In the Google Doodle game “Halloween” you fight against ghosts as a cute, magical cat

Google is celebrating Halloween with a sweet new Google Doodle game that features the return of the magic-wielding black cat Momo.

The third part of Google Doodle Magic Cat Academy In the 2024 Halloween game, Momo once again waves a magic wand to drive away malevolent spirits. This ghost-destroying cat first appeared in Google's Halloween Doodle 2016as she battled ghosts in a Harry Potter-esque school environment. She then returned to the 2020 Halloween Google Doodledives into the ocean to destroy ghouls beneath the waves.

Now Momo is heading in the opposite direction, riding a broomstick into the upper atmosphere to destroy ghosts in the sky.

As in the previous one Magic Cat Academy In Google Doodles, players must quickly draw the symbols that hover over each ghost's head to scare them away. Although it's fairly simple, it can become more difficult when each enemy has a number of different characters – and when an entire horde comes at you at once.

The 2024 Magic Cat Academy Google Doodle will be available on Google Home for 48 hours, just long enough to keep you entertained while you wait for trick-or-treaters to knock on the door. If you're still hungry for more, you can also find this year's Halloween Google Doodle – as well as all of the Google Doodle ghosts – in the Google Doodle library Halloween is over.
