The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
In April 2019, to coincide with the release of “Avengers: Endgame,” Google hid a playful surprise in Search. Look up “Thanos,” and a golden Infinity Gauntlet appears in the knowledge panel — just waiting to be clicked.
What It Did
Tap the gauntlet and the snap fires. Half of the results dissolve into dust with a cinematic animation and sound, and the results counter drops by roughly 50%. Tap the gauntlet again and the vanished results reassemble — like rewinding time with the Time Stone.
Impact and Reach
The effect spread quickly across social media and became one of Google’s most talked-about Easter eggs. The little touches — dusting particles, the shifting counter, the audio cue — made the gag feel smart, polished, and memorable.
Its Discontinuation
As with many movie tie-ins, Google retired the Thanos Snap in 2020. Fans missed it — so we restored the experience here, so you can keep snapping (and unsnapping) today.
The Restored Experience
What’s Different Here
Our restoration matches the original look and feel: the gauntlet glows, the snap lands cleanly, and results dust away with satisfying timing. We’ve also tuned performance so it runs smoothly on modern browsers and devices — without losing that authentic vibe.
The Easter Egg Experience
Click the button above to wield the gauntlet. You’ll see it beside “Thanos” in the results — one tap snaps, half the items dust out, and the counter updates before a second tap brings everything back.
How to Try It
- Click the button above.
- Find the golden Infinity Gauntlet in the knowledge panel.
- Click the gauntlet to trigger the snap.
- Watch half the results disintegrate into dust.
- See the results count drop by 50%.
- Hear the unmistakable snap sound.
- Click again to reverse the snap and restore the page.
We preserve the cinematic feel with carefully timed particle effects and synced audio, and we’ve optimized the experience for cross-platform performance. Whether you’re on desktop or mobile, the Infinity Stones are ready for action.
Final Thoughts
The Thanos Snap blended Marvel’s big-screen moment with everyday search in a way people still talk about. Google’s original may be gone, but our faithful restoration keeps the fun alive. Try the gauntlet now, then explore more of our revived pop-culture Easter eggs!
