Introduction
With Easter on today I figured what better time to create a segment of some great Google Easter eggs, throughout the years the team at Google have constantly come up with some funny and at times interesting hidden gems in their products. Here is a selection of 25 different Easter eggs, unfortunately some other great ones have being removed and no longer working but at the time of writing all these Easter eggs work in 2016 and have being tested on the Google Chrome browser on both Windows & Linux.
Video summary of these Google Easter Eggs:

This is a place located within the United Kingdom which served as the centre for British cryptographers during the second world war.
Bletchley park was known for deciphering and intercepting communications from enemy forces. Simply search for “Bletchley park” on Google search to see the icon decode animation.
Zerg Rush
This is another classic which originates from the Starcraft gaming franchise from Blizzard, any player will be familiar with the zerg rush attack strategy, to activate this simply type “zerg rush” on Google search and press enter to start the Easter egg.
