Google Maps is a widely used web mapping service and GPS program. As an April Fool's joke in 2015, Google Maps allowed users to play a version of Pac-Man on the map of any real location. The game returned in 2017, this time starring Ms. Pac-Man. As both events only lasted from March 31st to April 1st, it is currently impossible to play the game in any form.
Gameplay[]
The goal of the game is the same as the classic arcade games, but takes place on the streets of the specified map. If Ms. Pac-Man goes off the screen in any direction, she'll come out from a street on the opposite side of the screen.
Trivia[]
- A full-fledged game based off of the same concept, Pac-Man Geo, was released on October 14, 2020.
- The game may have been inspired by the cancelled Super GPS Pac-Man from 2000.
- This is one of two Google-developed Pac-Man games, the other being the Pac-Man Google Doodle.
