Google has launched an April Fool's Day version of Google Maps that allows users to play the classic arcade game Ms Pac-Man on real streets.

Google Maps users on smartphones can access the game by opening up the Google Maps app and clicking the pink circle in the bottom right of the screen.

The app transports you to a random location, turning the map blue and throwing you into a version of the game in which you must guide your yellow character around the map, eating up dots and avoiding the colourful ghosts.
