As it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Google has decided to mark the occasion with a doodle.
However, this year they’re stepping it up, and have made a four-level game for browsers to enjoy, with an unlikely star at the heart of the plot.
There are no little teddy bears, puppies or cupids in this Valentine’s Day game, no, the pangolin has emerged as the hero of the day.
It is not an obvious choice and you may not even know what it is, but you are about to fall in love with this unique animal.
Google has partnered with the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness of the pangolin, as they are unique for three reasons:
They are the only scaled mammal
They’re solitary creatures who only meet with their mates during the mating season
They are the most poached and trafficked animal in the world
There is a link in the game to donate directly to the WWF, so you can enjoy a game and contribute to a good cause.
The storyline involves two pangolins, who are separated by distance and have been sending love letters to each other.
They decide to meet for the first time on Valentine’s Day.
As the pangolin only meets its mate once, this one knows it has to make a good impression – so it travels the world to learn about how to make the date perfect.
To get you started, here’s how to play the first level.
