For all the gamers who love the classic arcade games, here’s a map to guide your Pac-Man efforts. Darker areas are considered more dangerous, as you have a farther distance to travel before reaching an intersection. The lower half of the board is generally considered more difficult to clear, particularly the bottom row, where it is easy to be trapped by ghosts on either side.

There are a couple caveats/glitches, which affect this map. One is that there are four intersections (blue outline) where the ghosts cannot turn upward in scatter and chase modes. Only when frightened can they turn upward at these intersections. There is also the infamous safe spot (hiding spot), outlined in green, where you can sit indefinitely without being touched assuming the ghosts didn’t see you move there.

Happy gaming!
