Can you really play Pac-Man on Google Maps?

Postby sixam1 » March 31st, 2015, 6:04 pm

I read a news story today about how Google Maps now lets you play Pac-Man at a few select map locations. It may only be a temporary feature for April Fools Day. Here is the link for Google's support page to get the Pac-Man game to turn on: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6178227?hl=en#hints

Has anyone been able to get it to work? I can not get it to work on my desktop PC. The Pac-Man icon that is supposed to be in the lower left does not show on my screen. Google instructions does say it for mobile devices, so I guess maybe it won't work on desktops. Also, you have to read the "Get a Clue" section to find what maps the game appears on. Times Square and Niagara Falls are suppose to be two of the locations.

I finally got Pac-Man to work. The problem was that I was still using the old "classic" version of Google Maps, and the Pac-Man game only appears on the "new" version. The game works great. It's tricky to move on diagonal streets, and I wish there were more power pellets.
