What it does
Many sites already use a points system to reward users, but the ways to earn points can feel routine. This addon gives people a game to play instead. It connects the familiar maze-style Pacman game with the myCred points system, so users dodge ghosts, eat power pellets and collect points that count toward their myCred balance. Because the plugin works with BuddyPress, it fits naturally on community sites where members already interact and earn rewards.
Admins can adjust how the game looks, including the colors of the power pellets and the ghosts, so it matches the rest of the site. To keep the reward system balanced, you can set caps on how many points users can earn within chosen time periods. The game runs on desktop and mobile screens, and the plugin works on a single WordPress site or across a multisite network.
Best for
- BuddyPress community sites that reward member activity
- Sites already running myCred points
- Gamified sites looking for a casual arcade game

Questions about myCred Pacman
Do I need myCred and BuddyPress to use this?
Yes. The addon is built around the myCred points system, which is what awards points for playing. It also lists BuddyPress as a requirement, so it suits community sites that run BuddyPress alongside myCred.
Can I stop users from earning too many points from the game?
Yes. You can set limits on how many points a user can earn within designated time periods. This helps keep your reward system balanced and stops heavy players from piling up points too quickly.
Can I change how the game looks?
You can customize game elements such as the power pellet colors and the ghost colors. That lets you match the game to your site's look and branding instead of using the default appearance.
