When is No Internet Games Birthday?

No Internet Games birthday is the 6th September. 

It was released on 6th September 2014. 

If you would like to understand the No Internet Game’s evolutionary timeline, then read this article next.

 

Past Birthday Celebrations

Four years after its release, on 6th September 2018, an article was released by Google celebrating its birthday and interviewing its creators. Some of its creators from the Google Chrome design team are Edward Jung, Sebastien Gabriel and Alan Bettes. 

The exact same week of the interview in 2018 (interview on the Thursday) people who were playing the game found an interesting celebratory surprise. The “Lonely T-Rex” had the option to eat a colourful birthday cake and on eating it wore a colourful birthday hat. Also, in the background amongst the clouds were birthday balloons.

What’s Next For No Internet Game Birthday Surprises

The birthday surprise was out there really, seeming it happened on its 4th birthday. Why not on it’s 1st, 2nd or 3rd and seeming it was already well known? Well coincidentally or not, it was also another special milestone birthday, Google Chromes 10th. Google Chrome was first released on 2nd September 2008. This can probably explain why this Easter egg was found over No Internet Games 4th birthday. 

What’s next, well the next big milestones for No Internet Game was its 10th birthday on 6th September 2024. Unfortunately we checked and nothing was found there! So, the other milestone is Google Chromes 20th birthday and is the 2nd September 2028, so at-least expect something around the 2nd to the 6th. 

One would have to play the game then to find out then if there is a surprise waiting. However, make sure you do play it through its original routes rather than its imitations to find out. You can do this by turning off your internet on a Google Chrome browser and then searching for something to see the game, or in the Google Chrome browser visit chrome://dino

Conclusion

Even if No Internet Game doesn’t add another birthday Easter egg it’s still a fun, quick and easy game to play. It may not have as many people playing it as it used to. Also, in modern times, allot of people have less internet outages, which will effect how much it is played. However, because it is an integral part of the Google Chrome browser as its error message, it still does receive regular updates, see here. In essence it is Google Chrome and by design, so I would be surprised if they didn’t want to celebrate it some how.
