Play Pac-Maze free online — a classic arcade maze chase. Munch every dot, dodge four ghosts, and grab power pellets to eat them for big points.
Arrow keys or WASD to move; swipe on mobile. Eat all dots, avoid ghosts, and grab power pellets to turn the tables.
Pac-Maze is a classic arcade maze-chase game in the spirit of the 1980 original that defined the genre. You guide a hungry yellow character through a neon-blue maze, gobbling every dot while four colourful ghosts hunt you down. It runs instantly in your browser — no download, no sign-up, free to play on phone or desktop.
Each maze is packed with hundreds of small dots and four large flashing power pellets. Grab a power pellet and the tables turn: the ghosts panic, flash blue, and become edible for a few precious seconds. Eat them in a single chain and the points double every time — 200, 400, 800, then 1600. Clear every dot on the board to advance to the next, faster level.
The four ghosts are not random — each has its own personality. The red one chases you directly, the pink one tries to cut you off, the cyan one sets ambushes, and the orange one is shy and unpredictable. Learning how they think is the key to a high score. You start with three lives, earn a bonus life at 10,000 points, and your best score is saved in your browser.
Move through the maze and eat every dot while avoiding the four ghosts. Use the arrow keys or WASD on a keyboard, or swipe in any direction on a touch screen. Clear all the dots to finish the level.
The four large flashing pellets in the maze corners are power pellets. Eating one makes every ghost turn blue and vulnerable for a few seconds, so you can chase and eat them for big bonus points.
Eating ghosts during one power pellet scores 200 for the first, then 400, 800 and 1600 — a total of 3,000 points if you catch all four before the effect wears off.
Each ghost has its own chase logic. Blinky (red) targets you directly, Pinky (pink) aims ahead of you, Inky (cyan) uses Blinky's position to flank you, and Clyde (orange) switches between chasing and retreating.
