If you Google the term 'Zerg Rush' you will be in for a big surprise.



As soon as you do, the coloured letters 'O' turn into aliens that devour the page - and you can click on the little 'aliens' to kill them.



The hidden 'Easter Egg' is a reference to the space strategy game Starcraft, where using a 'Zerg Rush' with the game's 'Zergling' creatures is often a winning strategy.



Even by Google's standards, though, this joke is particularly geeky.



The 'Zerg' are one of the races in a strategy game, Starcraft - and experienced players often rely on the 'Zerg rush' to win games.



The verb 'to Zerg' is now often used in other online games, meaning to overwhelm an enemy through sheer force of numbers.



You have to search from the Google home page to make the 'trick' work, and it may not work in mobile browsers or some desktop browsers.

Question: Did it work for you?
 
Yes. Did it a few times yesterday.



My high score's 88. Share, people!
