Google is celebrating the completion of November’s Half Moon cycle with a special interactive Doodle game, launching this Friday. The game offers a fun, engaging way to explore the lunar phases while learning about Earth’s moon.

What’s the game about?

The Doodle features a game where players match various moon phases to complete a full moon pair. Before starting, users get a brief introduction about November’s Half Moon phase and its significance.

How to play?

In this game, you’ll face off against the moon itself! Your goal is to correctly pair lunar phases to create full moons. Match them properly, and you’ll earn points. The game has three levels, and completing all of them leads to victory.

Google also teased a reward for those who win, along with special wildcards that unlock after completing nine unique game boards. It’s an enjoyable way to learn about the moon’s cycle while having some fun.

Who can play?

This interactive Doodle is accessible in over 20 countries, including India, the US, Pakistan, and the UK. Along with the game, players can download special “Half Moon Rises” wallpapers directly from Google’s website.

Google’s Doodle tradition

Google regularly celebrates both global and local events through its Doodles, ranging from national holidays like India’s Independence Day to international events such as the Paris Olympics. While some Doodles are specific to certain regions, those based on universal phenomena like the lunar cycle are visible worldwide.
