Pac-Man Celebrates 45 Years with Spooky Google Doodle

On October 30th, 2025, Google is celebrating the 45th anniversary of the iconic video game Pac-Man with a special Halloween-themed doodle on its homepage. The doodle features an animated Pac-Man character wearing a witch's hat, chomping pellets, and attempting to evade the game's signature ghosts.

When users click on the doodle, they are invited to play the classic Pac-Man game directly on the Google homepage using their computer or mobile device's arrow keys. The game includes eight levels, four of which are unique haunted house mazes. Google encourages players to pay close attention to the design of each haunted house, as it reflects the personality of the ghost haunting it.

To turn the tables on the ghosts, players can collect power pellets that allow Pac-Man to chase and consume the ghosts. This special Halloween-inspired version of Pac-Man is sure to delight both longtime fans and new players alike as they navigate the spooky mazes and try to achieve high scores.
