Tech giant and search engine Google is bringing back its most popular playable doodles -- first launched in 2017 -- this coming April in an effort to make staying at home more fun during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"Starting April 27, the search engine is re-launching 10 doodles over two weeks with one of the playable doodles making a comeback every day. When a user’s mouse hovers over the doodle on the Google homepage, a message appears that says “Stay and Play at Home with Popular Past Google Doodles.""
Kicking off with a coding game for children, Google's playable doodles will be accessed through simple commands, allowing for gamers of all ages to participate when they are launched later this year.
