How It Was Made
Concept Overview
Google Upside Down takes visual distortion to the max by flipping every element on the page vertically. The familiar layout suddenly feels new and a little disorienting — in a good way — inviting you to relearn a well-known interface from a topsy-turvy perspective.
Inspiration and Development
Building on the horizontal flip of the Google Mirror (elgooG), this version explores vertical inversion. With the upside-down Unicode characters “əๅɓoo⅁”, both visuals and text are flipped, turning a routine search into a small, delightful adventure.
The Easter Egg Experience
Key Features
Everything goes upside down — the logo, the search bar, every bit of text, and even images. Thanks to the “əๅɓoo⅁” characters, the Google name reads perfectly inverted. A smooth intro animation sets the scene, and despite the visual twist, search, links, and navigation all work as expected.
How It Works
Step into an upside-down Google: the UI is inverted, and “Google” appears as “əๅɓoo⅁.” It looks surreal, yet it’s fully usable — type normally and watch your query show up flipped on screen.
How to Play
- Tap the button above to flip the page.
- Watch as everything smoothly turns upside down.
- Try navigating the inverted interface — it’s trickier (and more fun) than it looks.
Launched in 2020, this fan-made Easter egg uses Unicode’s upside-down characters to achieve authentic text inversion. Inspired by the original elgooG mirror, it shows how a simple visual twist can refresh a familiar page in surprising ways.
Final Thoughts
Google Upside Down (əๅɓoo⅁) is more than a visual trick; it’s a tribute to the power of perspective. By inverting a familiar interface, it turns a simple search into an engaging cognitive puzzle. It’s an unofficial but heartfelt nod to Google’s playful spirit: proving that even the most routine task can become a delightful discovery when you’re willing to turn things on their head.
