The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
For Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021), Google added sports-themed twists to the Chrome Dinosaur Game. An Olympic torch could appear mid-run; grab it to switch into Olympic event mode.
What It Did
The Skateboarding edition drops the T-Rex into a stylized skatepark. The run keeps the same jump-only rhythm as the other Olympic branches, so one clean hop still carries you over ramps, cones, rails, and other park obstacles. Other Olympic modes included surfing, hurdles, equestrian, and gymnastics.
Bright skatepark backdrops and sport-specific animations give the mode its own personality while keeping the endless-runner rhythm intact.
Impact and Reach
Because skateboarding was making its Olympic debut, this branch felt especially timely. It translated the sport's sense of flow into a light, approachable run that people wanted to replay right away.
Its Discontinuation
Like the rest of the Olympic set, this mode was a temporary celebration that disappeared after the Games: brief, memorable, and exactly the kind of branch players wanted to revisit later.
The Restored Experience
What’s Different Here
Our restoration brings back the 2021 skateboarding branch with its ramps, rails, and determined dino while making it run more reliably on modern browsers and devices.
The Easter Egg Experience
Click the button above to roll into the park. The session opens on the familiar desert course, and collecting the Olympic torch switches it into Skateboarding. From there, every input maps to the same jump: Up, Down, Space, or a tap all trigger one hop. The challenge is keeping that timing clean through ramps, rails, cones, and the rest of the skatepark. Prefer to watch? Turn on the optional AI/Bot Mode and let it handle a smooth demo run.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to start.
- Press Space or tap to begin the standard run.
- Collect the Olympic torch to switch into Skateboarding.
- In Skateboarding, use Up, Down, Space, or a tap to clear ramps, rails, cones, and other obstacles with the same jump timing.
- The pace ramps up, so land clean and keep your rhythm.
What began as a clever offline pastime eventually became a small stage for timely celebrations. The Olympic branches showed how a minimalist runner could nod to a global moment with fresh visuals, new themes, and just enough playful variation.
Final Thoughts
The Olympic Skateboarding branch captured a small piece of sports history and gave the T-Rex a new way to move. With this careful restoration, the run is easy to revisit again. Roll into the park, put together a few clean passes, then explore the rest of our preserved Olympic events.

What is Chrome Dinosaur Game?
Chrome Dinosaur Game is Google's official offline runner built into Chrome. It first appeared in 2014 on the No Internet page, where a small pixel T-Rex waited for players to press Space and run.
The game is also known as T-Rex Runner or the chrome://dino game. You jump over cacti, duck under pterodactyls, and keep going until one obstacle finally catches the dinosaur.
This page keeps the classic run playable and adds an easy doorway to AI/Bot Mode, Christmas mode, Birthday, Olympic, and 3D Dino editions.
How do I play the Dino runner?
Start the run, then keep your eyes on the next obstacle. The controls are easy to learn, but the rising speed keeps every run tense.
- Press Space, the Up arrow, or tap to jump.
- Press Down to duck when pterodactyls fly low.
- Stay alive as the score climbs and the desert moves faster.
- Use AI/Bot Mode, Christmas mode, or the version menu when you want a different Dino route.
Is the original Chrome Dinosaur Game still available?
Yes. The classic Chrome Dinosaur Game remains part of Chrome and can still be opened from the No Internet page or from chrome://dino.
This website treats the classic runner as an enhanced hub, not as a discontinued promo. The temporary Birthday and Olympic skins have their own timelines, while the main desert run remains the heart of the page.
