Google has played another classic April Fool's Day prank, allowing users of Google Maps to play Pac-Man on the very street grid that you're viewing.

To play, go to Google Maps and zoom in to your desired location. Then look for a "Pac-Man" view in the lower left where the Satellite View is usually found. The game will show up over the street grid that you have on your screen. Use your arrow keys to get around the maze and escape the ghosts. Unlike drivers in downtown's mazes of streets, Pac-Man doesn't have to worry about one-way signs.

It's not the first time that Google has honored the classic Namco game. In 2010, the company's logo-doodle was transformed into a playable version to celebrate the game's 30th birthday.
