If you’re a gamer, then you know that the best way to make high scores on your favorite games is to find the Pac-Man hiding spots. This is because the ghosts will never catch up to you if they’re hidden in strategic places. But what if you don’t have any Pac-Man hiding spots? Well, there’s always the possibility that one of your ghosts might have taken off and gone into another part of the game. In this case, it’s best to try and find them again later when they’re more likely to be around. There are a few different ways to make high scores on games, but one of the most effective ways is by using strategies and finding hidden areas. So if you’re looking for a way to make some serious points in your favorite game, then use these tips as a guide!

There’s two big caveats with this trick: first, it only works in the original game (spin offs and modern adaptations won’t necessarily have it but the original machine and MAME implementations of it will). Second, it doesn’t work if the ghosts see you park yourself there; you need to slip into the spot our of their direct line of sight.
