Upon clicking the logo, users will be directed to a search page with the spinner on top, which consists 19 "surprises" the company had launched over the past 19 years, such as Ludwig van Beethoven’s 245th anniversary and filmmaker-slash-visual artist Oskar Fischinger’s 117th birthday doodles as well as various games, including Earth Day quiz, Tic-tac-toe, Pinata, Cricket Cricket, Pony Express and Play Pac-Man Doodle game.

After clicking the spinner, users are given the choice to open the page or spin again.

On the doodle’s page, Google invites all users to play the spinner and announces the company's brand new version of Snake Game. (asw)
