April Fools Day is practically a national holiday in Mountain View, so you can expect a series of pranks jokes over the weekend. But is starting early this year, everyone can get in on the joke.

Open up your Maps app you’ll find a new icon above compass symbol that looks suspiciously like an 8-bit Ms. cman. Tap it you’ll be transported to a rom location (we were sent to karta, Indonesia, Munich, Germany) where the roads will be filled with dots power pellets, you’ll be able to control Ms. c-man as she traverses the streets to eat them. And of course, Inky, Blinky, nky, Clyde will be there as well.

For April Fool’s Day, has created a playable version of Ms. c-Mac right inside Maps.

You’ll get 5 lives to play with, the game progresses as you remember, with a different fruit on each level (along with the inexplicable pretzel). Game play is exactly as you expect, but swiping to turn up some of the streets can be tricky, especially when they don’t line up just right. Once the game ends you can share your high score with friends.

also offered a playable c-Man game inside Maps back on April Fool’s Day 2015. 

Game on: loves April Fools, Ms. c-Man on Maps is a perfect way to start things off. Besides, after last year’s Mic Drop debacle, perhaps they’re going to play it a little safer this year.
