You won’t need to install additional software or tools to play Pac-Man from any browser. If you’re on Google Chrome, it’s very easy to access. All you need to do is type “Pac-Man” in the address bar, and the Pac-Man Doodle will pop up at the top of the explore results. Then, just hit the Play button to open the Pac-Man game right in the middle of the page. If you’re on a different browser or want to savor the game in full screen, you can simply head to the official Doodle Pac-Man page. The game can be played using your keyboard’s arrow keys in any browser.
In case you need a refresher on how to play Pac-Man, here are the rules:
- The goal is to eat all the pellets without getting caught by one of the four colorful ghosts in the maze.
- If you’re caught, you lose one of your three lives.
- Eat the big, blinking dots called Power Pellets. This will turn all the ghosts blue and temporarily give you the power to munch on them instead of the other way around. Eating blue ghosts earns you extra points.
- Eat the cherries and other fruit that pop up occasionally for additional points.
