Easter is a time for eating Easter eggs… It only seems naturally that after gorging out on eating Easter Eggs (is that even possible?) to go a hunt for more Easter Eggs – this time of the software variety (but just as tasty).

Well here’s some of our all time favourite Google Easter eggs!

How often do you see an acid-tripping bunny…!

A classic mini game hidden in the depth of the labyrinths of Google… On the Google home page type “google easter egg” and click “I’m Feeling Lucky”.
