Last year, users were invited to search out Pokemon characters floating around world landmarks using Google Maps. This isn't the first time Google has looked for inspiration from video games for April Fools' Day. (Hint: It seems that the streets that converge on Times Square in Manhattan are good bets, as are the spoke-like streets around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.) Google Maps' support page even includes a list of clues about the best locations to play. Wana play Pac Man :) Simply open Google Map, navigate to a place on the map where you want to start your game. Team at Google Maps has coded a web application that lets users turn any city into classic arcade of game with hungry yellow blob and multicolored ghosts with background music. If the game tells you there are not enough streets in your neighbourhood, you can ask it to pick a random location for you. Recently Google Maps has launched Pac Man in Google Maps. A roundabout is handy, too, for evading ghosts. The game works best on neighbourhoods with lots of closely packed streets. Click on that, and Google will transform your neighbourhood into the video-game classic, allowing you to run around your own streets, gobbling up dots and cherries while avoiding those colourful ghosts, Pinky, Blinky, Inky and Clyde.

Type in any address and the Pac-Man button should show up in the bottom left corner. To play, simply go to Google Maps on your desktop computer, or open the updated Google Maps app in iOS or Android.

The Internet giant has just introduced a new feature into Google Maps that lets users transform their neighbourhood streets into a giant game of Pac-Man. If you're a developer at Google, April Fool's Day has to be one the best days of the year - a chance to come up with something silly and creative.
