Get ready to chase high scores in an all-new Waka Waka way! PAC-MAN: Craze Maze, a new card game inspired by and officially licensed with Bandai Namco Entertainment’s yellow icon PAC-MAN, will launch in 2026.
Designed to be quick to learn and fun for all ages, PAC-MAN: Craze Maze makes it easy for families and casual players to jump right in. Players are challenged to build the best maze possible for their PAC-MAN by drawing, revealing, and placing one tile each turn. The goal of the game is for players to fill their maze with Pac-Dots, Fruits, Power Pellets, and strategically placed Ghosts to create the highest-scoring path. Designed for 2–5 players, each game plays in 15–25 minutes, making it perfect for casual game nights.
Featuring colorful retro-inspired visuals and highly replayable gameplay, PAC-MAN: Craze Maze delivers a nostalgic experience for longtime PAC-MAN fans while introducing a new generation to the beloved franchise.
“PAC-MAN has remained one of gaming’s most recognizable icons over the years. With PAC MAN: Craze Maze, we wanted to capture the thrill of navigating a maze, chasing high scores, and successfully eating Ghosts — all within an accessible tabletop experience that friends and families can enjoy together.”
– Arnaud Perez, CEO and Founder of No Loading Games
