By putting it in the mobile app, you can play "Ms. Pac-Man" on your phone just like any other game.  And it's easy to find: Just open up the app on your phone and a button to start playing the game will be front and center.  The best part is that you get to play on real-life streets. My game took place in the Flatiron District in New York City.  You can move Ms. Pac-Man around by swiping in any direction, and your score will tally up at the top of the screen.  Ready to play?
