Flickplay and Bandai Namco Entertainment are teaming up to celebrate Pac-Man’s 45th anniversary with a Pokémon Go-like treasure hunt in Tokyo’s Shibuya district.
The event will be held during the DIG Shibuya Festival from February 8 to 11, 2025, and participants can collect Pac-Man-themed NFTs by visiting designated locations.
The event combines location-based gameplay with digital collectibles, paying homage to arcade classics while embracing new technology.

Flickplay is a platform that allows users to interact with NFT-based digital characters in various interactive ways.
The platform supports multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Flow, Ethereum, and Polygon, and allows users to integrate their NFTs into digital experiences. Past collaborations include the Bratz Dolls series, whose characters can be used in Flickplay’s GIF creation tool and virtual games.
Flickplay’s focus goes beyond collectibles to create interoperable NFTs that can be used across platforms and ecosystems.
