Pac-Manhattan

Pac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980′s video game sensation Pac-Man. This analog version of Pac-man is being developed in NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications graduate program, in order to explore what happens when games are removed from their “little world” of tabletops, televisions and computers and placed in the larger “real world” of street corners, and cities.

Pac-Manhattan revolutionized the field of location-based gaming.  It has been picked up and played by teams across the globe.
