Google Easter Egg

Easter Eggs adalah istilah pesan tersembunyi dalam media digital seperti software, website, video game, film, dan buku. Easter Eggs biasanya bersifat banyolan atau informasi rahasia yang ingin disampaikan oleh pembuatnya berupa gambar, video, suara atau perubahan dari tingkah laku suatu software. Easter Eggs bisa muncul akibat dari suatu tindakan/langkah kerja yang tidak lazim yang tidak terdokumentasi dalam manual. Easter Eggs pertama kali di aplikasikan oleh programmer game Atari’s Adventure Warren Robinett pada tahun 1979.
