Recently in London, the [retro game Pac Man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-x-pacman-collection) was projected onto the side of the Millenium Mills building. This was done in an attempt to break the Guinness Book record for [largest working game projection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-gamepix-900). This enormous Pac Man projection was set up by the team at The Gadget Show, to celebrate the release of 'Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures.'

After this mammoth game was set up, fans played this [retro classic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-plug-play-systems) from across the river. This projection easily beat the previous record (in fact, it more than doubled it in size).

Pac Man is a fan favorite among video game lovers, so playing it on the side of such a massive building must have been a dream come true for those who were lucky enough to participate. If bigger is better, than this projected retro game is unbeatable.
