The Google Ghost game officially called “The Great Ghoul Duel,” was a temporary Halloween Google Doodle available in 2022, which is a sequel to the 2018 version. If you are curious to see how Google created this interactive Doodle game, they have an entire page dedicated to this, including early drafts, character sketches, map sketches, and more. Also, find out if you can still play the Ghost game off-season.
How to Play and Win The Great Ghoul Duel
- Use arrow keys or mouse to move around the spooky map.
- Collect the Spirit Flames that will be scattered all over. They will start trailing behind your character like a tail.
- If the other player steals your flames, touch their long tail to collect them back.
- Once you have regained the flames, return to your team’s home base to bank them.
Can I still play the Google Ghost game?
Unfortunately, the Google Ghost game is not playable right now because there are no other players online for this multiplayer game (and there may be no servers allocated for it too). If you try, you will be stuck on an infinite “Waiting for Players…” screen.
We even tried hosting a game to play privately with friends, but no custom share link appeared, bringing our plans to a grinding halt.
However, don’t be disheartened because there’s a chance Google may bring back this game via another theme or Halloween. Plus, there’s another Halloween-themed Google Ghost game that you can still play and that’s Magic Cat Academy from Halloween 2016 (Try it! Its design is pretty cute too).
