Google Doodle Celebrates Popcorn’s Global Popularity with Fun Mini-Game
Google is heating things up on Thursday, September 26, with its latest Doodle that pays tribute to the global popularity of popcorn. In addition to featuring artwork on its homepage, Google is inviting web visitors to engage in a player-versus-environment game with a popcorn theme that is sure to entertain users of all ages.
According to Google, “You butter believe that today’s interactive Doodle is celebrating your go-to movie companion and classic late-night snack: popcorn.” This unique game is making Doodles history by allowing the highest number of players to compete in a match at the same time ever. With the Doodle game accessible in multiple countries, Google is bringing users from around the world together to compete against one another, as showcased on the company’s map.
What is Google Doodle’s Game?
Since 1998, Google has been releasing its unique ‘Doodle’ homepages for various purposes. The first Doodle was created to represent the Burning Man community and arts festival as an out-of-office note for company founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who attended the event in the desert. Over the years, Doodles have gained recognition for honoring a wide range of subjects, including teachers, black cartoonists, and young artists.
The latest Doodle celebrates four years since the largest popcorn machine set a world record in Thailand. The Carnival Magic Theme Park in Phuket constructed a machine that measured over 25 feet tall, 11 feet wide, and nine feet deep, earning it a spot in the Guinness World Records. The theme park was awarded the title on September 26, 2020, and the game will be live for 48 hours until September 26 at 11:59 pm.
How to Play Google Doodle’s Popcorn Game
Gamers have two options when it comes to playing the popcorn-themed game. They can choose to play solo or invite friends to join them in “squad mode” using a provided link. To survive each round, players start as unpopped corn kernels trying to avoid enemy-fired pellets, including a wicked stick of butter. After selecting one of three character options, players can play simultaneously, progressing from one phase to the next using the arrow keys and space bar.
The game promises to be both challenging and entertaining, bringing together players from different parts of the world to compete against each other in a friendly and engaging manner. So, grab your popcorn and get ready to have some fun with Google Doodle’s latest mini-game!
Overall, Google’s celebration of popcorn’s global popularity through its interactive Doodle and accompanying mini-game is a testament to the company’s creativity and ability to engage users in a fun and interactive way. Whether you’re a fan of popcorn or simply enjoy playing online games, this latest offering from Google is sure to delight and entertain audiences of all ages.
