The famous Flappy Bird (technically Flappy Droid) game is still around in Android 9.0 Pie.
First introduced in 5.0 Lollipop, the game was originally the version
number easter egg for the new Android update. But after Android
Marshmallow, Google began to hide it from its usual location, and Pie
continues this tradition.
Just like Nougat and Oreo, the hidden game is the Android
6.0 Marshmallow version, which used marshmallow-shaped barriers. While
it might be a bit dated, it's still a fun time-waster that doesn't need
an internet connection, and it's a nice little secret to share with your
friends to show off your advanced Android knowledge.
With Nova Launcher open, long press the home screen and select
"Widgets." Under the section for Nova Launcher, select "Activities."
Scroll down until you find a drop-down menu for "System UI." Choose it,
then select "Marshmallow Land."
Once
selected, the widget will change to a "P" icon. Simply tap this icon to
launch the game. Fun fact, the Dessert Case Easter egg from older
Android versions can also be found using the same method.
After tapping the widget, select the play button to start the game. You
can customize the number of characters you control using the plus sign
towards the top of the screen, but other than that, it's just a matter
of tapping your screen to keep the Android logo from running into
obstacles — a lot easier said than done!
We will continue to look through Android 9.0 Pie to find any more hidden
gems. In the meantime, check out the link below to cheat the Flappy
Droid game so you actually survive the first pillar.
