Edge Surf (also known simply as Surf) is Microsoft Edge’s built-in, offline-capable surfing mini-game, launched in 2020 as a nod to the classic SkiFree .

🎮 Game Modes

Endless (“Let’s Surf”)

Navigate waves, avoid obstacles (e.g., buoys, whirlpools, rocks) and outrun a chasing Kraken.

You start with three lives; collect heart power-ups and use energy boosts to survive longer.

Time Trial

Complete a set course as quickly as possible, using coins to reduce your time.

Zigzag (Slalom)

Guide through gates; missing gates breaks your streak.

Collector (newer mode)

Focused on collecting coins without crashing.

🌟 Features & Easter Eggs

Characters: Multiple surfers to choose from—including a penguin—and a hidden Ninjacat unlocked via Konami code.

Visual modes: High-visibility for hitboxes; reduced-speed mode for easier play.

Seasonal content: Winter-themed Ski mode with Yeti chasing, added in late 2021.

Local high scores: Track your best performance per mode.

🤳 Why It’s Fun

• Offers quick, nostalgic, action-packed gameplay reminiscent of SkiFree and Chrome’s Dinosaur game—except vertical and richer in content.

• Controls are responsive, and multiple input options make it highly accessible and enjoyable.
• Community love: Redditors say it’s “much better than Chrome’s game” and remarkably “frustratingly hard” in a fun way.

✅ TL;DR

Edge Surf is a polished, feature-rich, offline mini-game hidden in Microsoft Edge.

With multiple modes, character options, Easter eggs, and multiple input support, it’s a charming, fun diversion whenever you need a break.
