The Dinosaur Game is designed as an endless runner rather than a game with a normal final level. Google jokingly made the maximum possible run last approximately 17 million years — roughly as long as the T-Rex existed on Earth.

The Chrome Dino was created by members of Google's Chrome Design team, including Sebastien Gabriel, Edward Jung and Alan Bettes. The game was first introduced in 2014.
