Whether you’re a gaming pro or love quirky adventures, this live-action twist on the classic game promises a wild ride for all ages.
Picture this: you walk into Active Games in Al Quoz, and suddenly, you’re no longer in Dubai, you’re inside the Pac-Man universe. The maze isn’t just a random set of walls; it’s a full-on interactive playground packed with retro charm, neon lights, and non-stop action.

You’ll need quick feet and even quicker thinking to outsmart the four famous ghosts Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. They’ll chase you through the maze, and only smart moves (and a little luck) will save you. But fear not just grab enough Power Pellets, and you get to turn the tables and chase the ghosts instead.
The whole experience lasts 30 minutes, but the fun spills over into the themed photo zones and a retro-style café where you can recharge with snacks after the game. Plan for about an hour of total fun, and trust us you’ll want every minute.
Who Can Play? Everyone With A Pulse And A Love For Fun

Whether you’re 7 or 70, you can join the action. Kids under 12 need an adult sidekick, so parents get your running shoes ready. Tickets start at AED 160, and honestly, that’s a small price to pay for bragging rights after you beat your friends’ high scores.
The maze opens from Tuesday to Sunday, giving you plenty of chances to show off your moves. Afternoon slots suit families, while evening sessions make perfect sense for game nights with your crew.
This is more than gaming, it’s a full-on nostalgia trip wrapped in cutting-edge tech. Whether you grew up glued to a joystick or just discovered Pac-Man on your phone, this live version turns simple gameplay into a heart-racing adventure.
It’s also Instagram gold expect walls drenched in colour, classic arcade vibes, and photo spots made for group selfies. You’ll leave with memories (and probably a bit of a workout).
