Whether you're an April Fools person or not, or even if you forgot that the day existed then Google Maps is here to remind you in the best way with a simple game of Snake. The older game (that was made popular for anyone who had a Blackberry around 10 years ago) just follows a digital snake as they take over the world and collect points from picking up objects on your screen.

"Google Maps shows you how to get around on foot, car, train and bicycle, and now, you can ssslither to your destination too," Omar Abdelaziz, Product Manager of Google Maps, said in an official statement. "Starting today, you can play a twist on the snake game in different locations across the world—including Cairo, London, San Francisco, São Paulo, Sydney, and Tokyo—right from Google Maps."

As for how to launch the game, it's simple: "To start playing, simply open the Google Maps app, tap on the menu icon on the top left corner, then select "Play Snake" to get your daily dose of 90s nostalgia (boy bands, fanny packs and slap bracelets not included)."
