But here’s something a little more pure: Google, the search engine, has a cute little Easter egg for players searching for the game. Give it a try:

From there, you’ll see the Easter egg at the top left-hand corner. I don’t think this is considered a spoiler: The word is “Google” — yes, six letters. The little puzzle is “solved,” after the animation runs through a few words: “Column” to “Goalie” to “Google.”
