Play PAC-MAN on Charlotte’s streets

Google is a giant, but it’s a lovable one. Who doesn’t love the Google Doodle? Now, Google Maps is getting in on the fun with a game of PAC-MAN.

Go to Google Maps and you’ll see a PAC-MAN icon in the corner. Type in an address (I just did Trade and Tryon) and the street map turns into the classic video game. You use your keypad to navigate the yellow man. 

You get 5 lives – my Pac-Man skills ain’t what they used to be and I needed every one of them – and then you can either share your score on social or try again.

If you go to one of the world’s major cities – try Times Square in NYC – the game is a little more sophisticated. Even the map pin is already geared up for the game.

Total time suck. And fun.
