The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
For Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021), Google added sports-themed twists to the Chrome Dinosaur Game. A blue Olympic torch could appear mid-run — grab it to jump into a limited-time Olympic event.
What It Did
The Skateboarding edition drops the T-Rex into a stylized skatepark. You’ll ollie over ramps, grind rails, and weave past cones, with simple controls that make quick tricks and chains feel snappy. Other Olympic modes included surfing, hurdles, equestrian, and gymnastics.
Bright park backdrops and sport-specific animations give the mode its own vibe while keeping the endless-runner rhythm intact.
Its Impact
Skateboarding’s long-awaited Olympic debut struck a chord with players. This mode captured the flow of skating in a light, approachable way that fit perfectly into a pick-up-and-play run.
Why It Was Removed
As a celebratory event, the Olympic modes were temporary and disappeared after the Games — short-lived, memorable, and instantly collectible.
