No ghosts to dodge here! Booking your PAC-MAN Live Experience tickets with Day Out With The Kids is smoother than a perfect power pellet run.
PAC-MAN LIVE EXPERIENCE turns the arcade classic into a physical team game in the middle of Manchester. You’ll step into a life-size maze, wear a PAC-Vest and move through projection-mapped gameplay as you dodge ghosts and collect power pellets.
The full experience lasts 50 minutes, with around 30 minutes spent inside the maze. Sessions run as group play, with up to eight players per PAC-Maze and two mazes operating at the same time. Groups of 8–16 will be split across both mazes but briefed together as one group before play begins. To guarantee your group isn't mixed with other players, booking in multiples of eight is recommended.
You become the player inside a full-scale PAC-MAN maze brought to life with projection mapping and tracking technology. The setup recreates PAC-DOTS, power pellets and ghost chases in a real physical space.
It feels like you've actually stepped in the game!
Each PAC-Maze is designed for up to eight players at a time, and two mazes run concurrently. If your booking is smaller than eight, you may be paired with other players.
Your ticket also includes access to Arcade Arena Manchester. Drinks, snacks and confectionery are available to buy on site, and every ticket includes free popcorn.
Session times vary by date and availability. PAC-MAN Live usually runs daytime sessions at Arcade Arena Manchester, with Friday availability limited or closed depending on the live booking calendar. Always check your selected time slot before travelling.
