How do I access the Android 10 picross game in Android 11?

[supergiraffe]

Before you say "You can't, it's the Android 10 Easter Egg you moron!", I currently have it running on an Android 11 device. It was running in the background when I updated to A11, and after the process was over it was still there. It plays fine, but I'm afraid I might accidentally close it and not be able to get it back. Given that it still obviously exists in some form in A11, does anyone have any idea how I might be able to restart it if I do close it?

Hi, welcome to AC!

Go to settings>about phone>software info>tap Andriod version 11 consecutively until it pops up

That gets to the Android 11 Easter egg. NOT the picross game. Here's a screenshot.

Welcome to Android Central! Which Android 11 device do you have it running on? Is it running an official ROM, or did you install a custom ROM?

Good point , I'm not seeing that on my other devices

Standard Galaxy Tab S6. No modifications. The only unusual bit is that the picross game was running (in the background) when I did the upgrade, and it was still running after the upgrade, reboot, etc. That seems to imply that it's still available somewhere in there. I'd like to be able to get to it again if necessary, and, if possible, find it on my Galaxy S10 (which now runs A11)

Yeah, but that's the A11 Easter egg. I'm looking to access the A10 Easter egg, which I have currently running in A11. It's an enjoyable game, and if I accidentally hit "Close All" I would like to be able to open it again. Getting to the A11 Easter egg is not necessary, or helpful. Finding where in A11 I can find the A10 Easter egg would be.

Here's a workaround: Easter Egg Collection
