You draw lines in various directions to cast the spells and banish ghosts - it's a pretty fun little game that distracted me for a good ten minutes. If you fancy another quick Halloween browser game, you can always return to Google's 2016 Halloween game: a single player Hogwarts-esque game in which players control a spellcasting cat. Alternatively, you can play with strangers online to make up the numbers. Thankfully you can invite your friends to join in the fun by hosting a game and sharing a joining link with your friends. A good game if you have a competitive spirit.īut Halloween's no fun on your own - ask any victim in a horror movie. If you're too young to remember that game, I'd suggest ghoulgling it.

In simple terms, it's a spoopy multiplayer version of Snake. If you successfully deposit enough spirit flames, you can even earn power ups like 'night vision' and increased speed to help you collect more goodies.

The difficulty is that the other team is also vying for the same flames, and can steal them from your tail if you get too close. Great Ghoul Duel sees players fight it out to collect as many spirit flames as possible and bring them back to your team's collection point. Like in previous years, the usual logo has been replaced with an interactive Halloween game - but this time Google's taken things a step further, as this particular doodle is multiplayer. As pretty much everyone's first stop on the internet, you may have noticed Google is looking a little different today.
