Which cities can I play Pac-Man in?
For this year's April Fools, Google has a Pac-Man option on GoogleMaps.
However, it cryptically references clues in which you can play the Pac-Man maps on, as apparently not all cities are supported.
There's a list of clues it has on its FAQ page, but I don't understand most of them.
Which cities can I play Pac-Man in?
For the Browser version, any area with enough intersecting streets will work.
For the Mobile App version I actually found a good reference at this Mashable article:

On the desktop version, you can go anywhere with enough roads for Pac-Man to move around (I did it around my house), but on the app it's limited to the places previously mentioned by Thebluefish.
You are not limited to only certain cities. You can play Google Maps Pac-Man anywhere there is a sufficient number of intersecting streets. Here are links to a few places I was able to start the Pac-Man game:
- Seattle, WA: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6044359,-122.3309277,18z/data=!1e3
- Cairo, Egypt: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.041075,31.2018952,18z/data=!1e3
- Kremlin, Moscow, Russia: https://www.google.com/maps/@55.752023,37.617499,18z/data=!1e3
The one about kakkoi actually refers to Kitagawa in Japan.
