Type "Zerg Rush" into Google Search for a Surprise


A yet another 'Easter Egg' by Google has given us a reason to goof off. This surprise by Google is based on the popular game StarCraft.

Type Zerg Rush into Google, the O’s in Google take over the page. If you double click, your cursor turns into a plus sign. Click on the O’s to wipe them out. Google then tabulates your score which is shown on top right  and, in a social media twist, lets you post your score on Google+.






For those unaware, Zergs are an alien race of insectoids in Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft. In the game you rush them by amassing your battle units and blitz them. Hence the name Zerg Rush for this surprise of Google.

Google’s motivation for this latest Easter Egg is not clear, except perhaps it may be a way to migrate more users to Google+.
