Microsoft Edge has been making some serious progress of late and is finally gaining ground in a market that has been dominated by Google Chrome for more than a decade. I’ve been using Edge on and off since it was first released and continue to be impressed by its performance and features. The only thing that Edge is still lagging in is its translation software, it can be hit and miss sometimes.

In an effort to add a little fun and humour to Edge, Microsoft has introduced a fun little mini-game called Surf to the browser. This is essentially Microsoft’s version of the popular Chrome Dinosaur game. Unlike the Dinosaur game though, Edge’s surf game can be played whenever you like regardless of your internet connection.

The Surf game was introduced as a little surprise in Edge Canary and simply tasks you with avoiding obstacles, like krakens and rocks among others. Hearts allow you to gain life while you collect random bonuses. Just like the Dinosaur game in Chrome, the goal is to get the highest score possible by surviving as long as possible. So how do you access the Surf game in Edge on Android and PC? Easy!

where do you find the edge surf game

Microsoft Edge Surf game different game modes and settings.

Unlike the Dinosaur game in Google Chrome the Surf game has quite a few different game modes to choose from. You can switch modes via the game settings menu.

Let’s surf: Endless mode. This is the default mode and lets you Surf as far as you can while avoiding obstacles and the Kraken.

Time trial mode: Your goal is to reach the end of the course as fast as you can! Collect as many coins as you can to help you achieve an even shorter time. The course doesn't change so you can master it as you play. Have you found the shortest possible route yet?

Zig zag mode: Surf through as many gates as you can in a row! Your streak will reset if you miss a gate, but you can keep playing until your lives run out. This one reminds me of Flappy bird for some reason.

As well as these game modes, there are quite a lot of other custom options including a slow mode which allows you to slow the game down to make things a little easier. While you’re here, you might as well find out How to Play Chrome’s T-Rex game with weapons. Dino Swords. Little Arms, Big Guns!
