do a barrel roll.
To enjoy this easter egg, simply type "Do a Barrel Roll" or type "Z or R Twice" in Google search box and the search results page will do a barrel roll before showing the results.
"Tilt" OR "Askew"
"Askew" or "Tilt" is another cool easter egg in which the search results page looks a bit weird and out of place. To enjoy this easter egg, simply search for either "askew" or "tilt" in Google.
Let it Snow
"Let it Snow" is a new easter egg found by AskVG readers "kennethesp" and "SaidSikiraX" in Google search results page. A Christmas gift from Google team:
Hanukkah
"Hanukkah" is also known as Festival of Lights. This easter egg found by AskVG reader "Mohit Bangre" shows a nice row of stars below the Google search box:
You can also try the words "Chanukah" or "Chanukkah" instead of "Hanukkah". Thanks to our reader "Greg" for sharing them...
Christmas

Kwanzaa
If you search for kwanzaa in Google Search, you get an image of 7 candles below Google search box. This easter egg is related to "Kwanzaa" festival which is celebrated from 26th December to 1st January each year in United States.
Thanks to AskVG reader "Adam" for sharing "kwanzaa" easter egg..
Zerg Rush
If you search for Zerg Rush in Google Search, Google Search results page gets under aliens attack. The 'O' letter of colored Google logo turns into aliens who try to eat the whole page. You have to defend yourself by killing those aliens using mouse clicks on them.
This hidden easter egg is inspired from space strategy game "Star Craft".

Recursion
Check out how Google shows you meaning of "Recursion" by searching for Recursion in Google Search. When you search for "Recursion" term, a link "Did you mean: recursion" is shown below the search box even if you typed the correct spelling and the same page is loaded again and again whenever you click on that 'did you mean' link.
Thanks to AskVG readers "Mohit Bangre" and "Carbonize" for sharing "Recursion" easter egg..
Anagram
Search for Anagram in Google Search and Google will show a link "Did you mean: nag a ram" below the search box. Wondering why? Actually "Anagram" is a word game in which you need to create a new word using the same letters of another given word. So Google also plays the same game with you when you search for Anagram.
Thanks to AskVG reader "Snehil Sarkar" for sharing "Anagram" easter egg..

Do to the way autosuggest fills in the search box it will do a barrel roll after you just type in "do a " or just aske for askew. Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa no longer work neither does "let it snow"
