Attention, Ms. Pac-Man fans. If you don't already have Google Maps installed on your smartphone, you're going to want to do that today.

 

You can now take a trip down memory lane and play the classic arcade game right inside Google Maps. There goes your weekend.

 

"You can chomp fruit, avoid ghosts, and collect Pac-Dots along city streets in Google Maps worldwide—all as Ms. Pac-Maps," Product Manager David Hendon wrote in a blog post. The feature is available now through Tuesday, April 4, so you better get chomping before it's too late.

 

Just tap on the Ms. Pac-Maps icon on iOS and Android to enter the maze and start chomping away. You can also try it out on your desktop by clicking the Ms. Pac-Maps button at the bottom left of Maps. Be sure to sign in so you can save your top score on the leaderboard and share it with friends.

 

This isn't the first time Google has brought Pac-Man to the masses. One year ago today, the web giant made it possible to play Pac-Man inside Maps. Perhaps this is a new April Fool's Day Eve tradition?

 

In 2010, meanwhile, Google celebrated Pac-Man's 30th anniversary with a homepage doodle that let people play the game right from Google.com. You can still test your skills on Google's doodle page.

 

If you have an Xbox One, you can also play Ms. Pac-Man on your console, thanks to the Xbox 360 backwards-compatibility feature.
