If you use Gmail as you default email account and you like old fashioned, retro video-game, you will love  the “Easter Egg” I have just found on the Internet for you! In fact, the guys at Google have added a nice, funny addon in Google Gmail Lab. I am talking about a game, a real retro video-game which has entertained millions of people in the ’80. I am talking about “Snake”. Let’s see how you can play it on your Gmail account!

1. Login to your Gmail account.
2. Click the Gear icon located on the upper right side of your Gmail account main page.
3. Click Mail Settings from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the Lab link located at the beginning of the Gmail settings.
5. Scroll down and Lab page till you see the “Old Snakey” addon.
6. Click Enable.
7. Scroll down the Lab page and click Save Changes.
8. Now, go back to Settings. At the beginning of the page, click General.
9. Under the Keyboard Shortcuts, click the “Keyboard Shortcuts On” option. This will let you play the Easter Egg game by using your keyboards.
10. Now, simply go to your Gmail main page and click the key combination “Shift + &”
11. Enjoy!
