The Pac Maze
A 1.5-kilometre, LED-lit 'Pac-Man' maze for humans is popping up in Sydney.
Overview
Losing yourself in a giant Pac-Man-inspired maze may or may not be your idea of the ultimate reality break, but it is something you'll actually be able to pencil into the diary when the Pac Maze hits Sydney this August. Yep, someone has created a human-size version of the classic 80s arcade game that had you losing hours navigating tiny yellow Pac-Dots and avoiding ghosts.
The Pac-Maze comes courtesy of the same masters of nostalgia that brought you the adults-only Lego bar, The Brick Bar, which means you can expect a bunch of interactive fun that'll delight both your adult self and your inner kid.
This themed experience will take place at a secret location in the inner west over two days: Friday, August 16 on Saturday, August 17. Organisers are promising an immersive escape room-style experience, held within a 1.5-kilometre, LED-lit maze, with the chance to score prizes if you're quick enough to elude those multi-coloured ghosts (aka Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde). Once you're out of the maze, you can hang out in an '80s-themed pixel room' with the OG Pac-Man game.
You can play solo or in teams of up to ten. If you want to avoid children, head along on the Friday or Saturday nights when, from 6–11pm, it'll be an adults-only affair. Family sessions will run from 11am–6pm on the Saturday.
