You're probably familiar with all of the practical things your Google Assistant can do. It can create a to-do list, set reminders for you, order your groceries and make phone calls, but Google's digital assistant can also help you have fun. 

If Google is known for one thing, it's sprinkling Easter eggs throughout its products. Like the Alexa voice assistant on Amazon's smart devices or Siri for Apple devices, Google Home's voice assistant has an expansive list of Easter eggs and it's only going to grow from here. Easter eggs may seem silly or like a waste of time, but they sometimes help the speaker seem less creepy and, in a sense, more natural. Whether you have a Google Nest Hub, a Google Home Mini or a Google Nest Mini, you can utilize these Easter eggs now.

So, let your Google Assistant take a break from its ordinary, humdrum tasks and ask these fun things. Here are 75 Google Home Easter eggs to try yourself.

Bonus fun

Instead of the typical wake commands ("Hey Google" or "OK Google"), you can say, "OK Boo Boo." Google Home will recognize this phrase as the wake phrase and listen to your following command. It's way more fun to say than, "Hi Google."

Since Google Home is powered by Google Assistant, many of these Easter eggs will work on Google Pixel smartphones as well as in the Allo app. For more Google Home commands, check out our comprehensive list and the seven Google Nest commands you should be using every day.
