Celebrating Popcorn: Google Doodle Brings An Exciting Minigame On The Classic Snack - Story Behind It, How To Play

Google Doodle's popcorn game is pretty easy to play, but things can get out of hand pretty quickly as you progress through levels.

Google Doodle Today: Google is celebrating the iconic movie theatre snacks, popcorn, with a special interactive Doodle. Users can now enjoy a fun multiplayer game, accessible directly from Google’s homepage. The game allows participants to compete with players worldwide, all in the spirit of celebrating this iconic snack.

Whether you’re at the cinema or binge-watching your favourite shows at home, popcorn has long been the perfect companion. Its popularity also extends to casual outings with friends, making it a universally loved treat.

Why Did Google Bring A Special Doodle On Popcorn?

Today’s Doodle marks a fun historical moment in popcorn’s legacy: in 2020, the world’s largest popcorn machine earned a global record in Thailand.

The invention of the first popcorn machine in the 1890s revolutionised how the snack was enjoyed, making it a crowd favourite at events and theatres alike.

Popcorn itself has an ancient history, originating from maize cultivation in Mesoamerican cultures, and was even used for decorative purposes by various civilisations. Interestingly, in the US, popcorn made its debut in the 1800s, not as a movie snack but as a breakfast cereal.

Google Doodle Popcorn Game: How To Play

  • To begin, simply open Google Chrome and click on the Doodle showcasing the popcorn theme
  • Once you click, a short tutorial introduces the game mechanics. Your main goal? Avoid getting "popped" while advancing through increasingly difficult levels
  • You can join multiplayer matches with players from around the world or opt for solo play. For those teaming up with friends, there’s a squad mode to enhance the experience

The new Doodle game features real-time matches with global competitors, giving players the chance to battle it out.

For those who prefer solo challenges, the game also offers a single-player mode. Players can choose to enjoy the game alone or join with a group of friends to take on opponents together.
