Not A Joke: Google’s April Fool Day Allows You To Play Ms. Pac-Man in Google Maps
Say Goodbye to your work today! Google added “Ms. Pac Man” to Google Maps in honor of April Fool’s Day. It may not sound new because Google did the same thing back in 2015 but to the desktop version.
Now, Ms. Pac Man can be played on mobile phones just like any other game. It is too easy to play this. All you need to do is just open up your Google Maps app on your phone and click on the pink button on the right. You are then taken to a random spot in the world and get five lives to outrun the ghosts.
The best part of this game is that you get to play on real-life streets. My game took place in San Diego city in California. You can move Ms. Pac Man by swiping in any direction and your score will be displayed at the top of the screen.
