Pac-Man – The OG Ghost Chaser
Pac-Man made his Google Doodle debut in 2010, proving that old-school arcade fun never dies. You navigate a chomping yellow ball through tricky mazes, gobbling up dots and avoiding those pesky ghosts that want your lunch. It even got a Halloween makeover in 2025 because, well, ghosts love a theme party too. The farther you get, the sneakier the ghosts become. Power pellets turn you into a fearless ghost-eater with some wild moves like ice beams and blasters. Classic and addictive!
Garden Gnomes – Launch Those Little Legends!
Who knew tiny garden gnomes could be so wild? In 2018, Google made a game where you fling gnomes from a giant catapult to plant flowers in style. Timing is everything - tap to swing, tap to launch, and tap once more just before landing to rack up the points. Collect mushrooms and dodge logs to boost your gnome's flight, and unlock special gnomes that bounce, soar, or ride logs like champs. Hilarious and oddly satisfying!
Coding Carrots – Bunny Brains at Work
Ever code with a bunny? Google's 2017 Coding Carrots doodle teams up with MIT nerds to make programming super cute. You drag and drop commands to guide the hungry rabbit through mazes to collect carrots. It’s like playing with code blocks but with adorable hop vibes. The levels get trickier, but hey, you’re basically a coding wizard after. Nice!
Halloween Doodle – Magic Cat Academy Spells Fun
Magic Cat Academy is where you become a spell-slinging black cat who's all about blasting scary ghosts. Draw shapes like lines and zigzags to cast spells and clear creepy critters off the screen. Act fast to rack up combos! It’s Halloween, but way more fun than spooky. Bonus points for magical vibes and cute witchy powers.
Pangolin Love – Rollin’ for Romance
Who knew pangolins could be lovebirds? In this 2017 doodle, you roll and jump this scaly little guy through deserts and forests to bring romantic gifts to his sweetheart. Collect gems, musical notes, and ribbons against a ticking clock. It’s like a Valentine’s Day card gone wild, set in exotic spots like Ghana and India. Cute, clever, and a little bit mushy!
Baseball – When Food Takes the Field
Imagine hearing "play ball" and thinking, "Is that a hot dog swinging a bat?" In 2019's baseball doodle, teams of American snacks face off in a backyard BBQ showdown. Tap to bat and try to knock the ball out of the park, but watch out for sneaky pitches that spin, vanish, or just plain mess with your head. The pitcher? A peanut with a tiny hat. Seriously.
Scoville – Ice Cream vs. Fiery Peppers
Peppers are on fire, and your mission is to cool them down with scoops of ice cream. Timing is key - let the scoop fly at just the right power to knock out jalapenos, habaneros, and even ghost peppers that laugh at your weak hits. It’s cool, it’s spicy, and it’s downright addictive.
Celebrating Pizza – Slice It Like a Boss
Pizza lovers, this one's for you. This doodle turns pizza slicing into a puzzle: cut the pie into perfect slices to score stars. Each level serves up a new pizza style from around the world, with fun trivia on the side. It's like being a master chef with a virtual pizza knife - slice carefully or lose your star power!
Pony Express – Gallop for Glory
Step into 1860s boots and race across wild America as a Pony Express rider. Collect letters, dodge rocks and bandits, and try not to face-plant your horse. It’s a high-speed mail mission with old-school style - because no mail-ever wants to wait months anymore.
Soccer Doodle – Keeper of the Goal
Penalty shootouts, but you're the goalie! Slide left and right, dive like a gif, and try to stop the ball from hitting the back of the net. Shots get trickier as you level up - curves, slow-mo fades, and more. It's a goalie test for fans of the beautiful game (soccer, of course) from the 2012 Olympics doodle.
Fischinger – Make Groovy Art and Sounds
Here’s a doodle for the artsy types. Inspired by Oskar Fischinger, this game lets you create rhythmic beats paired with funky abstract visuals. Click around to add notes and watch your music come alive in colorful shapes. It’s relaxing, creative, and a little mesmerizing. Bonus: you can share your masterpiece and flex your DJ skills.
Doodle Cricket – Bugs Take Over the Pitch
Cricket fans, meet the insect league! Play as a grasshopper wielding a bat against snail bowlers. Timing is everything to score runs before you’re called out. The tiny crowd of bugs cheer you on, making this sport-game mashup as cute as it is challenging. Who knew cricket could get this buggy?
Doodle Snake Game – Classic Eats a New Twist
Snake is back, and this time you can customize! Celebrate the Year of the Wood Snake with a slick remake where you slither around eating red fruits to grow longer. Dodge walls and your own tail (ouch!) and pick your snake color and fruits. It’s the same classic addiction with a fresh, fun look.
