Pacman Go

Pacman Go is a real life version of the computer game Pac-Man This page is the place to collect rules for the game.

We discovered and played it for the first time at the area in front of the municipal administration at "Rathausstraße 1"

The Playing Field

Objective

There are two factions in the game. One is Pac-man who tries to survive by escaping ghosts. The other consists of the ghosts who try to capture Pac-man. Movement is limited to the lines that connect the dots of a grid.

The Grid

The game is played on a grid with a variable size. The number of players depends on the size of the grid. We recommend 3 ghosts and 1 pacman (4 players) on a grid of 5x7

The Grid

The Movement

Players (Pacman as well as Ghosts) have to move in a particular way. They do small steps, maybe even dragging their feet over the floor. Their hands swing in the rhythm of their steps. The movement is sharp and robotic.
