Losing your internet connection whilst on the move can be incredibly frustrating.
But Google has secretly put an addictive little game into its Chrome browser that could ease the pain.
The game only appears when you've lost your mobile or WiFi connection and involves Google's tiny digital dinosaur.
Tapping on the T-rex will load the Flappy bird-style game that you can play during your internet down time.
The dinosaur will be transported to the desert and begin running - your job is to help it jump obstacles by tapping the screen. On the desktop version of Chrome, you can jump by pressing the space bar.
As the speed increases, the game gets gradually harder. Mirror Online tested it out and, while we couldn't find it working on our phones, the game was available on our desktop.
A high score counter appears in the top right corner and keeps track of your progress.
Have you managed to play the game? Let us know your high score in the comments section below.
Google isn't alone when it comes to building hidden games into its applications.

Facebook has included both a basketball and a chess game into its Messenger app.
Of course, both of those require you to be connected to the internet.
So, next time you get hit with an internet outage, at least Google's little game will keep you entertained for a bit.
