Google has marked the last Half-Moon of January, also known as the Wolf Moon, by launching an interactive game that combines fun and education. This new game challenges players to connect the various phases of the lunar cycle, offering both a competitive and informative experience. Users can earn points by matching moon phases, and as they play, they’re immersed in a cosmic twist on the Google logo, featuring two radiant half moons instead of the usual Os.
The rules are simple: players take turns placing cards, trying to match phases of the moon, and outscore the Half Moon. The game ends when the board is filled, and the player with the most points wins. Strategy and quick thinking are key to success. Beyond the gameplay, players are introduced to the science and cultural significance behind each phase of the moon, including New Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, full moon, and more.

The Wolf Moon, named after the howling wolves heard during January’s cold winter nights, adds a cultural layer to the game. This lunar phase symbolizes survival and the perseverance of wildlife, encouraging players to “join the pack” and embrace the challenge.
In addition to the game, users can download the “Doodle Half Moon Rises” wallpaper to keep track of the moon’s phases on their devices. The game is accessible on both mobile and desktop, making it easy for anyone to enjoy a short and educational break. Google’s latest Doodle brings both fun and learning together, making the lunar cycle both exciting and informative.
