Google April Fools’ Day 2013 Jokes

Google has made it a habit to unleash a slew of gags and pranks with imaginary product launch on April Fools' Day. Google’s practical joke begins in 2013 with an offer of a Treasure Hunt in an old Map when you launch Google Maps.

Last year Google pulled a similar trick with a gag of 8-bit Google Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) maps, which was hilarious. If that 80’s NES look was not retro enough, Google went further back to the 1800’s with this years launch of April Fools’ Day pranks with a supposed Treasure Hunt on Google Maps.
:-D

Be warned though. Google warns that the April Fools’ Day Treasure Hunt Map is based on “Beta Maps technology and has certain requirements. Your system may not be able to display at higher resolutions than paper print. Take care when unfolding the map to avoid ripping it.”

Here is want happens when we try our hand at the Google April Fools’ Day Treasure Hunt by clicking on the ‘Try it now’ button.

People are going to have a nice time trying to spot what Google has put in in that April Fools’ Day Treasure Hunt map.
