''Dinosaur Game'', also known as the ''Chrome Dino'' or ''Offline Dino Game'', is a game built into the Google Chrome web browser that can be accessed in normal usage when the internet is inaccessible. The game can be accessed in Chrome without turning off your internet by typing either '''chrome://dino''' or '''chrome://network-error/-106''' into the address bar.
Being a game built into a browser, the gameplay is simple- after starting the game by tapping the spacebar, you play as a T. Rex running across a side-scrolling world, and tap the spacebar to make it jump over cacti and pterodactyls while your score ticks up in the corner, hoping that the internet will come back. When the score hits 500 points (relatively early into the game), pterodactyls at varying points will show up, and at the 600 point mark, the screen changes from black to white in a day/night cycle.

!This game contains examples of:
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Cacti didn't evolve until around 30 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. T. Rex and some pterosaur species did live at the same time, though.
* DeathFromAbove: If your device's administrator has disabled this game, the dinosaur will instead appear with the same wide-eyed expression as when you get a Game Over as meteors fall in the background.
* EasterEgg: During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, colored Olympic torches could appear in the game, and when collected, the game would reskin itself to match a random Olympic event, and the "GAME OVER" would be replaced with "またプレイしてね" (''Mata purei shite ne''), which translates to "Please Play Again". Reskins included gymnastics, swimming, hurdle jumping, surfing (and dodging sharks), and horse jumping, complete with the horse.
* EndlessRunningGame: The gameplay consists solely of the T. Rex running from left to right and jumping over or ducking under obstacles. It turns out that the game was designed to run for 17 ''million'' real-time years, referencing how long the T. Rex existed before it went extinct.
* HugeRiderTinyMount: One of the special 2020 Tokyo Olympics reskins has the T. Rex competing in the horse jumping event, while riding a horse that's smaller than it. The horse, of course, runs as fast as the T. Rex under normal conditions. It looks pretty goofy.
* InUniverseGameClock: It kicks in once your score has reached 600 points- the screen will suddenly change from its usual dark gray to white, representing daytime, and it will continue to rotate like that between night and day roughly every 100 points.
* InterfaceScrew: The game cycles between a dark mode and light mode every 100 score points in a day/night cycle, blinding you until your eyes adjust. At even slightly fast speeds, this results in the game changing between day and night multiple times per minute, about as quickly as it takes your eyes to adjust to the change in light. It's probably the hardest aspect of the game after the speed.
