Doodle Champion Island Games, launched by Google is a game of seven sport events where you have to defeat each sport champion to collect all seven sacred scrolls and complete the hidden challenges across the game.
"Over the coming weeks, join calico (c)athlete Lucky as she explores Doodle Champion Island: a world filled with seven sport mini-games, legendary opponents, dozens of daring side quests," said Google.
The tech giant further added that the animations and characters for Champion Island Games are created by STUDIO4°C, a Tokyo, Japan-based animation studio.
The developers of the game said that they have identified stories, folktales and highly recognized characters from all over Japan, and connected them to build the game. "In the design process, each event champion was selected from those unique stories," they added.
In order to play the game, you will have to click on Google Doodle available on the main search page. It will direct you to the game.
