Google's string of Easter eggs hidden within Search have proved its developers love gaming. And its latest pays tribute to a classic type of game played only with text.

Hidden inside Google's search results is a text adventure game, where players complete tasks by typing basic commands.

To find the game, start by searching for "text adventure." When you get to the search page, right click then select Inspect. You'll pull up a menu on the right hand side. Select "Console" along the top to bring up the developer's console and you'll see the adventure game.

You can also do this by hitting command+option+J on a Mac, or control+shift+J on a PC. Details of the adventure game were first uncovered by a Reddit user...

Don't think I've played a text-based adventure game in 15+ years. Might give it a go just to see what it's about.

I loved the Scott Adams adventures when I was a kid. They paved the way for the video games we habve today.

I wondef how I can access the Google game from a tablet. EDIT: Looks like I can't.
