So how does one actually play this game?

Play this game by just opening the Chrome browser. Or if you're already in Chrome, try to visit any web page. Once that page opens, you'll see the dinosaur next to its error message.
If you press the space bar (or up arrow) the dinosaur starts running. To jump over obstacles, press the up arrow. To duck, just press the down arrow.
