- We took to the virtual streets
to find the strangest Easter eggs on Google Maps.
- Oh, that's creepy! Oh my God!
- (FBE) Now it's a race around the world
as our competitors scramble to find
what's hidden in plain sight.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
I have sent you your first coordinates
and when I say go, you will be racing
to find the Easter egg by roaming around Google Street View.
Now, for round one, there is a spacecraft hiding in plain sight.
Now the first person to get inside of it wins the point.
Now if you look around, it is actually visible from your drop site,
but it may not look like a spacecraft to you.
- That doesn't sound like we're going to Google Maps.
We're not going to Google Maps, we're going to the NASA website.
- (FBE) On your mark, get set, go!
- Oh, we're in a city street. Looks like London.
Double decker bus.
- It looks like London.
- It's a little busy street. - Yeah, it's London.
- Hidden in plain sight, in plain sight.
- There you go.
- But I don't know that I'm in it? What kind of...
- Aw shoot, hidden in plain, got it, I know exactly what it is.
Ah, got it, I'm in it, perfect. Yep.
- (FBE) He's too good, he's too fast.
- I got this, I'm on point.
- I'm so blind! - I'm looking around now.
- You found it already? - No I didn't, no, no, no.
Just the X part, I just, you know.
- Oh, I was gonna say oh my goodness! (Dave laughs)
- (gasps) Oh, oh, I think I found it! Oh, how, oh I hate Google Maps.
Why are you doing this? I'm trying to click on it!
I found it! But it's like, when I click on it,
it keeps like disappearing.
- You said it's hiding in plain sight, so I'm trying to look at the obvious.
I'm trying to look at the sky. (laughs)
Um... - (FBE) Okay.
You guys got 30 seconds left.
- The X is not coming up!
I'm telling you the X is not coming up!
I know what it is, I can't get in.
This is so frustrating! Oh my God, I hate this!
- Oh, I found it, I'm here! - (FBE) And that is, you did?
- I think! - (FBE) What did you click?
- I uh, the phone booth. (bell rings)
- (FBE) Okay, are you in a spaceship?
- I think so.
This is definitely something out of like,
a retro space alien movie? It's interesting.
- It's gotta be Doctor Who, right?
- Yeah, that's what I was thinking of! - (FBE) It's Doctor Who!
- Are you freaking kidding me? It's sitting right there.
Damn it!
- (FBE) 10, 9, 8... - No!
It keeps turning around! (grunts) - (FBE) 7...
- Where is this spacecraft? - Let me in!
- ...we talk about?
I'll do that... - Oh, I got in, I'm in!
- (FBE) And that is time! - Wait, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!
- (FBE) That is time. - I'm in, I'm in, I'm in!
- (FBE) You're in?
- I got in literally as soon as you said it.
You heard me, I was struggling. Like, it was not letting me in.
- You could go in?
- (FBE) What do you think now that you know
like just in Google Street View there's this weird
spacey Easter egg? - Easter egg.
Awesome. - That's interesting.
- That's not fair, I don't know Doctor Who!
How was I supposed to know there's a trash can?
- (FBE) Okay, it's time for round two.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
You're gonna find the man in two hats.
He's wearing both a baseball cap and a hard hat.
Now, you'll notice the people in this environment
might be a little different than what you're expecting.
But don't get distracted, just find the man in two hats,
and I'm gonna put one minute on the clock.
Alright, you ready?
- Yeah. - Sure.
- (FBE) Alright, on your mark, get set, go!
- Okay.
Load, come on Google, why's it so slow to load?
- What the [censored]? Ugh!
- Okay, okay. - Ew, oh my God!
- (FBE) And as always, tell me what you're seeing
as you walk around. - Rural.
I see some characters in a different language on the street.
(bell rings) - Found him.
He doesn't look like a person, he looks like a mannequin,
and it's very, very creepy.
- Oh, wait no, that's, yeah, I found him, I found him.
- No you didn't, no you didn't.
- (FBE) Okay, wow, another point for Jaxon.
He is unstoppable. - (Rachel) What?
- No, that was legit just luck. That was legit luck.
I was just, I was going through it.
- What the hell? That's spooky!
- (FBE) What's spooky, Michelle?
- There's just a bunch of scarecrows! (Nick laughs)
That's weird!
- Yeah, at least it's not clowns. - Ah, I found it.
(bell rings) - (FBE) You found it?
- Yeah. - I hate you.
- (FBE) Everyone in this town is a scarecrow.
How do you feel being here?
- Oh, that's creepy! Oh my God!
- (FBE) This is the work of a local artist
who arranged all of these tableaus of scarecrows
all around the town. - Super creepy.
- That's creepy. - Like super creepy.
- Oh, what? - Yeah.
- What, wait, that's so weird.
Oh, now I get what you meant by ugh.
- It's eerie, but the flowers that you know,
are sprouted here and there, make it look very sweet.
- Where in the heck did you find that damn guy?
You know what, I'm not even gonna try.
- (FBE) Alright, round three coming up!
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
I've sent you the coordinates, here's your mission.
Tell me what is wrong with the man
standing the doorway of Ollivanders.
The first person who can tell me gets the point.
On your mark, get set, go!
- Oh, this is at Warner Brothers London.
Where's Ollivanders?
- Oh, hang on, hang on.
- I thought you'd already find him by now, but um...
- Yep, Diagon Alley.
- Click further, come on, come on! Come on!
- Ollivanders is over here.
I see it, right there. Who is in the doorway?
Ah, got it, yeah, yeah, yeah. How about I, I found the problem.
There we go. Guy has no head.
(bell rings) - (FBE) Alright.
Jaxon for the point! - Ollivanders.
- Okay, what do you want to know about the man in the doorway?
- (FBE) What's wrong with him? - He doesn't have a head.
(bell rings) - (FBE) Okay, point for Jade.
- I worked at Universal, at Wizarding World.
So when I was on the street, I knew how to get to Ollivanders.
Like, I knew which way it was, and where it was.
- (FBE) Okay, well guys, time is up on that one.
I'm afraid to say no one got the point.
It was a mannequin without a head
standing in the doorway of Ollivanders.
- Ah. - What the hell?
I'm spooked.
- (FBE) (laughs) Why are you spooked?
- If you go down where Ollivanders is,
if you go down a little bit more, there's a person in an alleyway.
- Oh yeah, I saw that dude. Yeah.
- That's scary!
- I just kinda knew it from the movies,
because I remember it was kinda far down.
- (FBE) Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- I just kind of approached it like walking back and forth,
you know, like multiple times.
- (FBE) There needs to be a radical rethinking of your strategy.
- Okay, let me group, okay. (Nick laughs)
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- (FBE) Here is your mission.
There is a problem in this neighborhood.
A really big problem.
Now whoever can tell me what the problem is,
and tell me first, wins the point.
Are you ready?
- Yeah. - Got it.
- (FBE) On your mark, get set, go!
- Hop in, okay. Here we go, okay.
- You said there's something what?
- (FBE) A big problem in this neighborhood.
Tell me what the problem is.
- There's a big problem.
- (FBE) You won't have to go far. Don't go too far.
- Okay, so I'm guessing, neighborhood, houses, right?
That's what neighborhood means, right, okay, cool.
- (FBE) Anyone seeing anything weird yet?
What kind of environment are you in?
- It's a normal neighborhood.
- Uh...
- (FBE) Brandon, does anything look amiss?
- Yeah, why is there, oh my God, there's a house on fire!
Oh my God! - Wait, why can't I find that?
- You know what's crazy about Google,
about Google Maps?
You literally take one step forward, and boom something crazy happens.
- Oh. Okay, there's a fire.
(bell rings) - (FBE) (laughs) Okay.
And the point goes to Michelle.
- God, there's a fire, yes. (laughs)
- Yeah, it looks normal, like... - Whoa!
- Maybe something's going on inside the house.
- What the, okay, yeah, I see the problem.
(bell rings) (Nick laughs)
I'm seeing a house fire.
- (FBE) Now obviously, house fires are bad,
but this is definitely an interesting thing
to find in Google Street View.
Were you surprised at all by this?
- Dude, I took a stroll down the street,
turned around and the house I started at was on fire!

- (FBE) Here's your final mission in the regular gameplay.
Get to the shrine on the roof.
It's not that far away, don't wander too far.
It is towards the north, if you wanna use cardinal directions.
So remember that you're trying to get to the shrine on the roof.
And I will know who makes it to the shrine on the roof first,
because they will be able to tell me what color the boat
out on the ocean is. - Got it.
- Get to the shrine on the roof, tell the color of the boat.
- (FBE) That's right. - Okay.
- Okay. - (FBE) Are you ready?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- (FBE) Okay, on your mark, get set, go.
- Okay.
Ooh, load, load, load, load, load! - Get to the shrine.
- Dude, where are we?
- We're in a busted up back alley kinda thing.
Lots of shrubs. It's a little, not scary or anything,
but it's not pretty.
- I'm just in some trees. I'm in like... (laughs)
Okay, I see like buildings on the left.
- Oh my God, where the, where did I end up?
This is freaky.
Something out of like Dr. Stone or something,
where everything's broken down.
- Oh wow, this looks very creepy.
This looks creepy as hell.
Where the hell have you taken us?
- Oh yeah, that's totally broken.
Okay, I gotta go over there. Alright.
- Just gonna really quickly see.
Nope, I think I've gone too far.
- Yeah, I think I'm...
- Oh yeah, I for sure have gone too far.
- Okay, okay, okay. - Okay, I'm good.
- The boat, is it a white boat? - (FBE) And Rachel for a point.
Nicely done!
- Ding, ding, ding!
- I don't know if this is a shrine, or that's just like a chimney.
- Aw dude, I'm lost as hell already!
- Me too, there's lots of construction!
- Ah you know what? I'm gonna restart!
- I just... - I'm gonna restart!
- Where'd you, ah!
- Wow, this is... - Oh, white?
- (FBE) The boat is white. Michelle for the point.
Dave, did you make it to the roof?
- I am on a roof, yes.
(group laughs)
- (FBE) 15 seconds.
- Oh, I'm not gonna find this. I'm just lost in construction.
- Go forward...
- I see the ocean, but I don't see a shrine, or a boat.
- (FBE) Three seconds left.
- Oh, this is creepy. I think I'm lost as hell.
- Yeah. - (FBE) And that is time!
Great job, you two. Ready for the lightning round?
- Yep, let's do it. - Yes.
- (FBE) Okay.
You've got five Street View coordinates.
When I say go, you can start visiting each place.
As soon as you've found the Easter egg,
move on at your own speed.
A point for every right answer.
You've got 90 seconds.
- You know, you're totally stressing me out right now.
- (FBE) On your mark, get set, go!
- Find the thing that's odd, oh.
- Oh my God, I got the first one!
- You got the first one already?
- Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it. (Nick laughs)
- Okay, okay.
- Got it. - Oh, got it.
- Ah, got it. (bell rings)
- Aw dang, I don't, you're much better at this than me.
- (FBE) Brandon, already on a roll.
- Can I skip to the next one, or do I have to get...
- (FBE) You can yeah, no, you don't have to go in order.
- How did you... What?
Okay, yeah, I'm just gonna skip it. - (FBE) One minute left.
- Okay, I got this guy.
- Oh yeah, you sent me to this place, dude, every, ah, I found it.
(bell rings) (Nick laughs)
- What the, how are you so good at this, Brandon?
- Something.
- Ah, can't find it... - Okay, okay, I found it.
- I'm skipping to three.
- (FBE) Rachel, have you gotten your second point yet?
- I have not. - (FBE) Uh oh. (laughs)
- Oh no, um, okay... - Got that!
- No you didn't, stop! - I don't know if I skipped one.
- Shoot, I'm so bad at this. (laughs)
I was only good at the fandom ones.
That's all. - (FBE) Alright, 30 seconds left.
- Got it. (bell rings)
Alright, I found the third one, I'm on the fourth one.
- What!?
- Please don't be a pop up, please don't be a pop up.
- Going to four, but I had to skip two.
- I don't know if you have to go far,
ope, there's something right there.
- What's weird about this, what's weird about this,
what's weird, what's weird?
What is weird? - Aha!
- Um, yeah.
- Got it! (bell rings)
(Rachel sighs)
- Oh, oh, yes, he's here. I found him, okay.
Finally, one point. (laughs) Wow.

- Come on, baby.
(bell rings)
- Ah yep, there we go, okay. Got 'em all.
- Mmm, huh.
(bell rings) - What the hell?
(bell rings) - (FBE) Four, three, two...
- Boom. - (FBE) And that is time.
- Four out of five. - Ah!
- I got all of 'em!
- Well, I only found one!
- I choked.
- (FBE) Also, a special shout out.
Two of those coordinates were provided by members of FBE Super.
First one was two men in scuba gear.
That one came from FBE Super member Confusion.
- Like that one, that one was a cool one,
'cause he was like eh. - Dope, dope!
- (FBE) And the second one was from Pigeon People,
which was contributed by FBE Super member Mira!
- Yeah, Mira! - Oh, okay, cool.
That's awesome, that was a good one.
- (FBE) Well with an overall score of nine points,
Jaxon, you are victorious! - Thank you, thank you.
I'm proud, I'm proud of my achievement!
- Well deserved, yeah, yeah.
- I'm so sorry!
- (FBE) Michelle, you are our winner today, how do you feel?
- I need to get off GeoGuessr. (laughs)
- Brandon, amazing round. You got four points.
That makes you the winner over Jade.
How do you feel, Brandon?
- I am really happy, 'cause I was actually pretty scared.
- (FBE) Which was the most surprising Easter egg today?
- I think the Japanese, like the little place that was made
by that one artist.
Imagine just like driving or going on a road trip,
and like you just see that, and you didn't know it was there.
Like, that's interesting to me.
- You know, I've been feeling a little like claustrophobic in my house,
cooped up, I should go on a trip!
I should go on a Google Maps trip!
- This is really cool.
Honest to God, never even occurred to me
that Google would put Easter eggs in,
but of course they'd put Easter eggs in.
