To help you beat the lockdown blues, Google is showcasing popular doodle games from its archive to keep you busy and entertained. Google's quirky doodles have always been so intriguing and the interactive doodle games are so much fun to play.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in people around the world going into quarantine. And boredom is the side-effect of being in lockdown. But Google is ensuring that you don't get bored while staying at home with its 'stay and play at home' initiative. 

A Dose Of Entertainment

The search engine giant has launched a throwback Google doodle game series. These interactive games from the past popular doodles are being released every day by Google.  

A series of ten doodles will be relaunched out of which few have already been shared by Google. The first 'fan favourite' re-released 'celebrated the 50 years of the Coding language for kids'. 


Quite an interesting and addictive game, 'Coding for Carrots' will keep your kids entertained. All they need to do is help the rabbit collect carrots by putting together coding blocks. 

It uses Scratch, a block based visual programming language for children. The game has six levels to clear. Let your child try it out and enjoy the positivity that the search engine is trying to add to our lives during these Coronavirus times.

Make Virtual Garden Bloom

On day five, google comes up with Garden Gnome game that charms its way straight into your heart with cute little gnomes. Before you could start playing the game, you are shared with a brief history about the tiny red-capped gartenzwerg, or garden gnome. These statues are so popular in Germany that they can be found in every garden. 

To play this game, all you have to do is to launch the gnomes as far as possible using the catapult. The more distance, a gnome covers, more flowers will bloom in your virtual garden. This, in turn, will result in earning more points. 

Once you clear the first stage, you get six gnomes to select from. You can try each one of them - with varied shape, weight and bounciness - to check which one can help you grow more flowers!

You can also check out more google doodle games from the archives available on their website. Once you are on the site, click on the interactive section. You will find bazillions of fun games.

So stay at home, break the Coronavirus chain and play these games to keep boredom at bay and stay entertained! 

More games are lined up for the upcoming days. Let's see if our favourite one Rubik's Cube will return or not. Let us know in the comments which one are you waiting for. Also, let us know what games are you playing these days.
