Google has hidden a free game inside your iPhone – unlock addictive freebie with ‘secret swipe’

GOOGLE has tucked an addictive game into a quiet corner of your iPhone.

It’s purposefully hidden – and the only way to unlock it is by using a special gesture.

The game is a Google version of pinball, and is totally free to play.

You’ll find it secreted away inside the official Google app for iOS.

It might already be installed on your phone – just pull down on the iPhone Home Screen and type Google into the search bar.

Now choose the Tabs icon on the bottom row of options.

Then quickly and repeatedly swipe upwards from the middle of the screen.

You might need to use both hands to do this.

After a few seconds, a pinball game will pop up.

This hidden game works exactly like the physical arcade machine.

Just tap on the left and right sides of the screen to engage the paddles.

The aim is to destroy the blocks by hitting them with the ball.

All the while, you need to ensure that the ball doesn’t fall back down through the middle of the paddles.

You’ll lose a life each time you lose a ball – and once your lives run out, it’s game over.

As you progress through the levels, extra panels that bounce the ball will appear on the sides of the screen.

Try to rack up a high score and beat your pals.

Another hidden Google game

That’s not the only secret Google game that you need to know about.

There’s a brilliant game that’s been hidden inside the Google Chrome web browser.

It works on both mobile and desktop, so everyone can get involved.

The game is called Dino Runner, and is designed to keep you entertained when you’re without internet.

So to play it, you’ll want to turn both Wi-Fi and mobile internet off.

Load up Google Chrome and try to access a website.

When it fails due to a lack of internet, you’ll see a “no internet” page with a small picture of a dinosaur.

You can also access the game directly by typing chrome://dino into the Google Chrome’s web address bar.

Tap the dinosaur with your finger on mobile, or press the space bar on desktop.

Then you can either tap or hit the space bar to make the dinosaur jump.

The objective is to clear the obstacles by jumping, with a maximum possible high score of 99,999.

But it’s a hard game to complete unless you’re a very committed Dino Runner player.

The game was added all the way back in 2014.

And Google once revealed that as many as 270 million Dino Runner games are played each month.
