April Fools' Day can get quite frustrating with tech companies such as Google releasing crazy press releases, and news outlets pulling pranks of their own. Google's just kick started its day with a re-release of its 2015 Easter egg on Maps to keep things light early on..

Users can play "Ms. PAC-Maps" on a street of their choice by simply clicking the game's logo in the bottom left corner. It is rather peculiar that the game is the exact replica of what was launched last time around, but users can still enjoy playing it nevertheless. According to Google, the game will be playable until the 4th of April

The other Google Maps Easter egg that we saw way before this, in 2013, was the Treasure Hunt game, which also was fun at the time. Google had also made a Pac-Man doodle back in 2010 to celebrate the game's 30th anniversary, and the aforementioned doodle ended up keeping users hooked for hours.
