Google Gets In on the Stranger Things Season 5 Fun and Adds an Epic Easter Egg to the Search Engine

Stranger Things is taking over as the show approaches its series finale — and now even Google is getting in on the fun by adding an Easter egg to its search engine.

Head to the Google homepage and search for “Stranger Things,” and a Dungeons & Dragons polyhedral die will appear at the bottom of the results screen. If you click it, it’ll roll to a one — which, in turn, makes red bolts of lightning fill up the screen. From there, your results will be vertically flipped… quite literally bringing the page into the Upside Down.

It’s a fun little gimmick that highlights just how popular and powerful Stranger Things has become within the zeitgeist since it started all the way back in 2016.

Speaking of the Upside Down, the most recent trailer for the beloved Netflix series’ final season teases that the gang may actually go into it at some point before the show ends. Let’s be real, that would be so cool — and chaotic, which seems to be what we can expect from the last leg of the series.

“I think what’s unique about this season is that it starts a little bit in chaos because our heroes ultimately lost at the end of Season 4,” cocreator and showrunner Ross Duffer recently revealed about season 5. “We usually set up their normal life and how they’re going about school, and then we introduce the supernatural element. But in this case, this season is sprinting from the start.”

His brother, fellow cocreator and showrunner Matt Duffer, added that things are very different for the group these days. “They’re not experiencing normal life. Nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore,” he explained. “Their movement is restricted, and there are Big Brother cameras everywhere. So not only are they active — their everyday, normal lives are anything but.”

The last season of Stranger Things is being released in three parts. The first four episodes arrived in time for the Thanksgiving holiday on November 26, with the next three episodes set to debut on Netflix on Christmas Day. The finale will be available to stream on the platform on New Year’s Eve, the same day it will also be released in theaters nationwide.
