Dinosaur Game
The Dinosaur Game first appeared in September 2014, designed by Chrome’s UX team — Sebastien Gabriel, Edward Jung, and Alan Bettes. They wanted to add something playful to the “No Internet” page, something to make users smile instead of sigh.
Their idea was simple: if the internet is down, let’s go back to the prehistoric age — a time before Wi-Fi, before browsers, before connectivity. Hence, the dinosaur, a symbol of ancient times, became the perfect mascot. In development, the team even called it Project Bolan, a nod to Marc Bolan, the lead singer of the band T. Rex.
It was meant to be a joke, a small gift for Chrome users. But no one expected that this little T-Rex would run its way into the hearts of hundreds of millions.
