The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
During the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021), Google refreshed the Chrome Dino with several sports-themed twists. A blue Olympic torch could appear mid-run — grab it to switch into one of the limited-time Olympic events.
What It Did
In the equestrian edition, our pixel T-Rex saddles up on a horse and trades desert obstacles for colorful show-jumping rails. The core timing stays the same — press to jump — but the arena setting adds a distinctly Olympic vibe. Other modes included swimming, gymnastics, and hurdles.
In a cheeky nod to the Games, even a misstep awarded your dino a gold medal before the reset. Sport-specific backdrops and animations gave each event its own celebratory feel.
Its Impact
Players loved the whimsical combo of a prehistoric dino and a poised Olympic horse. The equestrian mode captured the elegance of show jumping in charming pixel art.
Why It Was Removed
Like all Olympic variants, these modes were temporary and disappeared after the Games — short-lived, memorable, and instantly collectible.

What’s New
Our restoration faithfully brings back the equestrian experience: the goggle-free (for once!) T-Rex on horseback, distinct hurdle designs, and the festive Olympic atmosphere — now tuned for smooth play on modern devices.

Click the button above to enter the arena. You may need to collect the blue torch first to unlock Olympic events. Once mounted, press Space or the Up arrow to clear hurdles. Prefer to spectate? Toggle the optional AI/Bot Mode and watch a clean run unfold.
