What is Google Text Adventure?

Google Text Adventure is a hidden easter egg i.e. a hidden game. Text Adventure is an old school computer game where you can use words to solve puzzles. You can use words like “go north” or “pick up the hey” in order to give commands. It is a text based adventure game that is solely based on reading as well as typing without any images, which is what makes it classic like the 1970s. 

The game is a playful quest where you, as the letter “G” from the google logo, have to find other letters who are your lost friends. The story is lighthearted and fun and since there are no pictures involved, it uses up your imagination and gives it a retro feel.
