The third instalment in Google Doodle's Magic Cat Academy series, 2024's Halloween game has Momo once again waving a wand to banish malevolent ghosts. This ghostbusting feline first appeared in Google's 2016 Halloween Doodle, when she fought off spectres in a Harry Potter-esque school setting. She then returned in the 2020 Halloween Google Doodle, diving into the ocean to dispatch ghouls beneath the waves. 

Now Momo is headed into the opposite direction, riding a broom to the upper atmosphere to wreck wraiths in the sky.

As in the previous Magic Cat Academy Google Doodles, players must quickly draw the symbols floating above each ghosts' heads to banish them. While simple enough, it can get trickier when each enemy has a string of different signs — and when there's an entire horde coming at you at once.

The 2024 Magic Cat Academy Google Doodle will be available on the Google homepage for 48 hours, just long enough to keep you entertained while waiting for trick or treaters to come knocking. If you're still left wanting more after that, you'll also be able to find this year's Halloween Google Doodle in the Google Doodle library — as well as all the Google Doodle ghosts from Halloweens past.
