Google is popping Thursday (September 26).

Google’s latest Doodle recognizes the global popularity of popcorn. In addition to the artwork on the homepage, web visitors can participate in a player-versus-environment game with a popcorn theme.

“I’m sure you’ll believe that today’s interactive Doodle is a tribute to your favorite movie companion and classic late-night snack: popcorn,” Google said. “This game makes Doodles history by featuring the largest number of players ever competing in a match at the same time.”

Because the Doodle game is accessible in multiple countries, Google brings together users from all over the world to compete against each other, as seen on the company’s map.

What is the game of Google Doodle?

Google has been releasing its unique ‘Doodle’ homepages for various purposes since 1998.

The group created its first Doodle, which represents the Burning Man community and arts festival, as an out-of-office note for the company’s founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. They attended the event in the desert.

Doodles have since gained recognition for honoring a variety of subjects, including teachers, black cartoonists and young artists.

The latest Doodle marked four years since the largest popcorn machine set a world record in Thailand.

According to Guinness World Records, the machine at the Carnival Magic Theme Park in Phuket measured over 7.5 meters high, 3.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep. The theme park was awarded the title on September 26, 2020; the game will be live for 48 hours until September. 26 at 11:59 p.m.

How to play Google Doodle popcorn game?

Gamers have two options: they can play alone or use a link to invite friends to play in ‘squad mode’.

To survive each round, players start as unpopped corn kernels, trying to avoid pellets fired by the enemy, including a bad stick of butter. After players select one of three character options, they can play simultaneously, moving from one stage to the next using the arrow keys and space bar.
