The Pac-Man PowerPoint template is a free 10-slide deck with a retro arcade look: a dark navy grid background, dotted maze paths, neon teal and purple frames, and of course a big yellow Pac-Man chasing two little ghosts. Coral red numbers and clean white content cards keep everything readable. It works in PowerPoint and Google Slides and is a fun choice for gaming topics, school projects or any talk that needs a playful, nostalgic touch.
What's Inside
The deck opens with three illustrated arcade-style slides and then switches to clean white cards for your content:
- Slide 1, Title: "Pac-Man" in a white rounded box with a neon border, flanked by two retro game controllers and a cartridge-style console, with dotted maze lines and a small Pac-Man eating pellets.
- Slide 2, Table of Contents: three coral red numbers (01, 02, 03) with short descriptions on a white card.
- Slide 3, Section title: a headline box beside a large glossy Pac-Man and two ghosts, one orange and one blue, surrounded by dotted paths, circles and triangles.
- Slide 4, Numbered headline: "01" with a smaller Pac-Man and a headline box framed by pink half circles and maze dots.
- Slide 5, About Us: a centered heading and paragraph, good for an introduction or overview.
- Slide 6, Bullet Points (numbered): a title block and five points labeled 01 to 05.
- Slide 7, Quote: large coral quotation marks around a short statement or key message.
- Slide 8, Bullet Points (words): five points labeled One to Five, a second style for lists.
- Slide 9, Strategy: a Goal box connected to four Action boxes in coral red, ideal for plans, steps or game strategies.
- Slide 10, Big number: one large figure with an arrow and caption, perfect for a high score, a statistic or a key result.
The mix of illustrated and plain slides makes the deck easy to pace. Use the arcade-style title, section and headline slides to mark the start of each part of your talk, and keep the white card slides for the actual information. The two bullet layouts let you vary lists so slides do not look repetitive, the strategy slide works well for a plan or step-by-step process, and the big number slide makes a fun high score ending.
Design and Style
The template feels like an arcade screen. A deep navy background is covered in a fine blue grid, and yellow dotted lines wind across the slides like the maze in the classic game. Small neon shapes (teal circles, blue triangles and pink arcs) add movement, while a gradient border from teal to purple frames each slide.
Content slides use bright white rounded cards inside that border, so text stays easy to read. Headings are bold and dark, numbers are coral red, and the body text uses a friendly rounded sans serif. The illustrations are glossy and cartoon-like rather than pixel art, giving the deck a modern take on a retro theme. This is a fan-made template, not an official Pac-Man product.
This split between dark illustrated slides and bright white content slides is practical, too. The arcade slides grab attention at key moments, while the white cards keep longer text, lists and diagrams easy to read on a projector, so the theme never gets in the way of your message.

How to Customize It
Every element in this Pac-Man PPT template can be edited in PowerPoint.
- Replace the text: click on headings and "You can describe the topic" lines and type your own content.
- Move the characters: drag Pac-Man and the ghosts to a new spot, or copy them onto other slides to keep the theme going.
- Change pictures: right-click an illustration and choose Change Picture to swap it for a screenshot or photo.
- Edit the strategy diagram: rename Goal and Action boxes, and duplicate a box with Ctrl+D if you need more steps.

To use these Pac-Man slides in Google Slides, upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.
Before presenting, run the slideshow once from the start (F5) to check that your text fits inside the white cards and that any characters you moved still look balanced on each slide.
