Google Honors Pac-Man’s 45th Anniversary with Special Halloween Doodle
In celebration of Pac-Man’s 45th anniversary, Google has launched a special Halloween Doodle. This interactive game allows players to engage with beloved gaming characters in a festive setting.
Gameplay Details
For two days, users can access four specially designed haunted-house mazes created by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Players take on the role of Pac-Man, navigating mazes while eating dots and avoiding ghosts.
The Return of the Ghost Gang
The iconic Ghost Gang is part of this anniversary celebration. The ghosts include:
- Blinky: The red ghost who aggressively chases Pac-Man.
- Pinky: A ghost that attempts to outsmart Pac-Man by cornering him.
- Inky: The unpredictable ghost, adding a layer of challenge.
- Clyde: Another ghost with a unique chasing pattern.
Each maze’s design reflects the personalities of these characters, adding strategy to gameplay. Players must anticipate each ghost’s movements based on their behavior.
Power Pallet Feature
Collecting a Power Pallet grants players the ability to temporarily turn the tables. For a limited time, Pac-Man can chase and eat the ghosts, transforming the gameplay experience.

To join in on the fun, navigate to the Google homepage on a desktop or open the Google app on a mobile device. Here’s how to control Pac-Man:
- On Desktop: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
