A new game every day. Come back tomorrow for the next one!
Help Google's birthday piñata collect falling presents in this anniversary celebration doodle. Tilt and move the colourful piñata to catch gifts dropping from above while avoiding the ones that would cause it to burst. A cheerful, fast-paced game that captures the joy of Google's 15-year milestone perfectly.
Released on September 27, 2013, this Doodle marked Google's 15th anniversary since its founding by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in a Stanford dorm room in 1998. The piñata mechanic is a nod to the festive party atmosphere of the milestone, with each falling gift representing a different Google product or feature launched over the years. The increasing speed of the falling objects mirrors Google's own rapid growth from a simple search engine to a global technology giant.
Controls
Move your mouse left and right (or use Arrow Keys) to position the piñata under falling presents. Catch the colourful gift boxes to score points. Avoid the items that are harmful — they'll break the piñata and end the game. The presents fall faster as your score increases. Try to catch as many gifts as possible before the piñata breaks.
