In 2004, students from New York University created PAC-Manhattan, a “real-life” re-enactment of the game in which people, dressed as PAC-Man and the four ghosts, chased each other around Manhattan city blocks. The playing field consisted of 6×4 city blocks surrounding Washington Square Park, with a total surface area of 171,029m².

Each player was teamed with a controller who communicated the player’s positions using mobile phones.
