This wikiHow teaches you how to make the Google search page and the screen on your Chromebook rotate on the screen like a barrel rolling down a hill. This feature, called a barrel roll, is one of many ″Easter eggs,″ or secret silly features, on the Google website.

Ways to Do a Barrel Roll on Google

All you need to do is type "do a barrel roll" in the Google search bar and press Enter or Return. You can also search "z or r twice" instead. If the Google site won't do a barrel roll, you can do it at https://elgoog.im/doabarrelroll.

  3. Step 3 Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. 3 Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. The Google website will now rotate inside your browser.
    • If you don’t see the barrel roll, you may have disabled animations in your browser settings. You may also be using a browser add-on/extension that prevents CSS animations from loading.[1] Temporarily disabling add-ons that change the way websites appear (such as Stylish, Stylus, or various extensions that aim to speed up your browser) may solve the issue.[2]
    • You can also do a barrel roll by typing the text Z or R twice into the search bar and pressing ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return.
    • Another way to do a barrel roll is to point your browser directly to https://elgoog.im/doabarrelroll. The page may take a few seconds to load and rotate.
    • For another Easter egg that makes the search page look different, try searching for askew. This tilts the page so it looks slightly off-center.
