I’m sure you’ve heard of the Roomba—a small, round device that rolls around by itself without the need for instruction and cleans your floors for you. Now someone has thought to take the concept and create the Roomba Pac-Man game. It involves several [Roombas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobot-roomba-combo) wired and dressed up as characters from the [classic game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacmans-45th).

The Roomba Pac-Man game allows you to play Pac-Man in real life on an enormous grid, which makes it that much more fun.
