Google Pac-Man is the iconic browser-based doodle Google created in 2010 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bandai Namco's legendary arcade game. Rather than a static image, Google replaced its homepage logo with a fully playable Pac-Man maze built from the Google letters themselves - complete with all four original ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde), cherry bonuses, power pellets, and authentic sound effects. It was the first interactive Google Doodle game, and it changed everything.
Our site embeds this exact play doodle online experience so you can access it any time without searching Google. Whether you're revisiting this browser doodles game classic for the hundredth time or discovering google games for the first time, the maze is always ready.
When Google launched the Pac-Man doodle on May 21, 2010, it was estimated that the doodle cost the world approximately 4.8 million hours of productivity - because nobody could stop playing. The doodle was so beloved that Google made it a permanent fixture at g.co/pacman. The ghost AI faithfully replicates the original 1980 arcade cabinet's behaviour: Blinky chases directly, Pinky targets ahead of Pac-Man, Inky uses a complex calculation involving both Blinky and Pac-Man, and Clyde alternates between chasing and retreating. Mastering these patterns is the heart of doodle google gameplay at its deepest level.
