Chrome Dinosaur Game Goes Olympic: The Swimming Edition

The standard Chrome Dinosaur Game, a simple endless runner, activates when a user has no internet connection or by typing "chrome://dino" in the address bar. The Olympic versions, including swimming, were introduced as a temporary modification to celebrate the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To access the swimming (and other Olympic) variations, players would start the standard game. Instead of avoiding only cacti and pterodactyls, a blue Olympic torch would appear. Running into this torch, rather than avoiding it, triggered the transformation.

Once the Olympic torch was collected, the game would randomly switch to one of several Olympic-themed mini-games. In the swimming version, the T-Rex would be wearing swimming goggles. The gameplay shifted from jumping over obstacles to diving under floating buoys, and now the T-Rex is in the water instead of running on land. Other Olympic variations included hurdles, surfing, equestrian, and gymnastics, each with different obstacles and visual themes.

Like the original game and other Olympic editions, if the player failed, the dinosaur would get a gold medal before the game reset. The Olympic-themed backgrounds and different actions offered some refreshment based on the original edition.

The addition of the Olympic-themed games to the Chrome Dino was widely praised as a fun and engaging way to celebrate the Tokyo Olympics. It demonstrated Google's ability to creatively adapt existing features for special events. The temporary nature of the update added to its novelty and encouraged players to try it out while it lasted.

The multiple variations, including swimming, kept the gameplay fresh and encouraged repeated attempts to experience all the different Olympic sports.

As with the birthday edition, the Olympic-themed variations of the Chrome Dino Game, including swimming, were temporary. They were linked to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and were removed after the games concluded. This limited availability made them a unique and time-sensitive experience. The standard Dino game remained accessible.

This website has meticulously recreated the Chrome Dinosaur Game: Olympic Swimming edition, ensuring it matches the original experience in every detail. The swimming T-Rex, the underwater obstacles, and the overall visual style are faithfully reproduced. The gameplay functions identically to how it did during the Olympics.
