Reinventing 2017’s Ms. Pac-Man April Fools’ Day gimmick, Google Maps will be launching a Where’s Waldo? game on its Map apps. A user simply has to update the Maps app or visit Google Maps desktop version to play. The British globetrotter will be joined by his iconic squad — Wenda, Woof, Wizard Whitebeard and even nemesis Odlaw.
