Pac-Man Google Maps

Say goodbye to your productivity today: Google added "Ms. Pac-Man" to Google Maps in honor of April Fools' Day. 

It may not be the most original trick — Google did the same thing on the desktop version of Maps in 2015 — but it's a whole lot of fun. By putting it in the mobile app, you can play "Ms. Pac-Man" on your phone just like any other game. 

And it's easy to find: Just open up the app on your phone and a button to start playing the game will be front and center.

The best part is that you get to play on real-life streets. My game took place in the Flatiron District in New York City. 

You can move Ms. Pac-Man around by swiping in any direction, and your score will tally up at the top of the screen.
