Do you remember the popular StarCraft term "Zerg rush"? In honor of the strategy game, Google created a web game where you need to destroy a swarm of O's from attacking the search results on the page. While this works best on desktop computers, you can still access this website on your mobile device (though it will be buggy). This wikiHow will show you how to play the Zerg Rush game on Google using your computer, iPhone, or Android.

Things You Should Know

  • For best experience, play Zerg Rush on a desktop browser. Mobile browsers will be buggy.
  • Open https://www.google.com , type "zerg rush" into the search bar, then click "I'm Feeling Lucky."
  • Click the swarming O's to destroy them.

    Go to https://www.google.com in a web browser. You can use Google Chrome , Safari, Mozilla Firefox , or another browser.
    • If you're using a mobile browser, you may experience some bugs. For the best experience, use a desktop browser on a computer.

    Don't press Enter—just type it for now. Make sure to avoid any typos.

    You will see this at the bottom of the search results. This will launch the top search on the results page, which is where you'll find the easter egg.
    • Alternatively, you can click Google Search (desktop) or Go (mobile), and then select the first search result, which should be: https://elgoog.im/zergrush . [1]
    • At first, you'll see what looks like a traditional Google search results page. After a few seconds, the game will begin.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-4-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-4-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-4-Version-2.jpg\/v4-728px-Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-4-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":349,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":553,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    O's will begin to swarm the page and attack the search results. It takes about 3 clicks on each O to destroy it.
    • Make sure to scroll down. The O's will come from all directions!
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f8\/Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f8\/Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-728px-Play-Zerg-Rush-on-Google-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":343,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":543,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    The game will end when the O's have completely destroyed all the search results on the page. You'll see them form a "GG" (Good Game) in the center of the page. Currently, there's no way to win against the "Zergs", but you can see how many O's you destroyed in the Count box.

    You can’t play Zerg Rush on a mobile device with Google, but you can use Elgoog via this link: elgoog.im/zergrush. However, it’s hard to tap on the Os without double-tapping and zooming in.
