Interact with the Easter Egg
The Official Google Version
How It Started
Originally built by developer Mr.doob to show off browser physics, Google Gravity was featured on Chrome Experiments. Google later spotlighted it in the 2012 Chrome Blog as a standout example of playful web innovation.
What It Did
Load the page and — boom — every element gives in to gravity. The logo, search bar, buttons, and links tumble to the bottom. Grab pieces with your mouse (or finger), toss them around, and watch them bounce with delightfully believable physics. The original even supported live search via Google’s now-retired Web Search API.
Its Impact
This tiny experiment became an internet classic. It showed how JavaScript could turn a static page into a lively playground and inspired a wave of physics-driven web toys.
Why We Enhanced It
When Google discontinued the Web Search API in 2014, the original search broke. We brought it back by emulating the API, restored full search behavior, and added thoughtful upgrades like mobile optimization and a dark theme — so the experience feels right at home on today’s web.
The Enhanced Experience
Enhanced vs. Original
Our version doesn’t just preserve the idea — it completes it. Search is restored through API emulation, so your queries work as expected and the results fall into the pile. Physics feel smooth on touchscreens, and you can switch to a comfy dark theme anytime.
The Easter Egg Experience
Tap the button and watch the interface dramatically give way to gravity. Everything crashes to the bottom, ready for you to poke, drag, and throw. Results from your searches join the chaos, and the whole thing runs beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops. Theme toggle included!
How to Play
- Click the button above to start.
- Watch the page collapse to the bottom — gravity wins!
- Drag and toss the pieces to play with the physics.
- Search like normal — your results will drop in too.
- Switch between light and dark themes whenever you like.
We preserved Mr.doob’s physics vibe and rebuilt the broken bits. API emulation revives search, while careful touch tuning keeps interactions smooth and intuitive on mobile. It’s the same mischievous spirit, now with modern reliability.
Final Thoughts
Google Gravity still charms — now with working search, mobile finesse, and a theme toggle. Enjoy the satisfying collapse, then explore more gravity-bending Easter eggs!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Google Gravity?
Created by developer Mr.doob in 2009, Google Gravity makes the search page follow the laws of physics. When the Web Search API was discontinued in 2014, the original lost live search — so we restored it via emulation. Now you can search while everything falls.
Open the page and watch every element cascade to the bottom. Grab, toss, and play — the pieces collide and bounce with satisfying realism.
How do I experience Google Gravity?
Search for “Google Gravity” or just use this page to trigger the effect instantly. After the collapse, use your mouse or touch to grab and throw elements and enjoy the physics in action.
What’s the purpose of Google Gravity?
It’s a joyful tribute to web creativity and physics simulation — proof that JavaScript can turn everyday interfaces into delightful, interactive moments, in the playful spirit of Google’s Easter eggs.
