[MONTREAL, May 29, 2026] — 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
PAC-MAN: Craze Maze will make its first public debut at the UK Games Expo 2026, taking place May 29–31, 2026. Attendees will have the chance to play and purchase the game with No Loading Games’s UK partner Zatu Games at stand 2-472.
