How much time do Google engineers spend devising elaborate Easter eggs as opposed to actually doing what they're supposed to? We're guessing it's a fair amount, as Google's myriad services and products hold an impressive amount of hidden treasures which don't serve any other purpose except to amuse.
The latest among these, discovered by Reddit user attempt_number_1 (via RockPaperShotgun) is a fully functional text adventure game, hidden inside the development console of Google's Chrome browser.

Then hit Cmd+Option+J (if you're on a Mac) or Control+Shift+PC (if you're on a PC). A console window will open with the following prompt: "Would you like to play a game? (yes/no)".

The game is fairly simple but not completely without depth, which you will realize when you first grab a map and start exploring.
