Introduction to Bubble Tea
Bubble tea is a popular Taiwanese drink that consists of tea, milk, and sugar typically served with tapioca pearls.
To play a bubble tea game, you could:
1. Make a bubble tea-making competition with friends or family, where each person has to create their own unique bubble tea recipe and vote on the best one.
2. Have a blind taste test, where you and your friends try different bubble tea drinks and try to guess the flavor and ingredients used.
3. A bubble tea scavenger hunt, where you have to find and try different bubble tea flavors at different shops and keep track of which ones you’ve tried and which ones were your favorite.

Bubble tea is a part of the traditional Taiwanese tea culture, which dates back to as early as the 17th century, according to the Google Doodle website. However, bubble tea as we know it today wasn’t invented until the 1980s.
“As waves of Taiwanese immigrants over the past few decades brought this drink overseas, innovation on the original bubble tea continues. Shops around the world are still experimenting with new flavors, additions, and mixtures. Traditional tearooms across Asia have also joined in on the boba craze, and the trend has reached countries like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and more,” the website read.

In the doodle, an adorable Formosan Mountain Dog (also the head chef) can be seen running a bubble tea stand. Taiwan’s indigenous breed, known to be an affectionate family companion, is known for its spotted tongues, triangular head, and thin pricked ears.
The Taiwan Dog is looking for a helper who can help him create customized bubble tea for his customers – a pooch, a sheep, a frog, a kitty-cat couple to ghost-like figures.
The game is quite simple. Once the game starts, users have to fill in five cups of bubble tea with ingredients like boba balls, milk, and flavor up to a recommended limit. Each time the player fails to reach a suggested limit, the head chef can be seen making a grumpy face. Every time the user makes the perfect brew, he is thrilled. The aim is to achieve 3 stars for each cup made.
