Among the various April fish, Google, which every year makes us laugh with curious and funny ideas (this year, for example, has come out with two new products, the app that cleans the screen Files Go and Google Tulips ), there is one that is not only a fake news, but a real game published for the occasion of April 1st, very funny.
This time the historical game Snake was recovered, made famous by Nokia mobile phones a decade ago, where a snake moves on the screen trying not to go against the edges, leading it to eat dots that appear one by one to make it stretch increasingly.
Obviously, the longer it stretches, the harder it becomes to try to keep it from crashing.
Well, Snake can be played on Google Maps, on any Android smartphone, on the iPhone and on the PC via the website .
Opening Google Maps on Android and iPhone today, you will notice the menu icon a little different from the usual, with the icon reminiscent of a snake and a red dot.
Touching the menu, you can then find the " Play Snake " option, which opens the best April Fool of 2019, the real Snake game to play on the world map in Google Maps.
At the start of the game you can choose the scenario to play between some cities: Cairo, Sao Paulo, London, Sydney, San Francisco, Tokyo or even the whole world.
In the Google Maps game, however, not a snake moves but a train, a tram or a different bus depending on the chosen city.
The goal, therefore, is not to eat, but to collect passengers one by one, making the train become longer and more difficult to manage without making it go to the edges of the map.
To play Snake on the Google Maps app on smartphone, you have to move your finger by swiping it on the screen in the direction where you want the train to go.
To play Snake on PC, you can instead open the special page of the game snake.googlemaps.com/ .
In this case, playing is easier and you can move the train or tram using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Google has said that the Snake game in Google Map will remain available for a week in the app, but will leave the snake.googlemaps.com website version online without deadlines, so you can have fun with Snake on Google Maps trying to beat the record as long as you want.
