You step through a low-lit doorway and the room rearranges itself around you — neon corridors, overhead sensors and the steady click of runners on synthetic flooring. For an hour you are the yellow chomp, threading narrow lanes, scooping up power pellets and watching phantom opponents flash at the edge of sight. The arena turns classic arcade rhythm into full-body play.
