What is Google’s birthday surprise spinner?
If you head to the search engine and type ‘Google Birthday Surprise Spinner’ you will see a game popping up on the top of your screen. You will also be greeted with the ‘Spin’ option. Once you click Spin, the multi-colored wheel will spin itself and give you a result.
The result you get is the game you can play if you choose the Click to Open option. Every result will take you to a separate game. Whether you finish your assigned game or not, you can head on over to spin the wheel again and get a new game to start.
Some of the game options include PAC-MAN, Snake, Cricket, and more.
Search engine turns 25
Google also marked the completion of its 25th year with a doodle. The animated Google doodle shows the various logos the company’s had over the past 25 years.
The search engine was famously started by doctoral students Sergey Brin and Larry Page when they met at Stanford University’s computer science program. This was in the late ‘90s and the duo realized they both had the same dream to make the World Wide Web more accessible.
This led to the bird of Google, a search engine that held the top spot for two and a half decades now.
