Today is 1st April, the Fool’s Day. All of internet is conspiring to fool you, major tech giants and websites are cooking up harmless pranks that will either make you chuckle over your gullibility or grind your teeth for wasting your time in the beginning of the month. The CE team is compiling all the April fool’s day from the internet in one page for your viewing pleasure. You too can contribute posts in this thread. We start with the usual suspects, Google.
Google Maps Pac Man Mode
Google was a day early on this prank as it unveiled the Pac Man mode on Google Maps. When you visit the website you can see the Pac Man game button on the bottom left alongside the satellite maps mode. When you hover over the button you can see a “Ready!” sign and once you hit it you are in for a day of wasted productivity. The streets on the map turn into a maze in which you have to manoeuvre Pac-Man and try to escape from Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. The best part is that it works on any map, whether it’s New York’s Avenues or New Delhi’s Connaught Place. Try it and let us know how you fare in the game.
