A is for April Fool's Day on Google Maps - #AtoZChallenge (AC)

It's April. This year is flying by! Unfortunately, it still feels like winter here. I got snow in my area a day or so ago.

Today is the first day of the A to Z Challenge. I hope that you'll enjoy reading along this month.

It's also April Fool's Day. I am a huge fan of Pac Man and all its derivatives.

Well, Ms Pac Man is making an appearance on Google Maps. You can actually play the game in your neighbourhood, provided that the grid is challenging enough for you to play.

You can play it either on your desktop computer or laptop, or on your mobile device. This screenshot is from my Google Maps app:

I just tried it and it's fun! Thanks, Google!

P.S. The (AC) in my blog post title stands for Adult Content. It means that my blog has adult content that may not be suitable for those participating in this challenge.

  2. It's so fun they did that! I'll have to check it out. And gah on the weather. Ours down here in NC is still rather wacky. We keep going from 30s to high 70s.

    1. Awesome! I was fiddling with the feeling-lucky setting, which seems to bring up easier game boards, depending on the luck of the draw.
