About Google Halloween Pac-Man

Google's Halloween Pac-Man is the seasonal edition of the Pac-Man doodle: the same chase, re-skinned for October with a haunted maze, pumpkin power pellets and ghosts that are actually ghosts. Google shows it in its Search Playground around Halloween; this page keeps it playable year-round.

It plays like the classic — eat the dots, dodge the ghosts, use the power pellets — with the doodle's slightly larger, more forgiving maze. If you want the original arcade layout, it's on the Pac-Man page.

Google Halloween Pac-Man tips

  • Use the tunnels: ghosts slow down inside them and you don't.
  • Save power pellets for when two or more ghosts are close.
  • Pre-turn at junctions so you don't lose speed.
  • The doodle maze is wider than the arcade one — there's more room to lure ghosts into a pellet.
