Go to Google Maps, click on the left bottom saying “insert coin”. Thank me.

Yes indeed you can play PacMan on Google Maps today. Well….Ms. PacMan. It’s got a red ribbon so it’s suppose to denote a stereotype of a female character right? We think so anyway.

In case you haven’t realised – Google loves the first day of April and while there maybe some interesting pranks and announcements around, curiously there will almost always be something functional that allows you to have some actual fun.

Previously we’ve seen PacMan before – so this year understandably it’s just recycling and repackaging an old idea – but that doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to play PacMan running around the map though.

Of course from previous years (and recalling from memory) there were “add a song” YouTube buttons that play Darude’s Sandstorm, to Google Nose and many others, I still will love the PacMan game the most.

Time to go running around the map chasing down ghosts! I call that a Saturday well spent.

Happy April Fools guys, stay vigilant and have plenty fun. Oh and watch out for our page. We might have some actual news, and some pranks – you’ll have to figure out which is which. 😉

(OK, we will actually reveal it in our reports. For people who figured it out, don’t tell those who didn’t finish reading the entire articles though!)
