WASHINGTON — It’s no April Fool’s joke: You can play Ms. Pac-Man on Google Maps until April 4. For a limited time, the follow-up game to the arcade classic Pac-Man is available on the desktop version of Google Maps, as well as the Android mobile app.
She’s a map-eater. And today, you can be one too.

The desktop version allows users to play the game from their current location, while the Android version redirects players to a random part of the world. Unfortunately, those who wish to play the desktop version from a less road-heavy region will also be redirected to a random location, according to Android Headlines. It’s not the first time Google injected a bit of the Pac-Man family into Maps. Two years ago, Google featured the game on Maps just in time for April Fool’s Day. In 2010, a Doodle version of the game was available for Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary. Naturally, social media users were pretty excited.
