Pacman is the arcade maze chase that started a revolution โ and it's here, free in your browser. Guide the glowing yellow hero through a twisting maze, gobble up every dot, and stay one step ahead of four hungry ghosts. Chomp a power pellet and the tables turn: suddenly the hunters become the hunted. No downloads, no accounts, no sign-ups โ press START and the wakka-wakka begins.
Use the arrow keys to steer Pacman around a 28-by-31 maze inspired by the original arcade layout. Eat every dot to fill the level meter, then clear a path to the four power pellets to flip the ghosts blue and eat them for bonus points. Touching a ghost costs you a life, and you start with three. Finish the maze and you advance to the next level, where the maze resets with all its dots restored and the game runs a little faster.
Desktop: arrow keys to move, and Space or P to pause and resume.
Mobile: swipe in any direction on the screen to change direction.
Every dot is worth 10 points and every power pellet is worth 50. Eat a frightened ghost for a juicy 200-point bonus, and clear a full maze for a 1,000-point level-up reward. Points add up fast when you chain pellets into ghost-eating runs โ and your best scores are saved to a local leaderboard so you can always chase your own record.
Since 1980, Pacman has been the icon of arcade gaming โ a bright, bouncy maze hunt with a universal pull.

It's one of 20 free classic games on ZenClick, ready to play on your phone, tablet, or desktop whenever you need a quick retro fix.
