Google’s most iconic mini-game is the interactive offline dinosaur feature, but it has also rolled out numerous other mini games on its homepage. Aside from launching a COVID-19 information site and working with Apple on coronavirus contact-tracing technology, the tech giant is rereleasing some of its favorite Doodle games to keep you occupied at home during the crisis.
Over a course of two weeks from 27 April, Google will bring back 10 throwback mini-games in hopes of unleashing your inner child during this challenging time.
The first game from this installment is from 4 December 2017, which marked 50 years since kids’ coding languages were introduced. Created in collaboration with MIT’s free programming language Scratch, the interactive Doodle features a bunny who has to collect carrots with the help of users.

The next Doodle, relaunched on 28 April, is the 1 June 2017 game Cricket which invites users to a little baseball match. The feature was created to celebrate the ICC 2017 Cricket Women’s World Cup.
