11 Iowa spots to play Google Maps Pac-Man

It may be April 1 but this is no joke.

You can turn just about any Google Maps location into the classic arcade game Pac-Man, which is exactly what we did at 11 iconic Iowa locations.

Do your best to gobble up all the dots around Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, and avoid Pinky, Blinky, Inky and Clyde on the streets of Arlington, the hometown of Iowa "Bachelor" Chris Soules.

But do it fast, because we don't know how long the game will be around.

Try these locations, then email Adam Wilson at adwilson@dmreg.com or tweet him at @ad_wilson with spots of your own.
