Google Maps launches ‘snake game’ in celebration of April 1st

In order not to be left out of the pranks that take place on April 1st, the “April Fool’s Day”, the Google Maps made available the nostalgic game Cobranha so that Internet users can have fun on the platform.

The resource will be available throughout the week and, for those who don’t have the app downloaded, a website with the redesigned pastime was also launched so that no one is left out.

To play it on the smartphone, it is only necessary to open the application and click on the icon on the left side – next to the place where the destination address is placed. Among the available options, you will have the “Open the snake game”.

For the happiness of those who missed the 90s, but also wanted to try something different, know that the new features available in the game provide just that. The old snake has been replaced by trains, since we are talking about a commute app. And to make the game even more interesting, you can choose which seat the vehicle will be from: São Paulo, Cairo, London, Sydney, San Francisco or Tokyo.

As with the snake in the game, the size of the trains increases according to the number of passengers collected on the map. In addition to sights arising with the evolution of the game and helping the player to increase his points. For example, in São Paulo, Beco do Batman is one of the places that appear for you to “pick up”.
