How to Play the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game

Are you annoyed when your Internet service crashes and your internet provider can’t fix the issue immediately? Instead of wallowing in frustration, why not while away the time playing Chrome dinosaur games on your Chrome browser? Also known as the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Games, these games are playable even without Internet connectivity.

The No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game

Google launched the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game in September 2014 for computer and mobile devices, and it was instantly popular with Chrome users. According to the Google team, a majority of players of the Chrome Dinosaur Games are from India, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, and other countries where Internet connections are still unreliable.

The game required a few fixes to make it easier to play on Android smartphones, and the developers released the improved version in December 2014. Now you can play it on your PC or phone whether the Internet is running or is down.

Sebastian Gabriel, the game designer, wanted to create a video game that harked back to prehistoric times when access to the Internet was unreliable, and people had to contend with frequent internet service interruptions. The game design team named the project Bolan after the lead singer of the T-Rex rock band, Marc Bolan. The dinosaur character design was deliberately kept simple, with a rigid motion, and the designers stuck to the basics of the running game. The dinosaur only runs, jumps, or ducks.

How to Play the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game

You can play the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game in the following way:

When your Internet service gets interrupted, open a new tab in your Chrome browser and look for a tiny dinosaur icon that appears with the ‘No Internet’ message. Clicking on the dinosaur icon will start the No Internet Google Chrome Dinosaur Game. You can also type://dino in the address bar of the Chrome browser and press Enter to start the game.

Pressing the spacebar will start the dinosaur running in the endless runner game. It will encounter various obstacles you are supposed to avoid to keep it running onward. You can press the spacebar or the up, down, left, and right arrow keys to navigate the obstacles. You can make the dinosaur jump over the cacti’s plants or dodge under flying dinosaurs or birds. The goal of the runner game is to keep the dinosaur running onward for as long as possible.

Since the runner game is endless, it will continue for as long as you can keep the dinosaur running. So, when can you win the Chrome Dinosaur Games? You can’t. Not unless you want to spend the next 17 million years playing the game. That is the length of time that the T-Rex dinosaurs are said to have roamed the Earth, and the Google developers designed the game to have this playtime. For most Chrome users, it is enough to continue playing until their Internet reconnects and they can get back online.
