Bud Light Challenged a Fan to a Real Life Pac-Man Game
Laura McQuarrie — January 15, 2015 — Marketing
In downtown Los Angeles, Bud Light set up a real Pac-Man game in order to have someone prove that are were #UpForWhatever. The giant maze of the black and blue setup included white dots that were actually edible, as well as glowing neon ghosts to watch out for.
The elaborate setup and the timing of the maze's installation is leading people to believe that this giant Pac-Man maze will be part of Bud Light's Super Bowl ad this year. True enough, it's been teased that the ad named 'Coin' "Will tell the story of a drinker of the light beer who steps out for a night of fun with 1980s icon Pac-Man as he enters a life-size, interactive Pac-Man game."
