Bored at your wit's end at work? Google is here to rescue you from your afternoon snooze fest.
The search giant has recently released a slew of hidden surprises within Google Hangouts to amp up its fun factor. In case you don't know it yet, the company has been known for incorporating silly tricks across its products especially during April Fool's Day.
If you haven't discovered these fun animated surprises yet, here's a list of all the hidden tricks (that we know of as of the moment) as well as some older tricks that are equally fun.
