But there's also an easter egg to be found in Spore: Will Wright's head. It's quite simple. Go to the main menu and click on the center of the galaxy to get a full view. Once there, you hold down the left mouse button and move it left or right so you can give the galaxy a spin. If you spin it fast enough Will Wright's head will pop up just like in this demonstration video.
