Here’s a sentence we didn’t expect to write in 2025: you can now physically be Pac-Man.
Yup, the yellow pellet-munching icon is stepping out of the arcade and into the real world as PAC-MAN Live Experience makes its Dubai debut this May at Active Games in Al Quoz — and honestly, we’re already lacing up our sneakers.
This isn’t just a themed photo booth or VR headset situation. You’ll enter a glowing, full-scale maze, packed with twists, turns, and those four ghosts chasing you down as you collect power pellets. It’s the 80s arcade classic, but you’re the one doing the running this time.
Each session runs for 30 minutes of gameplay, with the entire experience clocking in at around an hour once you factor in photo ops, scoring, and refuelling at the retro-themed café. And yes, they’ve made sure there are plenty of neon-lit corners for your content. It’s 2025, after all.
If you’ve ever wished you could step inside your old-school arcade cabinet — this is it.
Tickets start from Dhs160, and while general sales go live Wednesday April 23, you can join the waitlist now for early access (and maybe a cheeky launch offer).
Nostalgia? Check. Cardio? Check. Ghost-dodging adrenaline rush? Big check. If your idea of a good time involves flashing lights, pixelated joy, and a little bit of friendly competition, this might just be your next favourite night out.
