A giant Pac-Man maze for adults and children is coming to Williamstown for its only Victorian appearance in August.
Based on the arcade game released in the 1980s, Pac Maze is an inflatable pixelated world where people can dodge ghosts and grab fruit to be the ultimate winner.
Pac Maze will be launched at a sold-out Brisbane event before coming to Sydney and finally Melbourne for its final Australian appearance at Seaworks.
Due to one date already selling out at Seaworks, an extra day has been added on Friday, August 23.
Viral Ventures’ Charlie Haggarty said the maze was an exact copy of the arcade game.
“We’ve got a custom-built inflatable
maze, which matches the schematics of the Pac-Man game, so it’s a life-size version,” she said.
“You’ve got 15 minutes and there’s codes hidden on the walls of the maze, so you’ve got to fill in your code sheets and fill in your code.
“There’s also ghosts in the maze that you have to avoid, otherwise you’ll lose a life.
“If you lose three lives, you’re out.
“We are teaming the Pac-Maze event up with an ’80s roller disco … it’s just gonna be like one big ’80s warehouse party.”
After the Seaworks party, Pac Maze heads for London, Canada and the US.
