Pac-Man to Crossword Puzzle, 5 addicting Google Doodle games to play on search engine birthday

Doodles make an interesting point when people in the unprecedented day mode celebrate special occasions through virtual get-togethers.

While we enjoy the usual doodles that offer a wealth of information about people, places, and events around the world, there are a host of interactive games perfect for spending some time.

Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than some time doodling when you wait for the next office mail to arrive and before it overwhelms you with a truckload of work, we suggest you accept Google’s offer.

Some of these games are over 10 years old, so expect to feel nostalgic when checking out.
