These designs feature dynamic images, animations, and even interactive games. Over the years, Google Doodle’s holiday games have become a “brand memory point” for many users.

As Halloween (October 31st) approaches, although it falls on a weekday this year and most costume activities have already ended last weekend, Google continues the tradition since 2016 and launches a Halloween game featuring ‘Magic Cat’ on Google Doodle.

In addition, Google search page also deliberately hid a small easter egg. When searching for the specific keyword, a surprise animation of bats flying will appear, creating a mysterious atmosphere for Halloween night. What are the new highlights of this Halloween Google Doodle? Let’s take a look together!

Google Doodle’s Magic Cat Game: Draw symbols to repel ghosts

This Halloween, Google Doodle continues the classic gameplay introduced by Google in previous years, still featuring the ‘Magic Cat’ as the protagonist, allowing players to fend off ghosts by drawing symbols.

The participation method is also very simple. Players just need to go to the Google homepage and click on the magic cat animation at the top to enter the game interface.

As the game starts, players will see ghosts appearing one after another, with specific symbols marked on their heads. The players’ task is to draw these symbols on the screen with the mouse. When players correctly draw the symbols on the ghosts’ heads, they can successfully repel them and protect the cats to pass the level.

After the first wave of bats has flown, a row of orange buttons will appear at the bottom of the screen. Just click the bat button to summon bats again, and the number and size will vary randomly each time.

The ‘encryption City’ was also tested. If you press fast enough, you can still see a spectacular scene of a large number of bats flying out, as if you have entered a bat cave.

Whether it’s Halloween minigames or clever ideas on the search engine, these details demonstrate Google’s creative input in every festival and add a lot of festive atmosphere to the use of the search engine.
