Title: Which cities can I play Pac-Man in?
Question: 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 i t has on its FAQ page , but I don't understand most of them.  Which cities can I play Pac-Man in?
