About the Pacman Classic leaderboard
This board ranks the highest-scoring cleared runs of Pacman Classic. Pacman Classic is the maze chase everyone knows: guide the hungry yellow hero through a neon maze, gobbling every pellet while four ghosts hunt you down - a mode rated Easy to learn where ~50% of runs clear the first maze. The current top score here is 7241 by Pedro.
How ranking works
- Only cleared mazes count, and every result is checked for a plausible time and pellet count before it's listed.
- Runs are ranked by score, rewarding ghost chains and fruit as much as survival.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good Classic score?
Scores vary a lot by mode and by player, but here's a rough ladder to climb:
| Just learning | Clearing the maze at all is the win - don't watch the score yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A clear with the fruit collected and a chain or two along the way. |
| Getting good | Every fruit, multiple full ghost chains, few deaths. |
| Score chaser | Herded chains on every power pellet - near-maximum value per run. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't frantic steering - it's herding ghosts before every power pellet so each fright window pays in full.
