OUR STORY
As the story begins, the ghosts break out of their supernatural prison and they invade the outer world, frightening the population and causing trouble wherever they go. Pac and his pals are the stars – three heroic teens who engage in an epic battle against sinister spirits in order to restore peace to the world.
Since Pac proves to be the most successful at defeating the ghosts, he quickly becomes the number one enemy of the ghosts’ leader, Sir Cular. The ruling ghost and his minions are willing to use any strategy to eliminate Pac. So, anyone who is close to Pac is potentially in danger. The ghosts will try to hurt Pac’s friends just to hurt Pac. The episodes are big adventures and epic quests with action-packed chases and plenty of humor and character-driven comedy.
Throughout the series, Pac and crew must stay on constant alert to prevent Sir Cular and his minions from gaining access to the Power Pellets.
It’s up to Pac and pals to round up the spirits and send them back from whence they came. On occasion, Pac and pals must enter this dimension to seal up the openings that the ghosts are using to enter the real world.
On other missions, Pac, Cylindria and Spiral venture into the Netherworld to rescue friends, relatives and fellow citizens who have been abducted by ghosts and carried off to this terrifying realm.
Pac and his cohorts are able to safely enter the Netherworld thanks to the special powers they receive from the POWER PELLETS and other special tools provided by Sir Conference.
PAC-MAN, the series is a big, bustling world of action, chills, chases and comedy, starring three unique and winning teenage characters that care about each other, who care about keeping their world free, and who care about the future.
And those are three things worth fighting for: Friendship, Freedom and the Future!
