%%30%30: A Game

Mouse your way through the map without touching the deadly trees! (Chrome, Opera, etc. only)

WARNING: Do you have important, unsaved work open in other tabs?
You need to close this tab RIGHT NOW. Go save your work. Come back. Enjoy!

Start here… stay with the bears!

Okay, that was easy enough, let's step it up a little?

Lets make it even harder…

Good luck!

Congrats, you made it!

Not on Chrome? Not on desktop? Is the game not working for you for some other reason?
Here's what it's supposed to look like:

What's this about?

Currently, Google Chrome and some other apps* have a bug that causes them to crash when trying to understand certain %-escaped URLs, such as http://github.com/%%30%30. Unfortunately, Chrome tries to understand the link not only when you navigate to it, but also when you hover over links (the trees). That's why causing the hovering over the trees will make Chrome crash.

This is not a bug with loading the page at the URL, but with merely translating a URL from a non-standard form to a standard one (canonicalization) – thanks devs for pointing this out!

* This Chromium bug affects all Chromium-based apps, including:

• Google Chrome
• Chromium
• Opera
• Electron ("Atom Shell")-based apps, such as Atom and Slack

Happy mazing!
