How It Was Made
The Core Idea
Google Upside Down reverses the homepage vertically, changing the orientation of its logo, text, images, and controls.
Inspiration and Development
The earlier Google Mirror (elgooG) reverses the page horizontally. This experiment instead uses a vertical flip and the upside-down lettering “əๅɓoo⅁” to give the homepage a different orientation.
The Easter Egg Experience
What Stands Out
The opening animation flips the homepage vertically, including its logo, search box, text, and images, then turns it upright again. Click the logo to switch between the two orientations yourself.
How It Works
After the opening animation, click the logo to turn the homepage upside down or upright. Click “I'm Feeling Lucky”, the magnifying glass in the search box, or the microphone icon to make the logo spin rapidly.
The “Google Search” button opens this site’s mirrored list of Easter eggs and links. The list stays the same regardless of the words you enter.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to open Google Upside Down.
- Watch the homepage flip upside down and then turn upright again.
- Click the logo to flip the page yourself, and try using the search box while it is upside down.
- Click “I'm Feeling Lucky”, the magnifying glass, or the microphone icon to make the logo spin.
This fan-made experiment appeared in 2020. It combines a vertically reversed page with upside-down lettering, extending the direction-changing concept of Google Mirror.
Final Thoughts
Try reading the button labels and typing in the search box while the page is upside down. If the reversed layout gets confusing, click the logo to turn it upright again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Google Upside Down (əๅɓoo⅁)?
Google Upside Down is an unofficial experiment that flips a Google-style homepage vertically; “əๅɓoo⅁” is its upside-down name. The opening animation flips the page and returns it upright. You can then click the logo to switch its orientation. The search form still works, but it opens this site’s fixed mirrored list of Easter eggs and links rather than results matching your words.
