Everyone who has ever used the Internet has likely used Google and its various services. Initially, Google was simply a search engine where people could find the information they needed from the web.
Starting from these humble beginnings, Google now offers a wide array of services.
It also introduces fun experiments to entertain its users. Now, Google provides games like Google Snake, Google Guitar, and Pac-man during searches, allowing users to play directly on Google if they have some free time or want to enjoy a game.
Google has also added some fun tricks to its search engine known as Easter Eggs.
“Do a Barrel Roll” is one such trick, where the search results page rotates, making the user’s screen spin while showing the search results.
The phrase “Do a Barrel Roll” was first used in the Nintendo 64 game Star Fox.
In this game for the Super Nintendo, players can perform a barrel roll by tapping the L or R buttons twice.
Peppy Hare, a character from Star Fox, instructs the player to “Do a Barrel Roll” with text appearing on the screen.

Google Search: The Barrel Roll Easter Egg
You can search for “tilt” or “do a barrel roll” or “Z or R twice” on Google. This will make the whole page rotate 360 degrees while showing the search results. It takes about 5 seconds for the page to rotate.
This action is similar to performing a tilt jump on a motorcycle. The sole purpose of this feature is to demonstrate the rotation effect.
This Google trick can be used on any device, such as desktops, laptops, or mobile phones, and on any browser including Safari, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Firefox.
Simply go to the Google search page and type in the search.
To see the barrel roll trick, type “do a barrel roll” into Google’s search box. The whole results page will spin 360 degrees twice.
There are also other websites where you can try this trick with different repetitions like 2, 3, 5, 5.5, 10, 15, 20, 50, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 50000 times, 1 million, or even 100000000000000000000000000000000000 times.
When Google introduced this feature, the “Do a barrel roll” search quickly became a trending topic globally on Google and Twitter. Although it’s not trending now, millions still enjoy it.

However, this trick only works if you specifically search for “do a barrel roll.” If you use another query, the results will appear in the usual, non-rotating way.
To address this limitation, you can use the website Doabarrelroll.info. This site allows you to customize the search engine logo and whatever you search will display results in a spinning format.
The rotation on this site happens much faster than on Google, taking just 1 second, which is 80% faster.
This site allows the page to spin once for every search, but you can also set it to spin multiple times for each query.
