Google released Quick Draw, an AI experiment but a kind of game which predicts drawings. It asks the user to draw something on the page and Google’s neural network tries to identify the doodling. While drawing, Google keeps guessing the doodle and it’s fun to watch.

Google Assistant has tons of interesting Google games and believe me, it’s actually pretty fun to play with a voice-based assistant. There are some interactive games and some are voice-only games which can be played on Google Home. Here are a few games which I love the most.
8. Pictures Puzzle
This is an interactive game where Google Assistant asks questions based on a picture. The questions can be really engaging and it will take some time before you come up with an answer. To play this game, summon Google Assistant and say “let me talk to picture puzzle”. You will be into the game instantly. Have fun!

Sherlock Mysteries is a voice-based game which can also be played on Google Home. If you like solving mysteries or are a fan of Sherlock Holmes in general, you are going to love this game. Just ask the assistant to let you talk to Sherlock Mysteries and you will be allotted a case to deal with. The voice assistant basically narrates the story and what has happened, and gives you some time to answer the question. This game is really fascinating and I think you are going to love it.
10. Are You Feeling Lucky
Are You Feeling Lucky is a voice-based game which asks general trivia questions ranging from science to general knowledge. Basically, it’s a quiz which is a lot more fun because of the sound effects in the background which makes the experience quite enjoyable.

Google published Gnome doodle in 2018 which is an interactive game based on German garden dwarfs. In simple terms, Gnomes are small statues which are placed in gardens. Germans believe that Gnome protects the garden and brings good fortune. So in this game, you have a catapult to launch the Gnome to the farthest field of the garden. The farther Gnome travels, the more flowers are planted and you also get more points. It’s a beautiful game and you are going to enjoy playing it.

It can get really interesting once you cross certain levels.

If you don’t know about T-Rex, it’s basically a not-so-hidden game on Google Chrome which only gets activated when you don’t have an internet connection. When the internet is down, just press the space key in the ‘No Internet’ tab to start playing the game. Is that brand new information to you? I hope not. The game is quite good and challenging once you go past certain levels. It’s an enjoyable game until the internet is restored. If you don’t want to wait for your internet connection to die, you can click on the link below to play the game.
18. Text Adventure
Text Adventure is an unusual game hidden behind Chrome’s source code. To play the game, search “text adventure” on Google and press Ctrl+Shift+J if you are on Windows, and Cmd+Shift+J, if you are on Mac. Under the console, you would find an option to play the game. If you answer yes, a set of instructions are provided and you are asked where are the other o,o,g,l,e from the Google logo. Since you are G, you have to find your other o,o,g,l,e friends. Basically, it’s an adventure game for tech nerds.
