Pac-Man Live Experience - Manchester

Growing up, Pac-man was a firm favourite, in fact it still is today with our boys, so when we were asked if we wanted to try out Manchester's wackiest new attraction, we obviously said yes!

Step into the multisensory, life sized game as Pac-man himself in Manchester's brand new immersive, interactive, retro favourite.

Upon arrival you need to sign a waiver and answer a few health questions and then you are given your team arm band. We were team A. We then headed to the free lockers to pop in our loose bits and pieces and then we sat and waited for a few minutes before entering the Pac-master arena. I did notice a funky looking photobooth on the way in which would be fab for souvenir ideas alternatively there's a small selection of gifts available to purchase.

The Pac-master is absolutely full of beans and had so much energy. Donning a bright yellow suit, microphone and he was just fab. He really keeps your spirits up.

A little boy spotted the giant coin which has to be entered into the door (looks like the slot on an arcade machine) and into the arena you go. WOW it's absolutely amazing with a giant screen going all the way around the arena with PAC 'Fans' who cheer you on throughout.

Basically, you turn into Pac-man as you get in your starting position and off you go collecting pellets and avoiding ghosts. It's so much fun. I was knackered by the end of it and I would love to do it again on our next Manchester trip.
