Escape From A Life-Size Pac-Man Maze, Coming To Pittsburgh Next Year

Virtual hands up, Pittsburghers, if you’ve ever wiled away the hours, not even noticing the time slipping away as you maneuvered your Pac-Man away from ghosts and toward safety. Maybe you even started feeling the nervous adrenaline as the ghosts made their first appearance, determined to eat you. Relive those days of chasing the high score on Pac-Mac next fall. That’s when a life-size Pac-Man Maze comes to Pittsburgh and to Philadelphia.

Outrun life-sized ghosts as you desperately try to escape from a life-size Pac-Man Maze, set to arrive in Pittsburgh on September 12, 2020 and in Philadelphia on September 19, 2020.

The Maze, which is heading to select cities throughout 2020, lets players experience a real life game of Pac-Mac.
Work your way through the maze, collecting as much fruit as you can and as you avoid being eaten by those pesky ghosts. Don’t worry, though, as you’ll have three lives to accomplish your goal.

However, you’re lone goal isn’t to escape the maze with the most fruit. You must also successfully solve a “coded puzzle.”
Collect as much fruit and solve the puzzle as fast as you can, and try not to get eaten. Three strikes and you’re out of the game.

Players who collect the most fruit and solve the puzzle in the fastest time will win the competition.
Once you’ve played your life-size game of Pac-Man, you’ve still got tons of fun ahead. Go over to the Pixel Room, an 80s-themed space where you can play old-school arcade games. Other activities will also be available.
