It’s an April Fools Wednesday in 2015 and one thing is for sure, people at Google are obsessed with Pac-Man. If you happen to log on to google maps today, you’ll notice a neat add on button at the bottom left that suggests that you are all ready to play Pac-Man in the neighborhood streets.
A click on button and you unleash the retro game. The controls are simple enough on a desktop - all you need, is to be good with the arrow keys and you’ll be able to collect all the dots, cherries and in the process avoid being a feast for the ghosts.
This is not the first time Google has toyed with Pac-Man. On the game’s 30th anniversary there was even a playable, Pac-Man Google doodle!
And another little tip - If you want to pull a prank on your co-worker at office just change his homepage to com.google and see the magic unfold. Your co-worker will flip for sure. So go on, pull a fast one, this April Fools Wednesday.
